IT industry pioneer IBM announces the launch of a set of data and automation updates to its hybrid cloud software portfolio. With the new update, the company is bolstering its IBM Cloud Pak for Data and Cloud Pak for Automation, promising integrated data & AI capabilities that run on Red Hat OpenShift. The company claims that the new stack is designed to better manage and automate data-intensive processes by coupling the intelligence of Watson AI in hybrid cloud environments. The idea is however to help organizations scale by accelerating digital transformations.

In a statement, Michael Gilfix, Vice President, Chief Product Officer, Cloud Paks, IBM, said, “Cloud Pak offerings are integrated with AI and give companies a consistent experience from Pak to Pak. And because they run on Red Hat OpenShift, clients can deploy and manage them on any cloud environment, be it on-premises, and/or public cloud. With today's announcements, we're driving automation and data management capabilities even farther across the enterprise.”
