We are back!
We are thrilled to announce the return of in-person IBM zSystems Customer Councils in Puerto Rico.
During our absence, there have been many developments in the IBM zSystems world, and we would like to highlight some of the most exciting topics. Our theme for the day is Modernization, and we will cover how the platform has evolved to deliver new business services, capabilities and thought leadership.
Our first speaker will kick off the session with an IBM® z16™ Platform Strategy discussion. She will lay the foundation for the day with an introduction to our strategic intiatives and industry trends that will be explored more in-depth through the day.
That will be followed by a look at IBM zSystems Hardware Trends and Directions. We will take a look at the recent announcements around the IBM® z16™ hardware platform and highlight some new and improved capabilities.
Next, you will learn about recent hardware and software advances that have made zSystems an outstanding environment for leveraging AI technology, with use cases ranging from in-transaction predictive analytics for high-volume online and batch operational applications to extended analytical insight derived from existing databases.
We will then explore the Hybrid Cloud and DevOps Technologies for the zSystems Platform. This will include a look at tools and technologies are available to modernize development and systems management, enable hybrid cloud and automate deployment.
To round out the day, we will venture into IBM zSystems Security. You will learn about how IBM zSystems can help businesses address challenges like protecting today’s data from “harvest now, decrypt later” quantum attacks, automating and simplifying your compliance audit readiness to lower cost and risk, and mitigating the impact of disasters with the cyber resilient IBM® z16™. We will highlight the IBM Z cryptographic & security capabilities and solutions, and preview technology directions & trends.
