Deepak Rangarao, IBM's Worldwide CTO for Technical Sales in Data and AI, explored the powerful combination of SingleStore and IBM's capabilities at the SingleStore NOW 2024 Conference. He highlighted how these tools can address common data challenges and unlock the full potential of AI for enterprises. StreamSets, a recent IBM acquisition, enables near real-time data pipelines with features such as handling data drift, scalability, and data control and flexibility. Watsonx, IBM's flagship AI platform, offers three core pillars: AI and gen AI, data management, and governance. The combined solution minimizes vendor lock-in, reduces cloud storage costs, and improves query performance. Deepak shared examples of how enterprises can leverage this integrated approach for use cases such as data enrichment and AI model training, hybrid data workloads, and ensuring responsible AI with governance.
