IBM and Wasabi Technologies to Promote Data Innovation

IBM and Wasabi Technologies have partnered to promote data innovation across hybrid cloud environments. This collaboration seeks to enable enterprises to operate applications in any environment – on-premises, in the cloud, or at the edge – and to enable users to access and use key business data and analytics in real-time at a low cost.

Major League Baseball’s Boston Red Sox will be the first to use the combined power of IBM Cloud Satellite and Wasabi hot cloud storage to enhance the club’s operations across the board.

Wasabi hot cloud storage does not charge clients for egress or API requests to retrieve their data, which Wasabi claims can help with cost predictability and savings. Data can be stored and viewed as and when required.

The hybrid cloud approach provided by IBM Cloud Satellite can assist clients in managing cloud object storage and workloads operating across environments from a single control point, utilizing innovative security and controls regardless of where data is gathered, processed, or shared.

The Red Sox intend to use Wasabi hot cloud storage across their hybrid cloud infrastructure while also piloting IBM Cloud Satellite to house data such as play video, analytics, surveillance data, IoT, and more across Fenway Park and to bring the flexibility of public cloud services to their secure on-premises data center.

“Because our critical data is growing at an incredible rate,” says Brian Shield, executive vice president and chief technology officer of the Boston Red Sox, “our organization is prioritizing a cost-effective and scalable approach to leveraging cloud technology.” “The Red Sox have already benefited from Wasabi’s performance and cost reliability, and with the addition of IBM hybrid cloud technology, we can take our digital initiatives to the next level.” This eventually leads back to providing the best fan experience possible.”

Clients from all sectors can use IBM Cloud and Wasabi to access extended secured, open cloud services to help transform applications and workflows while managing security across any setting. This enables businesses to store and retrieve data on-premises, in the cloud services, or at the edge.

“Wasabi is on a mission to collect and store all the world’s data.” “Organizations that store massive amounts of data, such as sports organizations, need to be able to store data in an accessible way without being locked into a single vendor with high fees,” says David Friend, co-founder and CEO of Wasabi Technologies.

“Working with IBM demonstrates Wasabi’s commitment to the cloud storage market and provides our customers a better way to manage their data across multiple locations.”

“In today’s digital-first world, data can be an organization’s most valuable asset, providing valuable insights that can transform business.” Our collaboration with Wasabi technology will help clients to reimagine data-enabled business operations while focusing on resilience, performance, security, and compliance.

“We are assisting organizations across all industries, including highly regulated ones, in gaining game-changing insights from any environment while maintaining security,” says Howard Boville, Head of IBM Hybrid Cloud Platform.

IBM Unveils Quantum Computer

In the meantime, IBM has unveiled the world’s first quantum computer devoted to medical research.

“This is a watershed moment in our innovative partnership with IBM while we explore new ways to apply the power of quantum computing to healthcare service,” said Cleveland Clinic CEO Tom Mihaljevic, M.D., told CTN News.

The revolutionary new quantum computer is said to be the world’s first quantum computer dedicated exclusively to medical research.

A quantum computer is a quickly evolving technology that uses quantum phenomena to solve complex problems that conventional computers cannot handle.

The computer at the office is five feet tall. It will be used to advance medicine development, identify treatments for complicated diseases, discover new molecules for developing effective drugs, sequence genes for cancer research, and even generate employment in the technology sector.

“This technology has enormous potential for revolutionizing healthcare and hastening progress toward new treatments, cures, and solutions for patients.”

“Quantum and other advanced computing technologies will assist researchers in overcoming historic scientific bottlenecks and potentially discovering new treatments for patients suffering from diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer’s, and diabetes,” Mihaljevic said.
