32
IBM Watson is probably the most well known - and certainly one of the most formidable - supercomputers in operation today . Its AI has proven itself up to the most challenging of tasks - including beating 74-time-straight Jeopardy ! champion Ken Jennings in a human-vs . - machine showdown on primetime television . Slightly more relevant to this month ’ s topic is the ongoing project between Nlyte Software and IBM Watson that has seen the two companies launch the world ’ s first cognitive DCIM solution . The Nlyte Energy Optimiser ( NEO ) provides real-time monitoring , alarming , trending , and power systems analysis of both IT and facilities infrastructure . This platform is then combined with IBM Watson ’ s AI capabilities , to provide customers with a new level of operational comprehensiveness , according to IBM . It is in the form of a cognitive solution that provides current analysis of total operations and also future insights into device failures . OCTOBER 2020
