Breaking down IBM’s "AI first" business-focused approach 🚀 In this week’s #theCUBE Pod, our hosts John Furrier and David Vellante discuss IBM’s CEO Arvind Krishna’s approach to doubling down on business and defining IBM’s strategy instead of geeking out. “Krishna made his stake in the ground about AI being the business. He didn't use AI native, he used AI first, basically saying it's not just about bolting on AI, it's about actually making AI a fundamental part of the operating model. Arvind is a technical guru, and as geeks who love to talk tech, I was hoping that we would be able to go deeper,” Vellante shares. “I thought it was a smart move by Arvind to be the CEO of IBM and clarify IBM's business strategy. I think he really wanted to intentionally [bring] this up. You asked him the question in the analyst meeting on this point, ‘Where's the tech stack at? Why aren't you doing that?’ He said, ‘I want to educate people on the business transformation that's happening. It's real. And if you're not on that AI curve, you're going to be behind.’ He wanted to drive that home. So, he kind of shifted into more business speaking,” Furrier adds. 📺 Get more insights! https://lnkd.in/e4ZpHC7v #AI #AIFirst #TechStack #EnterpriseAI

To meet customer expectations for predictable workload-level price-performance and transparent pricing, we introduced the next generation of OCI Compute Shapes, built on Oracle Acceleron. Oracle Acceleron is OCI’s suite of network software and architecture, designed to help customers run workloads faster and more cost-effectively. The new Acceleron family of compute shapes expands customer choice with shapes designed for different workload needs and reflects how OCI is evolving compute design to better serve modern workloads. Key benefits include: Better workload fit: The new Acceleron shapes use core-to-memory ratios that better match actual workload needs, helping customers improve workload fit, use memory more efficiently, and avoid overprovisioning memory as memory becomes a more important part of workload economics. Higher throughput and faster storage access: Acceleron SmartNIC enables higher throughput with enhanced security properties, along with faster, higher-performance storage access. Transparent pricing: Transparent pricing helps deliver stronger efficiency and clearer price-performance across a broad range of use cases. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/dDrD4s-k
