Securely Leverage Open-Source Software with Python AI Toolkit for IBM z/OS by Joe Bostian,Evan Rivera,IBM Redbooks Pdf

Open-source software (OSS) is widely available and serves as an essential component for enterprises in the artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) industry. Specifically, the open-source programming language Python is one of the most versatile and popular programming languages that are used in the world at the time of writing. This situation is especially true in the data science community, where Python provides many libraries and tools that enable essential AI and ML functions, and where it is supported by a large community of developers that actively contribute to its development. Understanding and managing vulnerabilities within OSS can be complex because of the many components, dependencies, and contributors that are involved. Although the nature of OSS helps balance access to programming and technology, it also results in fast-paced changes to software, which emphasizes the importance of software currency to minimize security concerns. Enterprises understand the critical need to have access to and leverage reputable open-source projects with proper maintenance, updates, transparency, reliable support, and a sense of control to form a secure foundation for implementing AI solutions. Python AI Toolkit for IBM® z/OS® is a powerful set of tools and libraries that is used to establish a secure foundation for AI development and deployment on z/OS so that enterprises can leverage their existing infrastructure for these mission-critical applications. The OSS that is provided within Python AI Toolkit for IBM z/OS is scanned and vetted for security vulnerabilities so that users can make informed decisions when leveraging these Python packages. Packages can be installed and managed by using the Package Installer for Python (pip), which is a common Python package manager, enabling a familiar, flexible, and agile delivery experience while empowering developers to build AI solutions.

Four Ways to Transform Your Mainframe for a Hybrid Cloud World by Guillaume Arnould,Guillaume Hoareau,Herve Sabrie,Sebastien Llaurency,Yann Kindelberger,IBM Redbooks Pdf

The IBM® mainframe remains a widely used enterprise computing workhorse, hosting essential IT for the majority of the world's top banks, airlines, insurers and more. As the mainframe continues to evolve, the newest IBM Z® servers offer solutions for AI and analytics, blockchain, cloud, DevOps, security and resiliency, with the aim of making the client experience similar to that of using cloud services. Many organizations today face challenges with their core IT infrastructure: Complexity and stability An environment might have years of history and be seen as too complex to maintain or update. Problems with system stability can impact operations and be considered a high risk for the business. Workforce challenges Many data center teams are anticipating a skills shortage within the next 5 years due to a retiring and declining workforce specialized in the mainframe, not to mention the difficulty of attracting new talent. Total cost of ownership Some infrastructure solutions are seen as too expensive, and it's not always easy to balance up-front costs with the life expectancy and benefits of a given platform. Lack of speed and agility Older applications can be seen as too slow and monolithic as organizations face an increasing need for faster turnaround and release cycles. Some software vendors suggest addressing these challenges with the "big bang" approach of moving your entire environment to a public cloud. But public cloud isn't the best option for every workload, and a hybrid multicloud approach can offer the best of both worlds. IBM Z is constantly being developed to address the real challenges businesses face today, and every day we're helping clients modernize their IT environments. There are 4 strategic elements to consider when modernizing your mainframe environment: Infrastructure Applications Data access DevOps chain This paper focuses on these four modernization dimensions.

Machine Learning with Business Rules on IBM Z: Acting on Your Insights by Mike Johnson,Chris Backhouse,Stéphane Faure,David Griffiths,Yann Kindelberger,Ke Wei Wei,Hao Zhang,IBM Redbooks Pdf

This Redpaper introduces the integration between two IBM products that you might like to consider when implementing a modern agile solution on your Z systems. The document briefly introduces Operational Decision Manager on z/OS and Machine learning on z/OS. In the case of Machine Learning we focus on the aspect of real-time scoring models and how these can be used with Business Rules to give better decisions. Note: Important changes since this document was written: This document was written for an older release of Operational Decision Manager for z/OS (ODM for z/OS). ODM for z/OS 8.9.1 required the writing of custom Java code to access a Watson Machine Learning for z/OS Scoring Service (this can be seen in ). Since that time ODM for z/OS version 8.10.1 has been released and much improves the integration experience. Integrating the two products no longer requires custom Java code. Using ODM for z/OS 8.10.1 or later you can use an automated wizard in the ODM tooling to: Browse and select a model from Watson Machine Learning Import the Machine Learning data model into your rule project Automatically generate a template rule that integrates a call to the Watson Machine Learning scoring service Download and read this document for: Individual introductions to ODM for z/OS and Machine learning Discussions on the benefits of using the two technologies together Information on integrating if you have not yet updated to ODM for z/OS 8.10.1 For information about the machine learning integration in ODM for z/OS 8.10.1 see IBM Watson Machine Learning for z/OS integration topic in the ODM for z/OS 8.10.x Knowledge Center
