Machine learning (ML) is the way in which algorithms use patterns in data to draw conclusions. As a part of artificial intelligence, ML tackles complex problems in an iterative and intuitive manner.

Data is an organization’s most valuable asset and the volume and variety of data that organizations amass continues to grow. Simpler data analytics, cheaper data storage, advanced predictive tools like artificial intelligence (AI), and data visualization are necessary for better data-driven decisions.

Organizations are leveraging a hybrid cloud model, defined as integrating on-premises IT in your datacenter with cloud resources, to share data and applications across environments and to reduce or eliminate challenges difficult to address with traditional IT.
