watsonx.dataIBM watsonx.data is an open, hybrid, governed, enterprise-ready data store built on an open data lakehouse architecture. It enables hybrid cloud analytics workloads such as data engineering, data science and business intelligence, through open-source components with integrated IBM innovation, built-in governance, and automation.
Users access their data through a single point of entry and run multiple fit-for-purpose query engines such as Presto and Spark across IT environments. Through workload optimization an organization can reduce data warehouse costs by up to 50 percent. Db2 Warehouse and Netezza on AWS natively integrate with watsonx.data with shared metadata and support for open formats such as Parquet and Iceberg to share and combine data for new insights without ETL.
