Delivering Innovations, Including for AI, Against the 12 Cs for Modern Enterprise Computing, and the New IBM z16

This IDC Perspective discusses 12 requirements that a compute platform must fulfill to be considered a modern enterprise computing platform as well as several innovations that the IBM z16 delivers to address these requirements. With the launch of the IBM z16, IBM has delivered innovations for several critical elements of modern enterprise computing, namely, with regard to capacity, continuity and compliance, cognition, cloud compatibility, community-based software, consumption-based cost, and cryptographic capability. Together with innovations from past generations, this puts the z16 in an advanced position in the enterprise computing market. "IBM was already ticking off all the boxes for modern enterprise computing after the innovations of the past three IBM Z generations," says Peter Rutten, research vice president, Performance-Intensive Computing at IDC. "Now with the IBM z16, the platform delivers groundbreaking innovations in this market on several fronts, including for AI, that are critical for enterprises."
