Where is your company's technology heading? Two increasingly common destinations are cloud and artificial intelligence (AI). Cloud computing—providing data, software applications, and software services over the Internet—has been one of the main trends in enterprise IT in the past few decades. During the pandemic, spending on the cloud has skyrocketed as companies and consumers rely on it for homeschooling, streaming entertainment, and working from home.

According to {{​​#url}} forecast {{/url}}{{^url}} forecast {{/url}}, by 2028, the global cloud computing market will reach 12510.9 billion U.S. dollars, an average increase of 19.1%. Provided by Grand View Research, a market research and consulting company.

As businesses and public sector organizations use artificial intelligence to automate tasks, improve efficiency, and make more informed decisions, the artificial intelligence market is also growing rapidly. One of the most promising uses of artificial intelligence is in healthcare. Grand stated that the artificial intelligence market in the global healthcare market is estimated to be worth US$120.2 billion by 2028 {{/url}}{{^url}} It will reach US$120.2 billion by 2028{{ /url}} View the research. Current or future uses of artificial intelligence in healthcare include the production of more effective drugs and faster and more accurate diagnosis of diseases.

With the help of artificial intelligence, computers can learn from the recorded past, recognize deviations in patterns and specifications, and then use this knowledge to perform tasks that until recently could only be performed by humans.

In order to make an accurate diagnosis and cure patients, doctors must thoroughly study patient data. This includes test results and body scan images, reading them carefully, and then diagnosing possible problems. Inspection tests can be laborious.

Doctors make mistakes, just like all of us. That’s why, according to the {{#url}}BMJ Quality & Safety study{{/url}}{{^url}}BMJ Quality & Safety{{/url}}, every 20 adult patients In the United States, approximately 12 million adults are misdiagnosed each year.

{{#url}}Comarch{{/url}}{{^url}}Comarch{{/url}} is an enterprise-oriented IT software and service provider that uses {{#url}}IBM Power{ {/ url}}{{^url}}IBM Power{{/url}} server to dramatically increase the speed of Comarch's machine learning process and apply it to healthcare-one of our fastest growing markets.

After receiving the IBM hardware for testing, Comarch, founded in 1993 and with approximately 6,500 employees, decided to compare with other professional machines to see how high-performance servers handle the supply of electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis of heart rhythm and electrical activity business. IBM hardware equipped with Nvidia graphics cards can perform ECG-related calculations almost twice as fast. Other benefits include a five-fold increase in the speed of processing ESG data from patients during monitoring within two weeks.

However, getting into the cloud and maximizing the benefits of AI can sometimes be a bumpy journey—especially if your company has old or “legacy” IT infrastructure.

Powerful and scalable cloud system

Comarch technology and services enable Power System users to migrate their traditional IT infrastructure to the cloud. It also provides companies with all the advantages of the cloud (flexibility, scalability, ease of use) and the latest virtualization capabilities.

The Comarch platform named {{#url}}PowerCloud{{/url}}{{^url}}PowerCloud{{/url}} costs the same or cheaper than traditional Power Systems hosting, and includes the following tools: convenient Work. It aims to make the cloud model affordable for all kinds of organizations. It includes automation and built-in expertise to make it easy to use.

Both Power Systems and PowerCloud are great tools for any AI project in any field. IBM servers are characterized by unparalleled performance in advanced computing-now they can be easily implemented in companies with very limited barriers to entry.

Whether it is business optimization or advanced data analysis, PowerCloud can realize most of the potential of AI. Organizations using IBMi, AIX or LinuxOnPower systems can migrate their "traditional" systems to PowerCloud and reduce the cost of ownership by using pay-as-you-go pricing systems and managed services.

According to Comarch tests, if an organization migrates from a Power-Systems-based IT infrastructure (on-premises) to the cloud, it can reduce IT costs by as much as 30% to 40%.

Despite these and other impressive results, there are still some common misconceptions about Power Systems, including that they are old legacy systems (not true, the new version is very suitable for hybrid clouds) and they are very expensive (they are not Cheap because of quality, but Comarch platform is much cheaper than Power Systems).

Power system experts are in short supply. Most certified experts work at IBM. For Power System users who want to migrate their IT infrastructure to the cloud, outsourcing tasks is almost always cheaper than doing them internally.

It may also be more secure because Comarch is an expert in this technology and migration, and only uses highly secure {{#url}} data centers{{/url}}{{^url}}data centers{{/url }}. Outsourcing this work will enable your IT department to focus on using technologies including artificial intelligence to gain a competitive advantage.
