To resolve the backup failure issue caused by identical hostnames across IIAS appliances running in Docker containers.

Assigning unique hostnames to each IIAS appliance (or container) is essential because backup tools like EMC NetWorker rely on hostnames to identify and manage client systems. When multiple appliances use the same hostname, EMC NetWorker cannot dif...

Batch Mode Inferencing for Enterprise-Grade Scalable AI Workflows and Data Processing with WatsonX

The WatsonX AI platform currently lacks support for batch mode inferencing, which is essential for handling large-scale data processing tasks required by our enterprise customers. Many of our users have identified the need to perform inferencing o...

A novel memory architecture for AI that uses resonance-based retrieval from coherence gradients in a frequency field, enabling robust pattern recognition, generalization, and noise resilience.

Why is it useful? It offers a fundamentally new approach to memory and pattern recognition that is more resilient to noise, capable of generalizing from partial input, and potentially lower in power consumption than traditional neural networks. Wh...
