Watsonx.data is an enterprise-ready data store that enables hybrid cloud analytics workloads such as data engineering, data science and business intelligence, through open-source components with integrated IBM innovation.
Watsonx.data will allow users to 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.
