Enterprise Information Architecture for Gen AI and Machine Learning

Get complimentary access to the full report

Generative AI or Gen AI caught the imagination of the web-using public at the beginning of 2023, racking up millions of users and attracting the attention of CIOs everywhere. In this paper, we describe and discuss the nature of Enterprise Information Architecture (EIA) and the data fabric requirements for Gen AI and machine learning (ML) using the Solix Common Data Platform (CDP) as a reference point.

The SOLIXCloud Solution Architecture is an Enterprise Information Architecture. Architectures of this kind can be viewed as an “Enterprise Operating System” that orchestrates a data fabric, a multi-cloud IT environment and DevOps management software, serving a diverse user population with applications and services. SOLIXCloud’s newly released AI products, Solix ML and Solix GPT, illustrate this as they are in effect applications that can be deployed within the EIA. Aside from their impressive functionality, among the benefits they bring is that they are fully integrated within the corporate computing environment.

The primary goal of this paper is to discuss the coherent adoption of both AI and Gen AI within the context of a functional Enterprise Information Architecture (EAI).

Replace IBM Infosphere Optim with SOLIXCloud

IBM has announced the withdrawal of marketing, entitlements and support for certain critical programs in the IBM Infosphere Optim product line effective December 16, 2022. Of critical concern clients will no longer be able to purchase support or entitlements to certain ‘Optim Connect’ technology which provides access to archive data.

‘Optim Connect’ technology refers to:

  • The Optim Open Data Manager components and offerings which support ODBC and JDBC connectivity to Optim Archive Files.
  • The Optim Non Relational Connector components and offerings which support connectors to mainframes and distributed data sources.

Optim users risk the loss of access to their archive data since connectivity to Optim archive files is no longer supported and ‘NO REPLACEMENTS’ are available from IBM. Clients of Optim Open Data Manager will no longer have ODBC and JDBC access to their archive files, and since Optim files are proprietary, only Optim Open Data Manager provides in place granular access to the Optim Archive.

The Solix Data Fabric: A Multi-cloud Information Architecture

Digital transformation is driving organizations as fast as they can to implement data-driven solutions that transform business results such as advanced analytics, artificial intelligence and machine learning. But achieving digital transformation isn’t so easy for many organizations because a new information architecture is required called the data fabric. The data fabric is a trusted, multi-cloud information architecture that automates data management functions end to end.

Cloud data management runs either as a private cloud solution managed by in-house resources or as a SaaS subscription. Once data is captured and ingested into a common data platform, cloud data management applications provide tooling to pipeline, enrich, transform and prepare the data for later use.

The ethics of sensitive data and Solix Technologies

Sensitive data – and, more specifically, personal data and PII – is a hot topic. In the wake of GDPR, CCPA, and other recent data privacy regulations, there is a growing need to treat the sensitive data within your organization with as much care as possible, not just to comply with the aforementioned regulations but also to satisfy an increasingly privacy-conscious public. In essence, there are both moral and practical reasons to handle your sensitive data ethically.

But what does this mean in practice? What data qualifies as sensitive and how do you protect it? Most of all, why precisely should you care, at least beyond the bare minimum required by law? It is these questions, and more, that this paper seeks to answer. The paper discusses the last of these questions before moving onwards to address the former since it will be easier to describe what you need to do if we’ve already established why you’re doing it.

The whitepaper also highlights how SOLIXCloud Consumer Data Privacy can help you automate and scale your sensitive data management and stay compliant with regulations such as GDPR, CCPA, and more.
