IBM’s statements  regarding  its  plans,  directions,  and  intent  are  subject  to change  orwithdrawal without  notice  and  at  IBM’s sole  discretion.

Information  regarding potential  future  products  is  intended  to  outline  our  general  productdirection  and  it  should  not  be  relied  on  in  making  a  purchasing  decision.

The  information  mentioned regarding  potential  future  products  is  not  a  commitment,  promise,  or legal  obligation  to  deliver  any  material,  code  or functionality.  Information  about  potential  future products  may not  be  incorporated  into  any  contract.

The development,  release,  and  timing  of  any  future  features  or functionality  described  for  our  products  remains  at  our  sole  discretion.

Performance  is  based  on measurements  and  projections  using  standard  IBM  benchmarks  in  a controlled  environment.  The  actual  throughput  or  performance  that  any user  will  experience  will vary  depending  upon  many  factors,  including  considerations such  as  the  amount  of  multiprogramming  in  the  user’s  job  stream,  the I/O  configuration,  the  storage  configuration,  and  the workloadprocessed.  Therefore,  no  assurance  can  be  given  that  an  individual user  will  achieve  results  similar  to  those  stated  here.

Yet  the  vast  majority  of  data  is  locked  away  in  silos.

Worse  yet,  most  data  is  unintelligible   to  traditional  BI  systems.

It  is  unstructured.

Those  who  can  draw  insights  from  their  data  can  gain  valuable  competitive  advantage.
