Microsoft Azure & IBM Cloud Services

The document compares Microsoft Azure and IBM Cloud services. Microsoft Azure offers computing, networking, storage, web and mobile development, containers, databases, AI and cognitive services, data and analytics, IOT, enterprise integration, security and identity, developer tools, and monitoring and management. IBM Cloud offers IBM Watson's cognitive computing services developed starting in 2007 to answer questions by processing natural language and extracting knowledge from large datasets. Watson uses IBM Power servers and Linux to operate at high performance for question answering.

IBM Watson‘s project started 2007

 Project started in 2007, lead David Ferrucci


• Initial goal: create a system able to process
natural language & extract knowledge faster
than any other computer or human

• Jeopardy! was chosen because it’s a huge


challenge for a computer to find the questions
to such “human” answers under time pressure

• Watson was NOT online!

• Watson weighs the probability of his answer


being right – doesn’t ring the buzzer if he’s not
confident enough

• Which questions Watson got wrong almost as


interesting as which he got right!
