Happy 107th birthday, IBM!
IBM started out with meat and cheese slicers. In 1944, we built our first computer. And now, we’re advancing quantum computing. A lot’s changed in the last 107 years, and we can’t wait to see what the next 107 bring. Happy Birthday, Big Blue!
Meet the scientists behind the IBM Q quantum computing systems as they answer 50 questions, one for each qubit in IBM Q. Learn about qubits, dilution refrigerators, even the secret handshake to get into the lab. And finally get an answer to "what is quantum?"
In an era of unpredictable disruption, companies need to do more than transform. You must fearlessly reimagine your business — to the core — designing and building the platforms necessary for growth. Protect and prepare for what’s next with IBM Services. #think2018 ibm.com/services

IBM is hosing its annual THINK conference to packed halls in Las Vegas this week. Given how important its cloud business has become to its bottom line, it’s no surprise that this event features its fair share of cloud news. Among today’s announcements is the launch of the third generation of Power Systems servers in the IBM Cloud. This comes a day after Google also confirmed that it is using these processors in its data centers, too.
These servers are designed around the recently launched Power9 RISC processor (which are themselves the latest generation of the PowerPC processors Apple once used) and Nvidia Tesla V100 GPUs. Thanks to their use of the high-speed NVLink interface, these machines are especially powerful when it comes to training machine learning models.
In addition, IBM is also bringing its PowerAI distribution to the cloud. PowerAI is essentially IBM’s deep learning platform that supports frameworks like TensorFlow, Torch and Caffe, as well as IBM’s own deep learning frameworks. Given that PowerAI has long been optimized for exactly the kind of Power servers IBM is now bringing to its Cloud (the AC922, to be exact), it’s no surprise that PowerAI will be available in the Cloud, too.
Now is your time to be the disruptor–see change before it happens or risk losing relevance. The way forward is to practice continuous reinvention of your business with the customer and employee at the core. Modernize applications and put the cloud to work. Redesign workflows and processes with AI, automation, IoT, and blockchain so your team can focus on uncovering insights that protect and fuel innovation at scale. In this campus, reimagine your business to conquer today’s biggest challenge: tomorrow. ibm.com/events/think #think2018
