Hybrid Computing for Advanced Automotive Manufacturing and Software Defined Vehicles
Hybrid computing is revolutionizing the automotive industry, driving the development of cutting-edge software-defined vehicles, connected factories, and seamless digital customer experiences.
The automotive industry is undergoing a dramatic digital transformation as vehicles become ever more connected, software-defined, and reliant on complex IT and operational technology (OT) systems. To navigate this transition and reap the cost savings, revenue growth, and competitive advantages it promises, automakers must build a robust yet flexible hybrid computing foundation.
As the recent IBM Institute for Business Value white paper “Digital cars need digital automakers” astutely observes: “we use the term hybrid cloud platform to describe some level of integration that spans public, private, multicloud, and on-premises infrastructure, and increasingly edge computing and distributed cloud.” Let’s unpack this loaded statement.
A “hybrid cloud platform” refers to a computing environment that seamlessly combines multiple types of infrastructure:
