Intel pivots to become data company, works to solve federal data security challenges
As data plays an increasingly important role for different organizations across the board, more companies are developing strategic initiatives around data products and offerings. Among these early majority companies is Intel Corp., which is in a unique position to provide value all the way up and down the data stack, according to Melvin Greer, director of data science and analytics at Intel.
“Intel formed in late 2016 it’s artificial intelligence product group, and the formation of this group is extremely consistent with our pivot to becoming a data company,” explained Greer, describing how his company is transitioning to the new era of computing centered around data.
“Now we’re going to be using all of these assets in artificial intelligence, machine learning and cognitive computing, and by using these are in unique position to focus on what we’ve termed the Virtuous Cycle of Growth. This cycle of growth includes cloud computing, data center and [Internet of Things],” he said.
Greer spoke to John Furrier (@furrier) and John Walls (@JohnWalls21), co-hosts of theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s mobile live streaming studio, during the AWS Public Sector Summit in Washington, D.C. (*Disclosure below.)
Intel’s expansion into data
As an industry leader in computing technology, Intel is often the first stop for technology leaders within organizations. With Intel’s push into the data services and products, it can provide even more value to businesses, explained Greer.
“They shared with us directly how important it is to get Intel’s input on both hardware performance but also on software. When we think about artificial intelligence and the chief data officer or scientist, this is likely a different individual than the person who is buying our silicon architecture,” he said.
A data leadership position is a challenging role in any organization, but it presents some unique challenges for data officers in federal agencies.
“We’re now able to use Intel products to encrypt from the BIOS [basic input/output system] all the way up through the application stack. What that means is our government clients, who are typically hyper-sensitive around security, get a chance to have data follow their respective process and meet their mission in a safe and secure way,” Greer stated.
