How intelligent cloud works
- Intelligent cloud uses artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze large amounts of data.
- The cloud platform uses machine learning (ML) technologies to learn from the available data.
- The learnings are used for making predictions and decisions to improve efficiency and enhance the capabilities of cloud services.
Examples of intelligent cloud functions
- Predictive analytics. Statistical algorithms and machine learning models are used to analyze data and predict future outcomes.
- Speech recognition. Some intelligent cloud services (e.g., voice assistants) use speech recognition technologies.
- Natural language processing. NLP refers to the technology that allows computers to understand human language. Some intelligent cloud services (e.g., virtual assistants and chatbots) use NLP.
Advantages of intelligent cloud
- Improved efficiency. Businesses can automate processes and workflows, allowing them to increase productivity and efficiency.
- Predictive capabilities. Intelligent cloud services offer predictive insights backed by machine learning.
- Scalability and flexibility. Intelligent cloud services are highly flexible and scalable.
- Cost-effectiveness. Businesses can typically access cost-effective intelligent cloud services, allowing them to pay only for the resources they use.
