Foundational Hardware Technology

The world is generating reams of data each day, and the AI systems built to make sense of it all constantly need faster and more robust hardware. We’re developing new devices and architectures to support the tremendous processing power AI requires to realize its full potential.

AI Hardware

AI has the potential to solve some of the biggest challenges facing myriad industries. At IBM Research, we’re working on semiconductor innovations for the hybrid cloud and AI — foundational hardware technology that we can use to build the next generation of chips to solve those challenges. 

We’re driving infrastructure innovations spanning physical infrastructure, operating systems, and software-defined compute, network, and storage. Our goal is to create technologies that improve performance, reliability, security, and ease of operation across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure

The hybrid cloud is creating new opportunities to transform the way scientific research is done. From access to high-performance infrastructure, to support for multi-cloud deployments and cloud-native technologies like containers and serverless computing, we're driving full-stack innovations to transform R&D.
