Figure 1 – DXC Analytics and AI Platform (AAIP). |
The bottom layer of the graphic above is DXC’s managed service offering where they offer to manage the platform. |
The next layer shows where DXC offers flexible deployment options including hybrid cloud, on-premises, and AWS deployments. Bundled with DXC’s managed service, AAIP takes the guesswork and complexity out of analytics with a fully managed, industrialized solution that incorporates the latest technologies. |
DXC follows AWS best practices for policies, architecture, and operational processes built to satisfy the requirements of enterprise grade security to protect data and IT infrastructure hosted in AWS. |
DXC provides the core industrialized platform complemented by AWS products and platform extensions from a rich services catalog, and custom options are also available. Customers can take advantage of rapid advances in artificial intelligence (AI), automation, and core analytics technologies offered from AWS. |
DXC’s solution accelerator, design patterns, and reference architecture speed up the implementation, allowing you to quickly access the right data and develop solutions that target the most critical needs. |
