Leveraging Data Governance Across Big Data Environments
Data is a critical asset to organizations today and the growing volume of diverse data generation is making data management and governance increasingly important and challenging. Managing the ever-increasing complexity in data sets has given rise to the concept of big data, but what exactly is big data, and why is it important for businesses?

The Case for Multicloud Infrastructure Adoption
Putting all your eggs in one basket doesn’t always work out well. We’ve all done it, and when done in a business context (e.g., Cloudflare’s July outage that briefly tanked numerous web-based businesses), the consequences can be far-reaching and dire.

Question on: IBM watsonx.data intelligence
What are Capacity Unit-Hours?
Billing
Data Refinery Flow, Profiling and Sampling jobs are charged for the number of whole or partial hours they run multiplied by the number of Capacity Units required per hour for each capacity type. At the moment, IBM supports only one capacity type in Watson Knowledge Catalog, which requires six Capacity Units per hour. A minimum charge of 0.96 Capacity Unit-Hours will apply for each job execution. A set number of free Capacity Unit-Hours are included in each plan for the month. For the Professional plan, charges will apply once the plan limit is reached for that month. For the Lite plan, once the plan limit for that month is reached, a data-flow or profiling job cannot be run until the next month or until the plan is upgraded to the Professional plan.
Examples:
1) A Data Refinery Flow job runs for 30 minutes
0.5 hours x 6 Capacity Units Required Per Hour x USD 0.50 per Capacity Unit-Hour = USD 1.50
2) A Profiling job runs for nine minutes (profiling jobs can be automatically or manually triggered)
The minimum charge applies in this scenario:
0.16 hours x 6 Capacity Units Required Per Hour x USD 0.50 per Capacity Unit-Hour = USD 0.48
3) A Data Refinery Flow job runs for 12 hours
12 hours x 6 Capacity Units Required Per Hour x USD 0.50 per Capacity Unit-Hour = USD 36.00

Question on: IBM watsonx.data intelligence
Are there data-preparation capabilities in Watson Knowledge Catalog?
Capabilities
Yes. Data-preparation capabilities are available through Data Refinery, which is part of Watson Knowledge Catalog. Data Refinery provides a rich set of capabilities that not only allow you to discover, cleanse, and transform your data with built-in operations, but it also comes with powerful profiling and visualization tools, such as charts, graphs and stats to help you interact with and understand your data. Data-access-and-transform policies defined in Watson Knowledge Catalog are also enforced in Data Refinery to ensure that sensitive data that originated from governed catalogs remains protected.
