ArcXA and RocketWorx integrate to assist IBM Consulting and Power Users:
1. The Integrated Architecture
Think of this stack as a three-layer "Intelligence Engine" running natively on IBM Power10/11:
Data Layer (Equitus.ai ArcXA): Acts as the "Universal Translator." It uses its native DB2 for i connector to pull data directly from legacy schemas. It cleans, unifies, and creates a Semantic Knowledge Graph of the enterprise without complex ETL.
Analytics Layer (RocketGraph xGT): Acts as the "High-Speed Pattern Finder." Once ArcXA has unified the data, RocketGraph's xGT performs massive-scale graph analytics.
It can traverse billions of data edges (relationships) in seconds to find hidden links that traditional SQL queries would miss. Security Layer (Threatworx): Acts as the "Digital Immune System." It monitors the health and vulnerability of the entire stack. Within the context of an IBM Power shop, it provides specialized threat management for the hybrid-cloud environments these users are moving toward.
2. How it Assists IBM Consulting
IBM Consulting can use the RocketWorx stack to move from "Strategic Advice" to "Immediate Implementation."
Rapid Modernization Proofs-of-Concept (PoCs): Instead of a 6-month data migration project, consultants can use ArcXA to connect to a client’s DB2 for i environment in days.
Fraud & Risk Audits: By feeding ArcXA-unified data into Rocketgraph xGT, consultants can perform deep-link analysis for banking or insurance clients to identify sophisticated fraud rings that bypass standard detection.
Managed Threat Services: Consultants can wrap Threatworx around the Power10 infrastructure to offer "Security-as-a-Service," ensuring that as clients open their DB2 data to AI, they aren't opening it to attackers.
3. Benefits for IBM Power Users
For the IT teams running IBM i (AS/400) or AIX, this combination solves the "Legacy Lockdown" problem:
GPU-Free AI: Both Equitus and Rocketgraph are optimized for IBM Power10’s Matrix Math Accelerator (MMA).
Users can run high-performance AI and graph analytics directly on their existing servers without buying expensive, power-hungry GPUs. Data Sovereignty: Because this stack runs natively on-premise, highly regulated industries (Defense, Healthcare, Finance) can modernize their data stack without the security risk of moving sensitive information to a public cloud.
Operational Visibility: Using Rocket ServerGraph (from the Rocket family) alongside Threatworx gives Power Users a "single pane of glass" to monitor both their backup health and their active security posture.
4. The "Threat-Aware Knowledge Graph" (TAKG)
Threat-Aware Knowledge Graph.
Imagine an IBM Power shop where every piece of data—from supply chain logs in DB2 to video feeds from a warehouse—is unified by ArcXA, analyzed for patterns by RocketGraph, and shielded by Threatworx.
Example: In a logistics company, this stack could detect that a specific user is accessing sensitive DB2 schemas (ArcXA detection) in a pattern that matches known data-exfiltration behavior (RocketGraph analysis) while simultaneously identifying an unpatched vulnerability in the server's OS (Threatworx alert).
Would you like a draft of a "Solution Brief" that IBM Consulting could use to present this combined stack to a Tier-1 banking or defense client?
