Cognitive cloud computing is the fusion of cognitive computing capabilities with cloud computing platforms and services. It involves utilizing advanced technologies to enable computers to mimic human thought processes and perform tasks that traditionally require human intelligence. This integration combines the scalability and flexibility of cloud computing with the intelligence and adaptability of cognitive technologies, empowering organizations to harness data-driven insights and deliver more intelligent and personalized experiences to users.
The primary categories of cognitive cloud computing include on-premises software and cloud-based services. On-premises software refers to computer programs and applications installed and operated on computers or servers within an organization's premises, rather than being hosted on remote servers or in the cloud. Various cognitive technologies involved in this computing include natural language processing, machine learning, automated reasoning, among others. Cognitive cloud computing finds applications across various sectors such as healthcare, banking and financial services, retail, government, information technology (IT) and telecommunications, security, and others, catering to diverse end-users including large enterprises and small and medium businesses (SMEs).

The growth of raw data volumes is anticipated to drive the expansion of the cognitive cloud computing market in the coming years. Raw data refers to unprocessed, unorganized, and unstructured information collected directly from its source, without undergoing any analysis, transformation, or manipulation. The surge in raw data volumes is attributed to the widespread use of digital devices, the expansion of online activities, the proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and the increasing digitization across various industries. Cognitive cloud computing leverages advanced AI algorithms to effectively manage and analyze large volumes of data, enabling faster insights and decision-making through automated learning and adaptable features. For example, data from the Linux Foundation in December 2022 indicated significant annual data growth for organizations with storage capacities of up to 20 petabytes and up to 25 petabytes, driving the need for cognitive cloud computing solutions.
Key players in the cognitive cloud computing market are focusing on developing innovative solutions such as generative artificial intelligence (AI) and AI-based cognitive intelligence platforms to gain a competitive advantage. A generative artificial intelligence (AI)-based cognitive intelligence platform integrates generative AI techniques with cognitive computing capabilities to create intelligent and adaptable solutions. For instance, Mphasis, an India-based IT solutions company, launched DeepInsights Doc AI in March 2024. This cognitive intelligence platform powered by generative AI revolutionizes document processing by extracting context-specific information from documents and seamlessly integrating it with downstream IT systems. DeepInsights Doc AI can handle various content types, including text, forms, tables, and images, while accurately extracting relevant information.
