HPE Ezmeral Software streamlines data, analytics and AI/ML initiatives
Summary
In 2018, HPE acquired BlueData software, which brought in new capabilities for using application containers to manage data in support of AI/ML efforts. In 2019, it acquired data platform vendor MapR, which brought capabilities for the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS). And on May 2 HPE hired most of the leadership and engineering team behind the recently-acquired Arrikto, one of the leading contributors to the open-source Kubeflow ML workflow project. “We are introducing the new simplified portfolio where we’ve chosen to basically go away from doing things like building out bespoke solutions for container platforms, MLOps and Spark,” Mohan Rajagopalan, vice president and general manager at HPE Ezmeral Software, told VentureBeat. With all the excitement and hype around large language models (LLMs) and the runaway success of OpenAI’s ChatGPT, many organizations are looking to benefit from AI.
