Learn how HPE Ezmeral Unified Analytics Software makes it easier to fully realize the potential of AI and analytics by integrating them throughout your entire business.
The rapid rise of AI and analytics has generated significant attention and excitement. However, distinguishing between the hype and reality can be challenging, leaving enterprises struggling to figure out how to apply advanced intelligence to their operations.
This daunting task is intensified by the rapidly changing landscape, where businesses face distributed operations, vast amounts of data, new data types, hybrid multi-cloud environments, and rapidly changing open-source analytics tools. These factors collectively impede the quick and easy development and deployment of AI and analytics solutions necessary for businesses to thrive.
Despite these hurdles, businesses strive to find the right solutions to consume data efficiently, address immediate analytics problems, and unlock the full potential of AI and analytics in their operations. The cross-industry customers I work with consistently validate the difficulty of finding suitable technologies and tools for efficient data consumption across hybrid multi-cloud environments, as well as effectively leveraging that data for AI and analytics projects.
Moreover, customers express the urgency of solving real data analytics challenges without the luxury of waiting for technology maturity or cost reductions. What they need is a solution that makes it easier to fully realize the potential of AI and analytics by integrating them throughout their entire business.
Next-generation analytics software
That’s why HPE developed HPE Ezmeral Unified Analytics Software, the next generation of analytics software for the enterprise. The software is our secure, fully managed, open source, software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution for end-to-end data analytics by providing curated, enterprise-supported versions of the most popular, best-of-breed open-source analytics tools. These tools include Apache Airflow, Apache Livy, Apache Spark, Apache Superset, Feast, Kubeflow, MLflow, Presto SQL and Ray.
Designed to help maximize productivity by removing IT bottlenecks, the HPE solution removes the complexity, so users don’t have to setup, configure, and manage the underlying resources themselves. The solution provides self-service access to the software tools needed from data engineers to data scientists to data analysts so they can connect to and access data regardless of location and then quickly and easily build and deploy their AI and analytics applications across hybrid environments.
As shown in the illustration below, it also provides a consistent experience across environments, making it easier for users to collaborate across data analytic pipelines.
The solution is open and extensible, so if users prefer to use their own tools instead of using the ones that are bundled, it’s very easy for users to add custom applications, open-source applications, or third-party ISV solutions. It’s also easy to add new locations, data types, and sources as needs evolve.
HPE Ezmeral Unified Analytics Software provides enterprise-grade security that includes zero-trust authentication, single sign-on, app-level isolation, user, application, and data access controls, and observability, tracking, monitoring, and logging capabilities to ensure apps are always secure and functioning at their peak levels.
Another key benefit is it’s hybrid by design, which means you can run it at business edges, on premises, or in public clouds.
With the completely new UI design we’ve made it simpler and more intuitive for a consistent point and click user experience. Additionally, the UI eliminates surprise charges with a trackable dashboard experience to manage cost and budgets. As you can see in the illustration below, the dashboard provides users with recent access details, resource utilization, plus toolkit usage and consumption metrics making it easy to see the monthly spend across environments.
What this means for you and your enterprise
Our HPE Ezmeral Software solution is specifically designed to meet the needs of distributed businesses seeking to develop and deploy AI and analytic insights across their entire enterprise. However, I firmly believe that the most valuable insights come directly from our customers themselves.
Here is some recent feedback from a couple of our early adopters, sharing their successful experiences with our software.
SmarTone, a leading telecommunications provider in Hong Kong, was exploring the use of machine learning to build flexible data models and analyze data patterns. They were looking to standardize on an open-source based ML platform to improve the productivity of their data scientists.
“With the data and analytics tools in the HPE Ezmeral Software, we are able to standardize on an open-source tools set that supports every part of the machine learning lifecycle from experimentation to production to help our engineers to be more productive.” — Kai Tsang, Lead Data Scientist
Carestream Health, a global healthcare company, provides AI-driven software to help improve patient care by enhancing the medical images used for diagnosis. Their solution spans business edges (hospitals), a centralized data center, and public clouds. They were able to speed up their AI model development training runs allowing them to drastically improve the sophisticated proprietary algorithms applied in their imaging software to deliver clinical value and improve diagnosis accuracy and clinician productivity.
“Our mission is to provide radiologists with as much insight as possible from medical imaging so they can make confident, effective patient diagnoses. Using the fully managed, open-source machine learning tools within the HPE Ezmeral Software, we have implemented an AI-as-a-service platform that has led to a 73% reduction in time to train our machine learning models.”— John Kopcienski, director, Rochester R&D Center, Carestream
