As a result, companies are increasingly investing in the hardware, software, and services needed to gain actionable insights from their data. However, by 2020 half of organizations will lack sufficient AI and data literacy skills needed to extract business value from their data, and they are already demanding easier-to-implement, faster-to-deploy, and more cost-effective solutions for AI/ML and big data analytics. Today, HPE announced that they are acquiring BlueData, a leading provider of AI/ML and big data analytics infrastructure software, which will significantly expand their footprint in the rapidly growing artificial intelligence and big data analytics space. By seamlessly combining BlueData’s software platform with HPE’s existing software-defined infrastructure and services, we will be able to help customers accelerate their AI and big data transformations by providing an all-encompassing and easy-to-implement solution. With this turn-key solution, customers can potentially reduce their costs significantly and deliver faster time-to-insights from their data. Together, HPE and BlueData can help our customers harness the power of their data with a solution that makes it easier, faster, and more cost-effective to deploy AI/ML and big data analytics. | | | | | | NEW PRODUCT INTRODUCTIONS | | Learn about the latest HPE Product and Solution releases this month... all to help customers achieve true digital transformation! | | | | | | |
