Machine Learning with H2O - the Benefits of VMware - Virtualize Applications

This brief article introduces a short 4.5 minute video that explains the reasons why VMware vSphere is a great platform for data scientists/engineers to use as their base operating platform. The video then demonstrates an example of this, showing a data scientist conducting a modeling experiment with an input set of data, while using the Driverless AI tool from H2O.ai to do the data analysis and model training, all in VMs. The key idea here is that the world of machine learning/data science is rapidly changing, with new, powerful tools, platforms and versions appearing and upgrading at a very fast pace. The tool vendors are racing to innovate here and producing new workbenches for the both the expert and the novice in the field. Data scientists and data engineers (who organize and cleanse the data first) want to be able to try out these new tools and updated versions of the tools while keeping a stable environment for their existing production deployments.
