Hewlett Packard Enterprise Powers Machine Learning Apps, Revs Vertica Database

Vertica release improves performance, adds Hadoop and Spark support. Hewlett Packard Enterprise announced August 30 at its HPE Big Data Conference in Boston that it's making its library of machine learning services easier for developers to build into smart, "cognitive" applications through Haven OnDemand Combinations. In a second announcement at the event, HPE unveiled Vertica 8.0, the next release of the company's high-scale analytical database. Haven OnDemand is in the white-hot category of machine learning services. It's a domain that has seen dozens of acquisitions in recent years, led by leading tech companies including Amazon, Google, IBM, Intel, Microsoft and Salesforce. How will HPE differentiate Haven OnDemand as the big public cloud companies deepen their portfolios?
