HPE acquires Pachyderm as looks to bolster its AI dev offerings

Hewlett Packard Enterprise, the company better known as HPE, announced today that it acquired Pachyderm, a startup developing a data science platform for "explainable, repeatable" AI. The terms of the deal weren't disclosed nor was the purchase price. But HPE said that it plans to integrate Pachyderm's capabilities into a platform that'll deliver a pipeline for automatically preparing, tracking and managing machine learning processes. Pachyderm's software will remain available to current and new customers -- for now, at least. HPE says that the transaction isn't subject to any regulatory approvals and will likely close this month.
