Data Analytics | Greenplum integration with vSphere | VMware Tanzu Greenplum is a massively parallel processing (MPP) data platform, based on the open-source Greenplum Database project, designed to run the full gamut of analytical workloads from business intelligence (BI) to artificial intelligence (AI). Enterprise data lives and grows throughout an organization, and it is suboptimal to copy large data sets between different systems because they aren’t able to perform fast enough, scale high enough or offer the right features. Tanzu Greenplum brings compute to where the data lives. | VMworld 2020 Sessions https://www.vmworld.com/en/video-library/video-landing.html?sessionid=1586467547979001ehEa https://www.vmworld.com/en/video-library/video-landing.html?sessionid=1589580297282001SUMh Blogs: https://tanzu.vmware.com/content/blog/analytic-workloads-bi-ai-vmware-tanzu-greenplum | SC2 | 2020 Q3 | Completed | Domino Valdano Frank McQuillan |
Machine Learning | Data for Good (Part of the VMware Tech for Good Initiative.) | Nonprofits and NGOs have accumulated tremendous amount of data over the past decades. Their data has great potential to solve many of the world’s most pressing problems. These organizations lack the compute & storage capacity along the technology to analyze the data that they have accumulated many of the world’s pressing problems. vSphere is a great hybrid platform for data analytics with its support for high performance networking and accelerators like GPU. VMware Solutions Lab has a robust hybrid cloud infrastructure for high performance data analytics, which it will make available and free to use for nonprofits. Common data analytics problems (Kaggle Competitions) will be validated to run well in the lab infrastructure. VMware vMLP platform would be leveraged for this project. | Video: In Progress | SC2 | 2020 Q4 | Completed | |
Machine Learning | Apache Spark 3 with NVIDIA GPU based analytics | Apache Spark is an open source project that has achieved wide popularity in the analytical space. It is used by well-known big data and machine learning workloads such as streaming, processing wide array of datasets, and ETL, to name a few. Kubernetes is now a native option for Spark resource manager. By packaging Spark application as a container, you can reap the benefits of containers because you package your dependencies along with your application as a single entity. Given the “embarrassingly parallel” nature of many data processing tasks, GPUs can be of tremendous benefit. This project will combine VMware Tanzu, Apache Spark and NVIDIA GPU capabilities to showcase accelerated Apache Spark 3.0. | Video: https://youtu.be/EK2YqcjKkgc | SC2 | 2020 Q4 | Completed | |
