Algorithmia,
a leader in ML Operations & Management, announces a series of
upgrades to its Enterprise product. The platform changes are highlighted
by advanced security options that enable customers to operate
Algorithmia in highly controlled and restrictive environments, including
AWS C2S and AWS GovCloud. The new version of Algorithmia Enterprise
also includes support for the latest AWS and Azure GPU hardware, user
local debugging improvements, and integration to PyCharm.
Machine
learning has the most impact on a company's core applications, which
live behind a firewall in regulated industries like financial services,
insurance, healthcare and laboratory sciences. For ML systems to serve
those industries, integration to core security systems and compliance
with policies and processes is a requirement. Algorithmia's updated
Enterprise product addresses this with support for air-gapped
deployment, C2S, GovCloud and VMWare, authenticated proxies,
customer-provided and hardened OS images, private Docker hub, private
dependency mirrors, and private certificate authorities.
"Large
enterprises in regulated industries have stringent requirements around
all aspects of their software development lifecycles," said Diego
Oppenheimer, CEO at Algorithmia. "Many of these companies want to
leverage machine learning and artificial intelligence to improve
business outcomes, but current MLOps platforms don't offer the features
and integrations to support these requirements. Algorithmia Enterprise
allows customers to control the provenance of all components of ML
operations, including certificate authorities, operating system,
container images, code, dependencies and ML models used in their ML
enabled applications."
"Deploying
machine learning models in production applications is no small task,
and it's further complicated for organizations, like ours, that operate
in highly regulated industries," said Shane Zabel, PhD, Artificial
Intelligence Technology Director at Raytheon Intelligence & Space.
"Algorithmia has helped by combining technology and expertise that
allows us to deploy ML-based applications quickly and easily while
prioritizing security and compliance with government standards."
The
updated version of Algorithmia Enterprise also includes support for the
latest GPU hardware. "Organizations today are utilizing advanced ML
models that require more memory and GPU performance, while driving down
costs, and new hardware is being created specifically to meet the needs
of these models," says Oppenheimer. "This update addresses our ability
to support the latest hardware per our customers' requirements."
Finally,
Algorithmia extends the benefits of modern software development
lifecycle practices, and by enabling local debugging in the developers
desktop tools they use to develop in today. By extending this experience
locally, Algorithmia will enable users to write and run local tests for
algorithms, pass local data files as input to their algorithms, and
integrate with leading development environments like PyCharm.
Integration to tools like PyCharm allows developers and data scientists
to use tools of their choice, develop faster with fewer defects.
Algorithmia integrates with various developer tools already such as
Jupyter Notebooks, R Shiny, Android, IOS, Cloudinary, Datarobot and H2O.AI.
The new version of Algorithmia Enterprise is available now.
