SAS provided their business audience with industry and academic perspectives on deriving value from AI, and then related it specifically to best practices that organizations can use to make it part of their business strategy.
Until now, Teridion has sold an Internet acceleration service to SaaS providers, and sold it mainly direct, but now they are launching a Cloud-based WAN service that will go entirely through partners, and has created a new channel program to support them.
Kaspersky Web Traffic Security is a complete rewrite of the code base of the prior application in the Kaspersky Security for Internet Gateway, which adds additional security engines and the latest machine learning and deep learning technologies.
Sophos supplements their Intercept X Advanced deep learning offering with EDR investigation and response capability, designed to save larger companies with SOCs time with EDR that is relatively easy to use, while giving partners downmarket access to the technology, particularly through MSPs. It is now in the early access stage.
NVIDIA’s strong channel focus ensures that this joint offering with DDN will be completely channel-centric, although the number of partners certified on the NVIDIA DGX-1 and with DDN is fairly limited at this point.
At their C3 partner event this week, NetApp exhorted partners to ramp up their efforts to sell NetApp’s new HCI offering based on Solidfire technology, while not letting up on their FlexPod CI activities.
Sophos integrates its email solution with their Sophos Central cloud platform, and with their Synchronized Security cross-product collaboration capabilities are able to bring their deep learning functionality to their email.
Sophos also introduced Project Darwin, their initiative to integrate the machine learning technology they acquired with Invincea last year, and which has been limited to their Intercept X solution, into their broader Synchronized Security offering.
AIRI Mini is a joint engineering initiative between Pure and NVIDIA that provides an AI-focused solution with much less compute capability than AIRI, announced in March. It thus has a much lower entry point, and the companies think it will lead to strong interactions between infrastructure teams and data scientists.
A jointly engineered ‘AI-in-a-Box,’ AIRI allows customers to cut simulation training time by 4x, in a much tinier footprint than it took before.
Technology from last year’s Invincea acquisition by Sophos gives Intercept X massively scalable machine learning, which far exceeds the number of data sets machine learning has traditionally processed.
Avaya was already partnered with Spoken, but the acquisition will allow broaden application of their technology throughout Avaya’s portfolio, to enable customers to transform their business models.
Almost everything announced at AWS re:Invent this year was about machine learning in some way, but several new services — and a deep learning camera were highlighted.
Three new Dell EMC Ready bundles around machine learning and deep learning should both broaden the HPC market, and make it more channel-friendly.
