H2O.ai Announces Availability of New Flow and Play Products at H2O World


MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. --(Business Wire)--

H2O.ai, the leading provider of machine learning and open source machine learning software, today announced the public availability of H2O.Flow and H2O.Play - two unique platforms which increase speed of implementation and data science workflow development. The new products were announced by CEO SriSatash Ambati before the largest gathering of H2O users, customers and its open source community, as he opened day two of the company's inaugural H2O World conference, held at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, Calif.

"Data is the clay for decision making, and we want to make your job easier, providing scale, speed and accuracy without data loss," Ambati tells the attendees. "With Flow and Play, we're fundamentally expanding the core population of users who can experience machine learning."

A Whole New Way of Managing Data Science WorkFLOWS

H2O.Flow is a web-based interactive computational environment where you can combine code execution, text, mathematics, plots and rich media into a single document, much like IPython Notebooks. Unlike traditional interactive computing environments output text, Flow utilizes a "hybrid" user interface that seamlessly blends a command-line shell with a modern point-and-click graphical user interface for every operation in H2O. Flow uniquely simplifies capturing, replaying, annotating, sharing and presentin analysis workflows and uses the bog-standard H2O REST API under the hood; so not only can you can access and manipulate raw H2O objects under the hood, you can also build custom GUI applications using H2O's REST API, right from within Flow.



On the Fly Deployment

H2O.Play presents the first private cloud instance for quickly deploying open source machine learning at petabyte scale that is completely agnostic of the underlying architecture. This allows possible to train predictive models with all of your data quickly and easily without the overhead of managing hardware and distributed systems. Play also comes preloaded with a range of algorithms, supporting actions across S3, HDFS and local data sets.
