Managing data science projects can be a nightmare
Tracking data science projects can be a nightmare. Making sense of a sea of experiments, models that are all scattered across multiple workstations with no sense of order, different software environments, and other complexities create ever more hurdles to making sense of your data. Then when you add in limited documentation availability plus the intricate interplay of the different technologies being leveraged it's no wonder that reproducing results becomes a tricky task. Fortunately, machine learning (ML) platforms are helping to automate and manage these complexities, leaving data scientists and data science managers to solve the real problem – getting value from the data.
Polyaxon makes developing models easier
Polyaxon is a platform for developing machine learning and deep learning models that can be used on an enterprise scale for all steps of the machine learning and deep learning model development process: building, training, and monitoring. Polyaxon accomplishes this by leveraging a built-in infrastructure, set of tools, trusted algorithms, and industry models, all of which lead to faster innovation. Polyaxon enables data scientists to easily develop and manage experiments and manages the entire workflow with smart containers and advanced scheduling. It is also language and framework agnostic, allowing data scientists to work with popular libraries and frameworks such as R, Python, SAS, Jupyter, RStudio, Tensorflow, and H2O.
Managing multiple data scientists and experiment artifacts
One feature that data scientist managers will find especially useful is Polyaxon’s ease of knowledge distribution. With fast onboarding of new team members and a documented and searchable knowledge base, any new hire can quickly pick up where others left off using each project's artifacts and history. Additionally, Polyaxon includes risk management capabilities and a built-in auto-documentation engine to remove risk and create a searchable knowledge base, avoiding the problem of laptop-centric and scattered scripts-oriented development.
For the executives of an organization, Polyaxon provides improved insights on model development and measuring time to market. By enabling a virtuous experimentation life cycle and giving data-driven feedback, all based on a centralized dashboard, Polyaxon optimizes and the time spent on projects. This means data science teams spend more time producing value, rather than trying to maintain infrastructure and documentation.
Deploying Polyaxon with Omnia
Omnia is an open‑source framework for deploying and managing high-performance clusters for HPC, AI, and data analytics workloads. Omnia not only automates the installation of Slurm and/or Kubernetes for managing your server infrastructure, it also deploys and configures many other packages and services necessary for running diverse workloads on the same converged solution. It also automates the deployment of ML platforms, like Polyaxon. This gives IT infrastructure teams the ability to quickly spin up and offer new capabilities to an organization’s data science and applications teams, giving them more time to do the company’s business.
Automation is key to any data-driven organization
The ability to automate the infrastructure stack, from the server, storage, and network resources up to the data science platforms that help you derive value from their data, is key to the success of modern data-driven organizations. Tools change quickly and frequently, and spending weeks deploying IT solutions for a company’s data science teams is time not spent finding critical value. Omnia simplifies the process of infrastructure deployment, allowing IT groups to get their data science teams up and running in minutes. What could be more transformative than that?
