During the 2018 Amazon Web Services re:Invent event, held Nov. 25th through Nov. 30th, Novetta participated in two cyber platform launches. The McLean, Va.- based analytics technology company assisted in the launch of the AWS Snowball Edge with a Graphic Processing Unit (GPU). Novetta was also a featured partner in the launch of the AWS Marketplace for Machine Learning on Nov. 28th.
The AWS Snowball Edge platform features on-board storage and power for select AWS capabilities. Each device can transport data at speeds faster than the internet by shipping data through a regional carrier. During the presentation at re:Invent, Novetta leveraged the Snowball Edge to triage digital media and identify high-priority documents and photos within minutes.
Novetta offerings for the AWS Marketplace include cutting-edge models and algorithms based on deep learning techniques for text classification, developed through Novetta™s Machine
Learning Center of Excellence. The company™s machine learning solutions enable customers to leverage pre-trained models or train their own with just a few hundred labeled documents. Rob Sheen, senior vice president of client operations, who attended his fifth AWS re:Invent, spoke with ExecutiveBiz on Thursday.
“This was my 5th re:Invent with Novetta and our best yet. It’s bigger and better every year,” said Sheen. “I’m extremely proud of Novetta’s Machine Learning Center of Excellence and on-site teams whose speed and agility quickly make them experts in newly released cloud services to which they immediately put to use for our customers missions.”
