What is Databricks?
Azure Databricks is a central data processing, integration and data science platform. It provides a fully-managed cluster architecture, able to automatically provision and de-provision nodes as needed to execute activities developed in Python, R, SQL, Scala or Java. The service unifies data engineering and data science disciplines, including machine learning, enabling collaborative development practices and full task scheduling. Databricks protects data at every level with a unified security model featuring fine-grained controls, data encryption, identity management, rigorous auditing, and support for compliance standards. AI Consulting Group can launch expertly-tuned clusters with a few clicks, which are fully managed and automatically scale to your workload.
Why Data Science?
Data science is allowing organisations to unearth hidden patterns, trends, and useful insights to accelerate innovation. Organisations with large data sets, (especially transactional) have historically collected large data sets, but have found it difficult to transform them and generate insights. Data Science using Databricks is cost effective, simple, highly elastic, reliable and performant, putting Data Science within reach for organisations large and small. AI Consulting Group can help foster collaboration across our executives, data science and engineering teams to impact innovation and productivity today!
