Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) announced the availability of HPE Haven OnDemand (HoD) Combinations, a new cloud-based offering built on the HPE Haven OnDemand platform that enables developers to apply the power of machine learning to build next generation applications.

The new offering provides a pre-built catalogue of cognitive services and an intuitive drag and drop interface. Developers can chain together multiple machine learning APIs into combinations and copy and paste the code directly into their development projects, to quickly and easily create breakthrough mobile and enterprise applications.

"HPE HoD Combinations represents the next step in our vision to democratize machine learning for mainstream developers and help them build the next generation of cognitive applications," said Fernando Lucini, CTO, Big Data Platform, HPE Software. "Through HPE HoD Combinations, enterprise developers now have access to the building blocks required to take their application development to the next level through an easy and intuitive solution."

HoD Combinations provides the tools required for developers and data scientists to focus on building modern, data-rich applications that can help their companies excel in the marketplace.

HOD Combinations provides several new capabilities:

- Simplified Coding and Improved Performance - reduces complex code to a single API call that supports unlimited transformations, parallel processing, and reduced latency as a result of fewer API calls

- Simple Drag and Drop Graphical UI - enables developers to chain any number of HPE Haven OnDemand's more than 70 APIs to create, test and publish new services in minutes.

- Publish and Reuse - Custom combinations are securely published to the organization account for reuse and augmentation.

- Developer and Commercial versions - developers can build new combinations for prototype apps free of charge simply by signing up for a Freemium account on https://havenondemand.com(link is external) while paying customers benefit from increased quotas and enterprise grade service level assurance.

- Delivered via the Microsoft Azure Cloud platform - HPE Haven OnDemand Combinations is hosted in the Microsoft Azure cloud, ensuring mission critical performance, reliability, security and scale.

- Emphasis on Machine Learning Innovation - facilitates the development of new services and applications with only a few lines of code to harness the power of machine learning.

Since commercial availability of HPE Haven OnDemand in March 2016 and delivered as a service on Microsoft Azure, HPE Haven OnDemand now offers more than 70 machine learning APIs today. HPE Haven OnDemand has more than 18,000 engaged users ranging from solo software architects and data scientists to enterprises with large development teams. The platform has enabled customers to build thousands of applications globally, resulting in millions of API calls each month, and is continuing to win over the marketplace and build an ecosystem of partners and customers that grows every day.

HPE Haven OnDemand Combinations is available for early access by request worldwide and will be generally available during HPE's fiscal Q4, 2016.
