Silicon Valley software company MapR Technologies has launched the MapR AI Edge Program. The AI accelerator program offers a free MapR enterprise license to NVIDIA Inception Startup members.

According to MapR, customers can now provide more impactful demos of their AI product by running GPUs anywhere and being able to take advantage of all of the features and capabilities built into MapR.

This free program to NVIDIA Inception Partners includes an enterprise license of MapR for all ML and AI products with no storage limitations for developing, testing, and demonstrating products.

MapR provides data protection, data security, data movement, and other data logistics, all while providing the data platform to build machine learning and AI-based products. This platform includes Distributed File and Object Storage (e.g., S3), a NoSQL JSON Document Database, and the Event Store for Apache Kafka for real-time needs.
