Then we will look at two scenarios in which deep learning can be used to enhance human capabilities. The book will also demonstrate how to evaluate your models' performance to ensure it trains and runs smoothly and gives you the most accurate results. Finally, you will get a short overview of how Cognitive Toolkit fits in to a DevOps environment What you will learn * Set up your deep learning environment for the Cognitive Toolkit on Windows and Linux * Pre-process and feed your data into neural networks * Use neural networks to make effcient predictions and recommendations * Train and deploy effcient neural networks such as CNN and RNN * Detect problems in your neural network using TensorBoard * Integrate Cognitive Toolkit with Azure ML Services for effective deep learning Who this book is for Data Scientists, Machine learning developers, AI developers who wish to train and deploy effective deep learning models using Microsoft CNTK will find this book to be useful. Readers need to have experience in Python or similar object-oriented language like C# or Java.

Design a virtualized data center with VMware vSphere 6.7 Key Features * Get the first book on the market that helps you design a virtualized data center with VMware vSphere 6.7 * Learn how to create professional vSphere design documentation to ensure a successful implementation * A practical guide that will help you apply infrastructure design principles to vSphere design Book Description VMware is the industry leader in data center virtualization. The vSphere 6.x suite of products provides a robust and resilient platform to virtualize server and application workloads. This book uses proven infrastructure design principles and applies them to VMware vSphere 6.7 virtual data center design through short and focused recipes on each design aspect. The second edition of this book focused on vSphere 6.0. vSphere features released since then necessitate an updated design guide, which includes recipes for upgrading to 6.7, vCenter HA; operational improvements; cutting-edge, high-performance storage access such as RDMA and Pmem; security features such as encrypted vMotion and VM-level encryption; Proactive HA; HA Orchestrated Restart; Predictive DRS; and more. By the end of the book, you will be able to achieve enhanced compute, storage, network, and management capabilities for your virtual data center. What you will learn * Identify key factors related to a vSphere design * Mitigate security risks and meet compliance requirements in a vSphere design * Create a vSphere conceptual design by identifying technical and business requirements * Design for performance, availability, recoverability, manageability, and security * Map the logical resource design into the physical vSphere design * Create professional vSphere design documentation Who this book is for If you are an administrator or consultant interested in designing virtualized data center environments using VMware vSphere 6.x (or previous versions of vSphere and the supporting components), this book is for you.
