Data science teams and in-house developers can now explore and solve the most complex data problems in a packaged, easy to deploy, open data science stack.

"Anaconda started out as a dream by scientists in academia and now, with a community of more than 2 million, the dream is being realized," said Travis Oliphant, Continuum Analytics CEO and co-founder. "Anaconda, together with other open source technologies such as Jupyter, Cloudera, Spark, and R, is making a dent in business and scientific challenges to help our quickly expanding community to solve real world problems with big data analytics."

The new Anaconda release is the only modern analytics platform powered by Python. Unlike other data science analytics platforms, it offers easy GPU and multi-core integration, scalable browser based visualization provided by data shading, and a framework that insulates your organization from back-end changes and allows you to write data and analytic queries once and deploy anywhere. This ease of use is essential for data science teams wishing to quickly collaborate on large, sophisticated projects.
