Eviden is a leading technology company specialising in data-driven digital transformation. An AWS premier partner company, Eviden holds numerous worldwide patents and has strong positions in various technological fields like advanced computing, AI, cloud, and digital platforms. It operates in over 47 countries and comprises 47,000 skilled professionals.
The company is committed to nurturing the next generation of cloud-centred talent. It believes hands-on training is essential, and hence offers Immersion Days, Gamedays, and AWS DeepRacer opportunities. AWS DeepRacer involves users training models on AWS Cloud and then racing them on a virtual track. This grants learners valuable experience in cloud-centred technologies and machine learning.
Eviden adopted the open-source AWS DeepRacer Event Manager (DREM) solution to streamline the management of their AWS DeepRacer series. DREM allowed Eviden to host in-person AWS DeepRacer events, contributing to an engaging and immersive experience for participants and spectators alike. DREM was implemented within Eviden’s AWS environment, simplifying the process of hosting AWS DeepRacer events across global locations.
Racers participating in the event are encouraged to upload their AWS DeepRacer models using DREM. The system verifies the models, ensuring safety and engagement for the competition. On the other hand, the DREM solution streamlines many tasks for event management teams, including user management, model uploading, and naming conventions, among others.
The DREM solution also adds depth to the spectator’s experience, as the technology’s integrated streaming overlay and leaderboard features keep them updated on the event’s progress. DREM also provides critical timing information and race positions in real-time, enhancing the overall spectator experience.
The DREM solution is well-architected, designed with a clear focus on enhanced security and efficiency, with a summary of exceptional feedback from the participants. The whole system operates on AWS Cloud-centred technologies, providing inherent performance efficiency and reliability.
Exploring AWS DeepRacer Event Manager and integrating it into your systems can significantly transform your event management process, delivering an engaging experience for participants. The DREM solution is cost-effective, scalable, and runs efficiently even in non-event periods, making it an ideal choice for managing AWS DeepRacer events. With Eviden’s initiative in enhancing the event management process using DREM, AWS DeepRacer now offers a more enthralling experience for all participants.
