HPE unveils new AI factory solutions powered by Nvidia

HPE has announced new solutions to supercharge the creation, adoption and management of AI factories across the entire AI lifecycle and for every type of organization. HPE is expanding its NVIDIA AI Computing by HPE portfolio of AI factory solutions with NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs, including new composable solutions optimized for service providers, model builders and sovereign entities, as well as the next generation of HPE Private Cloud AI, the turnkey AI factory for enterprises. The integrated end-to-end solutions and services for AI factories remove the complexity of customers having to compile a full AI tech stack on their own when building a modern AI-ready data center. 

“Generative, agentic and physical AI have the potential to transform global productivity and create lasting societal change, but AI is only as good as the infrastructure and data behind it. Organizations need the data, intelligence and vision to capture the AI opportunity and this makes getting the right IT foundation essential,” said Antonio Neri, president and CEO, at HPE. “HPE and NVIDIA are delivering the most comprehensive approach, joining industry-leading AI infrastructure and services to enable organizations to realize their ambitions and deliver sustainable business value.” 

“We are entering a new industrial era — one defined by the ability to generate intelligence at scale,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “Together, HPE and NVIDIA are delivering full-stack AI factory infrastructure to drive this transformation, empowering enterprises to harness their data and accelerate innovation with unprecedented speed and precision.”

The signature offering in the NVIDIA AI Computing by HPE portfolio, Private Cloud AI is a fully integrated turnkey AI factory offering with NVIDIA accelerated computing, networking and software. Private Cloud AI will provide:

·  Support for NVIDIA Blackwell accelerated computing with HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 servers. These servers rank #1 in over 23 AI tests and provide secure enclaves to prevent tampering, as well as post-quantum cryptography and trusted supply chain capabilities at rack and server level.

·  Investment protection and seamless scalability from one GPU generation to the next, including NVIDIA H200 NVL and now with NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Server Edition GPUs, to support a wide range of enterprise AI workloads including agentic and physical AI use cases. A new federated architecture unifies resource pooling to make new GPUs and resources available to all AI workloads.

·  Air-gapped management for organizations with strict data privacy requirements.

·  Multi-tenancy that enables enterprises to collaborate and partition resources across teams.

·  The latest NVIDIA AI Blueprints including the NVIDIA AI-Q Blueprint for AI agent creation and workflows.

·  A new “try and buy” program that lets customers test Private Cloud AI across Equinix’s global footprint of high-performance data centers before making a purchase.

HPE expands AI factory portfolio with new validated solutions

New AI factory solutions combine the latest AI innovations and expertise from HPE, including five decades of industry-leading liquid cooling and HPE Morpheus Enterprise Software for a unified control plane. Unlike most competing solutions, these validated, end-to-end composable solutions are modular, full tech stacks integrated ahead of time for the customer, speeding time to value.

By leveraging the NVIDIA Enterprise AI Factory validated design, AI factory solutions from HPE can be deployed using the latest NVIDIA accelerated computing, NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet networking, NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPUs, and NVIDIA AI Enterprise software to ensure high performance, robust security, efficient storage acceleration, and scalable infrastructure for the next era of AI.

HPE Compute XD690 joins NVIDIA AI Computing by HPE portfolio

New HPE Compute XD690 supports eight NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPUs and reflects HPE’s continued commitment to be a time-to-market leader with NVIDIA’s latest innovations in accelerated computing for AI. HPE Performance Cluster Manager delivers fully integrated systems management and advanced infrastructure monitoring and alerting across large, complex AI environments that scale thousands of nodes.

HPE Alletra Storage MP X10000

To ensure AI factories and applications are continuously fueled with AI-ready unstructured data, HPE Alletra Storage MP X10000 will support Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. Integrating MCP with the X10000’s built-in data intelligence accelerates data pipelines and enables AI factories, applications, and agents to process and act on intelligent unstructured data. Additionally, the X10000 supports the NVIDIA AI Data Platform reference design and offers an SDK to streamline unstructured data pipelines for ingestion, inferencing, training and continuous learning

HPE Private Cloud AI and Accenture AI Refinery

HPE and Accenture are collaborating to create agentic AI solutions for financial services and procurement with a new joint go-to-market offering that leverages the Accenture AI Refinery platform, which is built on NVIDIA AI Enterprise, and deployed on HPE Private Cloud AI. HPE is applying the solution within its finance organization, exploring uses across category and sourcing strategies, spend management, strategic relationship analysis and contract obligation management. Together, the companies aim to help spur AI adoption and digital innovation in one of the most tightly regulated industries.

HPE Services accelerate and simplify AI journey

HPE eases the burden of building and adopting AI factories and speeds time to value through new services that assist customers on their AI journey. The new services span designing, financing, building and securing AI factories from Day -1 to Day 2+ with a focus on operating efficiently and sustainably. The services also cover model development and migration, business benefit analysis, deployment, education, management, ongoing support and tech refreshes.

HPE Financial Services enables enterprises to start their AI journey faster

HPE Financial Services (HPEFS) offers a new program that helps enterprises begin their AI projects sooner with lower payments for Private Cloud AI for the first six months. HPEFS also offers a comprehensive suite of customizable financing and IT lifecycle services to help accelerate the move to AI, including a program that allows customers to use their current tech estate as a source of capital to fund additional AI projects.
