Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) deepened its AI partnership with Nvidia, unveiling an expansion of its AI factory portfolio to accelerate deployment across enterprises, service providers, and sovereign entities.
Announced during HPE’s annual Discover event in Las Vegas, the next-generation HPE Private Cloud AI is at the forefront of the expanded portfolio, a turnkey enterprise AI platform centred on agentic and generative AI (genAI).
The platform is built on Nvidia’s accelerated computing platform and integrates HPE’s latest ProLiant Gen12 servers. The company stated the platform delivers twice the performance of previous generations while reducing power consumption by up to 65 per cent.
Newly added modular expansion racks will also enable enterprises to scale infrastructure seamlessly regardless of compute architecture. In addition, the HPE Private Cloud AI system now supports dozens of pre-validated AI applications, from fraud detection and security operations to video summarisation and drug discovery.
The expanded offering includes support for Nvidia’s latest Blackwell B300 GPUs, in line with the companies’ joint commitment to deliver “time-to-market support” for each new platform. It also adds an expanded AI factory portfolio, including turnkey systems for enterprises, scalable platforms for model-builders and sovereign solutions for regulated sectors. HPE claimed the offering will simplify complex, large-scale AI deployments.
This latest initiative forms part of the Nvidia AI Computing by HPE programme, announced at last year’s Discover event. The companies said the updates reflect growing enterprise demand for scalable, secure AI infrastructure.
Indeed, Antonio Neri, HPE CEO, hailed the platform as one that “not only addresses the demands of today but also provides a clear roadmap for the future of AI”.
In further announcements, HPE highlighted the importance of full-stack AI observability, revealing that OpsRamp, a monitoring and IT operations platform it acquired in 2023, is now validated for Nvidia’s enterprise AI architecture.
In addition, the company also unveiled the Compute XD690 node supporting eight Nvidia Blackwell Ultra GPUs.
