By Michael Corrado, Worldwide Marketing, HPE Private Cloud AI
Today, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) is introducing the next generation of its AI platform. HPE Private Cloud AI, co-developed with NVIDIA, is the signature offering in the NVIDIA AI Computing by HPE portfolio, providing a turnkey AI factory solution designed to empower businesses to meet modern AI demands and capitalize on the potential of agentic AI. This new generation brings NVIDIA Blackwell accelerated computing technologies, new security and usability features, groundbreaking scalability, and innovative AI use cases, enabling customers to harness the power of AI more effectively and efficiently.
Agentic AI: A leap toward independence and automation
The new generation of HPE Private Cloud AI is designed specifically to support the profitability and reliability of agentic and physical AI workloads. Unlike earlier forms of generative AI, which require significant human oversight, agentic AI systems are capable of operating more independently, making decisions in real time and driving automation to new levels. The HPE Private Cloud AI platform helps businesses adopt these advanced technologies with confidence, thanks to its combination of cutting-edge performance, security, and scalability.
Next-generation performance with NVIDIA Blackwell
All new scalable hardware configurations with HPE ProLiant Gen12 compute integrated with the latest NVIDIA accelerated computing introduce performance, sustainability and security improvements across your entire AI estate. These configurations can deliver more than 2x GPU acceleration without compromising power efficiency. The new, more secure platform boasts award-winning security features, including FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certification, NIST, and CNSA 2.0 quantum resistance. New configurations come with NVIDIA H200 NVL or the latest NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs, which can now be ordered with HPE ProLiant Gen12 servers . These advanced NVIDIA GPUs enable large AI models such as GPT-3 and Llama 2 to run entirely within GPU memory, eliminating bottlenecks caused by slower system memory. This results in faster processing, higher throughput, and smoother operations for businesses managing complex AI tasks.
Enhanced data center density and sustainability
HPE Private Cloud AI delivers more performance and sustainability with 41% higher performance per watt compared to Gen10. The platform supports up to 26:1 data center consolidation and achieves up to 84% power savings, making it an ideal choice for enterprises looking to optimize their energy consumption and reduce their carbon footprint.
Future-ready scalability with next-gen expansion racks
The platform now offers seamless scalability with modular expansion racks and a software-driven federated architecture, allowing enterprises to extend their deployments with more compute and next-gen accelerated computing effortlessly. The unified resource pooling feature integrates added AI-accelerated compute into a shared pool, making the now-expanded environment instantly available to all AI workloads, simplifying operations and improving performance. This enables enterprises to keep pace with innovation and manage projects, data, and external repositories through a single control pane.
Achieve data sovereignty with a new fully air-gapped option
Ideal for industries with strict regulatory or sovereignty requirements, such as government, healthcare, and finance, HPE Private Cloud AI now offers a fully air-gapped version of all our production solution sizes, protecting sensitive data by eliminating exposure to external networks. Operating independently of external connectivity ensures uninterrupted service, making it a reliable and resilient solution for any high-security environment looking to innovate with less risk.
Enterprise multi-tenancy empowers collaboration
HPE Private Cloud AI's enterprise multi-tenancy feature allows multiple users to collaborate on projects while maintaining control of roles and permissions. Enterprises can specify data source access based on the project and set GPU quota capabilities, empowering teams to work together more effectively and securely.
Expanded ecosystem of proven AI use cases
The HPE Unleash AI Partner program has expanded, enabling enterprises to rapidly deploy dozens of pre-validated AI use cases for faster ROI and reduced risk. The program now includes pre-validated AI applications from some of the industry’s most powerful AI software providers and will continue to grow to support HPE’s philosophy of customer centricity and choice.
In addition to our growing ecosystem of ISV partners, HPE Private Cloud AI has been optimized to support rapid deployment and management of more than 75 use cases, including AI agents for enterprise research, digital human, fraud detection, video search and summarization, enterprise RAG, and more.
Try & Buy Program at Equinix
To make adoption even more accessible, HPE is launching the HPE Private Cloud AI Try & Buy program at Equinix. This hosted trial initiative allows customers to experience the full-stack AI platform and infrastructure in real-world conditions for six to eight weeks. After the trial, customers can purchase the same hardware used during the program, optimizing performance, connectivity, and scalability, all under a single HPE contract and invoice.
HPE Private Cloud AI and Accenture AI Refinery simplify agentic AI for financial services
HPE and NVIDIA’s dedication to reliability and user profitability has led numerous system integrators to adopt HPE Private Cloud AI. And we are pleased to announce that 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, built on NVIDIA Enterprise AI, and HPE Private Cloud AI.
As the first customer, HPE is applying the procurement 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.
Driving the future of enterprise AI
These updates and enhancements to HPE Private Cloud AI and its ecosystem of use cases and partners demonstrate HPE’s commitment to providing enterprises with the tools they need to leverage NVIDIA AI for innovation and growth while improving profitability and reducing risk. With unmatched performance, seamless scalability, and expanded use-case support, HPE Private Cloud AI is more than a platform: It’s the foundation for enterprise AI success.
