Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Nvidia have announced an expanded partnership to accelerate enterprise artificial intelligence adoption through new modular infrastructure and turnkey AI platform offerings.
The companies revealed their collaboration at HPE Discover in Las Vegas, introducing "AI factory" solutions that combine Nvidia's computing hardware and software with HPE's servers, storage and services.
"Generative, agentic and physical AI have the potential to transform global productivity and create lasting societal change," HPE CEO Antonio Neri said in a statement, "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. 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."
The new lineup includes HPE's AI-ready RTX PRO Servers and an updated version of HPE Private Cloud AI, a turnkey AI platform co-engineered with Nvidia. The companies said the goal is to provide enterprises with a framework to build and scale generative, agentic and industrial AI applications.
"We are entering a new industrial era," said Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, "one defined by the ability to generate intelligence at scale. 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."
New Hardware and Platform Integration
The NVIDIA AI Computing by HPE portfolio now includes Nvidia Blackwell accelerated computing, Spectrum-X Ethernet and BlueField-3 networking technologies, combined with Nvidia AI Enterprise software and HPE's full range of infrastructure products.
HPE's new ProLiant Compute DL380a Gen12 servers will feature Nvidia's NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs. The RTX PRO Servers are designed as a universal data center platform for enterprise and industrial AI use cases and are available to order from HPE.
The next-generation HPE Private Cloud AI platform includes Nvidia AI Blueprints, including the AI-Q Blueprint for AI agent creation and workflows. HPE said the solution is validated as part of Nvidia's Enterprise AI Factory framework.
HPE also announced a new Nvidia HGX B300 system, the HPE Compute XD690, built with Nvidia Blackwell Ultra GPUs. The system is expected to ship in October.
HPE said it is adding 26 new partners to its "Unleash AI" ecosystem and now offers more than 70 packaged AI workloads spanning fraud detection, video analytics, sovereign AI and cybersecurity applications.
Security and Testing Programs
The updated HPE Private Cloud AI platform supports air-gapped management, multi-tenancy and post-quantum cryptography features. HPE offers a try-before-you-buy program that allows customers to test systems in Equinix data centers before purchasing.
The company also introduced AI Acceleration Workshops conducted with Nvidia to help enterprise organizations scale AI deployments.
