Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE: HPE) and NVIDIA have introduced a new portfolio, NVIDIA AI Computing by HPE, aimed at accelerating the adoption of generative AI in enterprises. The announcement was made during the HPE Discover 2024 event.

The key offering within this portfolio is HPE Private Cloud AI, which integrates NVIDIA's AI computing, networking, and software with HPE’s storage, compute, and GreenLake cloud services. This solution aims to provide an energy-efficient and flexible path for developing and deploying generative AI applications. It includes a self-service cloud experience with full lifecycle management and comes in four configurations to support various AI workloads.

The offerings will be available through a joint go-to-market strategy involving sales teams, channel partners, training programs, and a global network of system integrators such as Deloitte, HCLTech, Infosys, TCS, and Wipro. These integrators will assist enterprises across different industries in managing complex AI workloads.

HPE President and CEO Antonio Neri emphasized the importance of simplifying the adoption of generative AI for enterprises. “Generative AI holds immense potential for enterprise transformation,” Neri said. He noted that fragmented AI technology poses risks that can hamper large-scale adoption. Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA, highlighted the integration between NVIDIA’s technologies and HPE’s private cloud technology as essential for equipping enterprise clients with advanced computing infrastructure.

HPE Private Cloud AI offers support for inference, fine-tuning RAG AI workloads using proprietary data while ensuring data privacy, security, transparency, and governance requirements are met. The curated software stack includes the NVIDIA AI Enterprise platform with its NIM inference microservices designed to streamline development from prototype to deployment.

The integrated infrastructure also features NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet networking alongside HPE GreenLake for File Storage and ProLiant servers supporting various NVIDIA GPUs including L40S and GH200 NVL2 platforms.

Additionally, OpsRamp's IT operations are integrated with HPE GreenLake cloud to provide observability across hybrid environments. This includes monitoring capabilities for NVIDIA's accelerated computing stack. The new OpsRamp operations copilot uses NVIDIA’s platform to analyze datasets via a conversational assistant aimed at boosting productivity.

Global system integrators like Deloitte have announced their support for this portfolio as part of their strategic solutions. Furthermore, HPE has added support for NVIDIA's latest GPUs including those suited for large language model (LLM) builders and consumers.

HPE Private Cloud AI is expected to be generally available in the fall along with specific server models equipped with NVIDIA GPUs.
