HPE and NVIDIA Debut New “AI Factory” Portfolio at HPE Discover, Las Vegas

HPE’s AI-Ready RTX PRO Servers

  • Based on HPE ProLiant Compute DL380a Gen12, these servers are now available with NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs.

  • Benchmarks show top-of-class performance in over 23 AI tests on Gen12 servers.

  • Ideal for a broad spectrum of AI workloads—from generative and agentic to industrial AI.

Next-Gen HPE Private Cloud AI (Turnkey Platform)

Co-engineered with NVIDIA and validated under the NVIDIA Enterprise AI Factory framework, this fully integrated AI factory solution offers:

  • Seamless scalability between GPU generations (H200 NVL and RTX PRO 6000).

  • Enterprise-grade security, including air-gapped management, multi-tenancy, post-quantum cryptography, and secure enclaves.

  • NVIDIA AI Blueprints such as the AI-Q Blueprint for agent-based workflows.

  • A “Try‑before‑you‑buy” pilot in Equinix data centers for prospective buyers.

Modular AI Factory Infrastructure & Networking

  • Combines NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs, Spectrum‑X Ethernet, BlueField‑3 DPUs, and NVIDIA AI Enterprise software with HPE’s servers, storage, services, and software.

  • Integrated observability via HPE OpsRamp, and orchestration through HPE Morpheus.

  • Utilizes liquid cooling and direct-to-chip cooling to manage the power density of Blackwell GPUs.

New High-Density Compute: HPE Compute XD690

  • Featuring eight NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPUs (for example, HGX‑style B300 configuration).

  • Optimized for hyperscaler-level use cases and available October 2025.

Data‑Ready Storage: HPE Alletra Storage MP X10000

  • Integrated Model Context Protocol (MCP) for seamless ingestion and organization of unstructured AI data—supporting NVIDIA AI Data Platform design.

  • SDK provided for efficient data pipeline management.

Expanded Ecosystem & Partnerships

  • 26 new partners added to “Unleash AI” ecosystem, bringing total use-case packages to over 70, spanning fraud detection, sovereign AI, cybersecurity, video analytics, and industrial automation.

  • KDDI & HPE collaborating on Osaka’s AI data center (GB200 NVL72 on Grace Blackwell architecture), launching in early 2026.

  • HPE & Accenture co-developing financial services workflows using Accenture’s AI Refinery on Private Cloud AI—covering sourcing, procurement, risk analysis, contract management.

Security, Governance & Financing

  • Support for air-gapped management, multi-tenancy, secure enclaves, and post-quantum cryptography.

  • Flexible financing by HPEFS, including deferred payments and use of existing assets as trade‑in for AI factory investments.

  • New services include AI Acceleration Workshops, advisory, design, deployment, training, migration, technology refresh, and sustainability support.
