HPE develops a secure, efficient, and reproducible AI architecture to facilitate its adoption by enterprises.

While core models are driving explosive growth in data centers, organizations face the challenge of running AI securely at the enterprise level. HPE, in collaboration with NVIDIA, is addressing this challenge by modernizing its secure AI solutions to deliver predictable and reproducible success in enterprise AI applications. HPE is expanding its AI Cloud, a fully integrated, ready-to-run enterprise AI factory developed in partnership with NVIDIA, to deliver higher performance, greater scalability, and more agile enterprise-level inference. Industry leaders such as Ryder Cup , Danfoss , and Dallas Cowboys are leveraging HPE's AI Cloud to accelerate their transformative AI initiatives.

• The new network expansion units enable the expansion of HPE's AI cloud solutions to up to 128 GPUs, enabling customers to run larger and more demanding AI workloads while maintaining a unified and consistent operating experience .

• To meet the growing demand for secure, fully isolated, or sovereign certification processes, HPE's AI cloud system is now available in a fully isolated configuration, ensuring that sensitive data is not exposed to external networks .

• HPE ProLiant Compute DL380a Gen12 servers and HPE AI cloud systems built on these servers are currently being certified for Fortanix Confidential AI , a joint solution based on NVIDIA Confidential Computing technology, enabling the adoption of AI models and the processing of sensitive data within organizations in a secure and non-risk manner .

• CrowdStrike provides automated security for the HPE AI cloud, delivering advanced AI-powered threat detection and response capabilities to protect infrastructure, models, and agents operating in enterprise environments, enabling them to run AI agents securely and at scale .

• HPE's AI Cloud provides a complete, pre-built hardware and software architecture, including the latest NVIDIA AI Enterprise software and blueprints, such as the updated NVIDIA AI-Q AI Agent Blueprint and the new NVIDIA Omniverse Digital Twin Blueprint. The latest version of the NVIDIA AI-Q Blueprint enables developers to build fully customizable AI agents with ownership, inspection, and control capabilities.

• HPE is committed to updating its AI cloud, HPE ProLiant servers, and AI factories to support the latest NVIDIA Nemotron open models, which are part of the NVIDIA Agent Toolkit , with the goal of simplifying the deployment of a secure, local, and sovereign infrastructure, and accelerating the path to scalable, production-ready results .

• NVIDIA RTX™ PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition graphics processing units are now available in all HPE AI cloud configurations and AI factory solutions.

HPE adds new AI solutions for the retail, medical research, and manufacturing sectors.

The company offers new multi-tasking solutions designed in collaboration with Nvidia, with the aim of simplifying the adoption of AI applications in the areas of autonomous edge intelligence, assisting shoppers in retail stores, searching for and summarizing videos, and biomedical research .

These solutions combine HPE ProLiant Compute servers and NVIDIA's accelerated computing technologies with NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet, BlueField data processing units, and Connect-X network cards, all based on NVIDIA's enterprise reference architectures. They also include NVIDIA AI Enterprise software, NVIDIA CUDA-X libraries, schemas, confidential computing technologies, multi-replication GPU (MIG) and virtual GPU (vGPU) technologies, along with HPE's chip-to-cloud security and AI-powered automation via the HPE Compute Ops Management platform.

To enhance its multi-workload solutions, HPE is adding the new NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server Edition GPU to its HPE ProLiant servers for edge computing, small language models, vector databases, and data analytics workloads. HPE is also developing new solutions based on the NVIDIA RTX 4500 Blackwell GPU, including the integration of the NVIDIA Retail Shopping Assistant Blueprint to streamline adoption in the retail sector. Simultaneously, HPE is expanding its HPE ProLiant Compute server portfolio with the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPU.

HPE announces new innovations for developing AI networks and large-scale applications at NVIDIA GTC 2026

In separate announcements at NVIDIA GTC 2026, HPE unveiled new networking solutions designed to enable service providers, sovereign entities, and large enterprises to connect distributed AI applications using HPE Juniper Networking routers and coherent optics. The company also expanded its portfolio of solutions for large-scale sovereign AI factories for service providers, sovereign entities, and large enterprises, and introduced a new generation of systems built on the NVIDIA Vera Rubin architecture, designed to run the most demanding AI workloads .

HPE enhances AI data pathways by strengthening integration with NVIDIA

As AI architecture moves into production, data paths, particularly inference contexts, have become a major performance constraint. HPE is working closely with NVIDIA to accelerate all stages of the AI data lifecycle, from receiving and routing to inference and retrieval, and continues to develop the HPE Alletra MP X10000 system to centralize intelligent data processing and improve how AI workloads receive, process, and distribute data .

HPE is the first company to receive NVIDIA Foundation- level object-oriented storage (OOS) certification for its X10000 system. This certification demonstrates that NVIDIA has verified the system's performance against benchmarks for loads of up to 128 GPUs and conducted functional tests to ensure enterprise-level availability and reliability. It also confirms that the storage layer can efficiently deliver data to accelerated computing resources, enabling faster model training, reduced inference latency, and improved overall resource utilization .

With the aim of enhancing collaboration with NVIDIA, HPE will support the new NVIDIA STX reference rack-level architecture to develop new AI storage solutions powered by NVIDIA Vera Rubin , BlueField-4 , Spectrum-X networking, Connect-X NICs , and NVIDIA AI software .
