Hewlett Packard Enterprise and NVIDIA have launched NVIDIA AI Computing by HPE, a portfolio of integrated AI solutions, including HPE Private Cloud AI, designed to streamline and accelerate the adoption of generative AI in enterprises. This collaboration aims to enhance AI infrastructure, offering robust data privacy, security, and lifecycle management features.
19 June 2024 – Hewlett Packard Enterprise and NVIDIA have announced a strategic collaboration to introduce NVIDIA AI Computing by HPE, a comprehensive portfolio of AI solutions. This initiative aims to facilitate the rapid and sustainable adoption of generative AI across enterprises. The portfolio’s flagship offering, HPE Private Cloud AI, marks a significant advancement by integrating NVIDIA’s AI computing, networking, and software with HPE’s AI storage, compute capabilities, and the HPE GreenLake cloud platform.
HPE Private Cloud AI delivers a self-service cloud experience with full lifecycle management, powered by the OpsRamp AI copilot to enhance IT operations and efficiency. This solution, available in four configurations, supports a wide range of AI workloads, including inference, fine-tuning, and RAG AI workloads utilizing proprietary data. It ensures robust enterprise control over data privacy, security, transparency, and governance.
The curated AI and data software stack in HPE Private Cloud AI starts with the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software platform, which includes NVIDIA NIM™ inference microservices. This stack accelerates data science pipelines and streamlines the development and deployment of production-grade AI applications. Complementing this, HPE AI Essentials provides a set of ready-to-use AI and data foundation tools with a unified control plane, ensuring compliance and reproducibility throughout the AI lifecycle.
HPE Private Cloud AI leverages a fully integrated AI infrastructure stack, including NVIDIA Spectrum-X™ Ethernet networking, HPE GreenLake for File Storage, and HPE ProLiant servers, which support NVIDIA L40S, H100 NVL Tensor Core GPUs, and the GH200 NVL2 platform. The HPE GreenLake cloud platform further enhances the solution by offering manageability and observability, along with sustainability metrics for workloads and endpoints.
The OpsRamp AI observability platform, integrated with HPE GreenLake, provides comprehensive monitoring for the entire NVIDIA accelerated computing stack. This integration includes NVIDIA NIM, AI software, Tensor Core GPUs, and AI clusters, enabling IT administrators to identify anomalies and monitor AI infrastructure and workloads across hybrid, multi-cloud environments. Additionally, the OpsRamp operations copilot uses NVIDIA’s accelerated computing platform to analyze large datasets, boosting productivity through a conversational assistant.
This strategic collaboration extends to a global network of system integrators, including Deloitte, HCLTech, Infosys, TCS, and Wipro, who will support enterprises in developing industry-focused AI solutions. HPE GreenLake for File Storage has also achieved NVIDIA DGX BasePOD and NVIDIA OVX certification, providing a proven enterprise file storage solution for AI workloads.
HPE Private Cloud AI and the new server offerings, including the HPE ProLiant DL380a Gen12, DL384 Gen12, and Cray XD670, are expected to be generally available by fall, with the Cray XD670 available this summer.
Antonio Neri, HPE President and CEO, emphasized the transformative potential of generative AI for enterprises, highlighting the importance of their collaboration with NVIDIA in simplifying AI adoption and reducing associated risks. Jensen Huang, NVIDIA founder and CEO, echoed these sentiments, underscoring the unprecedented integration of their technologies to advance AI infrastructure and services for enterprise clients.
