Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE: HPE) unveiled an expanded NVIDIA AI Computing by HPE portfolio to simplify and accelerate AI adoption across governments, regulated sectors, and large enterprises. The enhanced lineup enables organizations to deploy secure, private AI infrastructure more efficiently through ready-to-deploy AI factory solutions, integrated data strategies, and next-generation HPE servers powered by the latest NVIDIA technologies.

With AI adoption gaining momentum worldwide, many organizations continue to struggle with fragmented strategies and limited data management. HPE and NVIDIA are jointly addressing these challenges through a complete suite of AI factory solutions—from developer environments to sovereign AI cloud frameworks—empowering institutions to establish unified, secure AI ecosystems.

“Enterprises often face complex deployment and data challenges when scaling AI,” said Fidelma Russo, Executive Vice President and CTO at HPE. “Together with NVIDIA, we’re providing end-to-end private AI factory solutions that simplify operations and help organizations scale confidently while maintaining compliance and data sovereignty.”

Justin Boitano, Vice President of Enterprise Software at NVIDIA, added, “AI factories represent the core infrastructure of the intelligence age. By combining NVIDIA Blackwell architecture, high-speed networking, and AI Data Platform designs, we’re enabling every industry to harness automation and accelerate digital transformation.”

The second generation of HPE Private Cloud AI, developed in collaboration with NVIDIA, introduces a more compact version designed to help organizations accelerate their journey toward AI-driven transformation. This new iteration simplifies deployment, enhances scalability, and allows enterprises to achieve faster time-to-value across diverse workloads and environments.

At the core of this new platform lies superior performance capability. The HPE ProLiant Compute DL380a Gen12 server, equipped with NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPUs, delivers up to three times better price-to-performance compared to earlier generations. It also leads multiple MLPerf™ Inference v5.1 benchmarks, underscoring its strength in handling intensive enterprise AI workloads efficiently.

To address the needs of public sector organizations, HPE’s AI factory for sovereigns has been designed to support the NVIDIA AI Factory for Government. This solution offers a full-stack, secure, and compliant framework tailored for high-assurance entities. It ensures that governments and regulated industries can deploy and manage AI workloads both on-premises and within hybrid cloud environments while maintaining data sovereignty and policy compliance.

Security continues to be a key pillar of HPE’s innovation. The latest AI factory introduces air-gapped management capabilities, which create fully isolated cloud environments. This allows sensitive data and mission-critical workloads to operate independently from external networks—an essential feature for sectors dealing with confidential or regulated information.

In the area of customer and user experience, HPE Services has integrated NVIDIA NeMo, enabling the creation of advanced digital avatars for a range of industries. This development is expected to revolutionize digital engagement across sectors like retail, banking, education, healthcare, and manufacturing—offering intelligent virtual assistants that improve service delivery and operational efficiency.

To help organizations deploy AI faster, HPE has rolled out a new system adoption accelerator for the HPE Private Cloud Developer Edition. This service includes pre-built pipelines, automated workflows, and knowledge transfer sessions, making it easier for data science teams to implement, test, and optimize AI models quickly and effectively.

Expanding beyond enterprise solutions, HPE introduced the Agentic Smart City Solution, created in partnership with SHI and NVIDIA, which is being implemented by the Town of Vail. This unified, AI-driven platform allows cities to move beyond isolated pilot projects toward scalable, intelligent urban infrastructure. It enhances critical municipal operations such as accessibility compliance, permit management, and wildfire detection through real-time, secure AI systems.

Complementing these advancements, HPE’s unified data layer now integrates agentic AI governance, unstructured data management, and secure-by-design storage. When combined with the NVIDIA AI Data Platform, it enables seamless access to AI-ready data, empowering enterprises to feed applications, models, and intelligent agents efficiently. Enhanced storage with HPE Alletra MP X10000, GPU-accelerated access through NVIDIA S3oRDMA, and AI-driven governance powered by Model Context Protocol (MCP) together establish a “data without borders” foundation—ensuring compliance, speed, and security for the next generation of AI infrastructure.

Future HPE ProLiant and Cray servers will integrate NVIDIA Rubin CPXs, Vera Rubin CPX platforms, ConnectX-9 SuperNIC, and BlueField-4 DPU, supporting up to 800 Gb/s throughput and multi-tenant AI runtime security for next-generation AI factories. HPE is a global technology leader that combines AI, cloud, and networking innovations to drive digital transformation. With decades of expertise in enterprise infrastructure, HPE empowers organizations to turn data into insight, optimize performance, and achieve meaningful impact across industries.
