HPE and Nvidia unveil private cloud for AI

Turnkey private cloud for AI

HPE Private Cloud AI integrates Nvidia GPUs, networks, and software with HPE’s AI memory, AI computing power and GreenLake cloud to provide enterprises with an energy-efficient, fast and flexible way to sustainably develop and deploy generative AI applications, the companies said. For example, Nvidia’s AI enterprise software accelerates data science pipelines and optimizes the development and deployment of production-ready copilots and other GenAI applications. At the same time, the Nvidia Inference Micrososervices (NIM) included in Nvidia AI Enterprise are intended to ensure optimized AI model inference, enabling a smooth transition from prototype to secure deployment of AI models.

HPE also offers preconfigured AI and Data Foundation tools as a supplement with its AI Essentials software. They provide customizable solutions, ongoing enterprise support, and reliable AI services such as data and model compliance and extensible capabilities through a unified control plane. According to HPE, this is to ensure that AI pipelines are compliant, explainable and reproducible throughout the AI lifecycle. In addition, HPE Private Cloud AI is powered by the new OpsRamp AI Copilot, which helps IT operations improve workload and IT efficiency.

Fidelma Russo, CTO and head of HPE’s Hybrid Cloud Business Unit, highlighted the solution’s quick start-up: “You plug in the device, connect it to the Greenlake cloud, and three clicks later, boom, your data science and IT operations teams are ready to go and start using the Nvidia software,” she said. “We also offer an evergreen experience, so you always have the latest version of HPE software, Nvidia’s AI enterprise software and NIM software just a click away.”
