HPE Introduces ProLiant Servers Featuring Advanced NVIDIA GPUs to Accelerate AI Development
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has announced significant advancements in its NVIDIA AI Computing by HPE Portfolio, enhancing integration with NVIDIA AI Enterprise and introducing updated NVIDIA AI models and blueprints for HPE Private Cloud AI. The company will offer HPE ProLiant Compute servers featuring NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs, with a new 2U form factor designed to meet the growing AI demands in enterprise data centres. Two primary server configurations will be available: the HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen11, which supports up to two NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 GPUs, and the HPE ProLiant Compute DL380a Gen12, which accommodates up to eight GPUs in a 4U form factor, set to ship in September. These servers are tailored for diverse workloads, including generative and agentic AI, robotics, industrial automation, visual computing, and simulation. HPE’s Gen12 ProLiant Compute servers incorporate multi-layered security features, such as HPE Integrated Lights Out (iLO) 7 Silicon Root of Trust, ensuring tamper-resistant protection and quantum-resistant firmware signing.
In addition to server enhancements, HPE has revealed details about the upcoming generation of HPE Private Cloud AI, expected to launch later this year. This expansion will support NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 GPUs, allowing scalability across GPU generations and introducing features like air-gapped management and enterprise multi-tenancy. Co-developed with NVIDIA, HPE Private Cloud AI will also support the latest NVIDIA Nemotron models for agentic AI, the Cosmos Reason vision language model for physical AI and robotics, and NVIDIA’s Blueprint for Video Search and Summarisation (VSS 2.4). These innovations aim to assist customers in developing video analytics AI agents capable of processing large volumes of video data for actionable insights. HPE emphasises its ongoing collaboration with NVIDIA to ensure rapid deployment of NVIDIA NIM microservices for the latest AI models and blueprints, accessible through HPE AI Essentials. The overarching goal is to equip enterprises with the necessary infrastructure to meet the rising demand for AI inferencing while ensuring data control and high-performance operations.
