HPE Doubles Down on AI with GreenLake and Infrastructure Upgrades

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) is making significant strides in the AI space, leveraging its GreenLake hybrid cloud platform, expanded software lineup, and hardware portfolio to compete with rivals like Dell and Cisco. At its HPE Discover 2025 event in Las Vegas, the company unveiled a series of AI-driven innovations aimed at enterprise workloads.

Key Announcements:

• GreenLake Intelligence: A new agentic AI framework designed to automate tasks across infrastructure. Powered by domain-specific LLMs trained on over 3 trillion parameters of HPE data, it integrates with storage, networking, and cloud operations.

  • Model Context Protocol (MCP): Enables LLMs to pull external data for enhanced decision-making.
  • AI Agents: Autonomous systems for networking, storage, FinOps, and GreenOps management.

• Infrastructure Upgrades:

  • Alletra Storage MP X10000: Scale-out object storage with MCP server support (previewed, launching H2 2025).
  • Aruba Networking Central: Enhanced with agentic mesh technology for root-cause analysis (Q3 2025 availability).
  • Compute XD690 Servers: High-end servers with Nvidia Blackwell Ultra GPUs and AMD accelerators.

• CloudOps Suite: Combines OpsRamp (observability), Zerto (workload protection), and Morpheus (orchestration) for multi-cloud management.

• Nvidia AI Computing: Expanded Private Cloud AI factory with ProLiant Gen12 servers, federated architecture, and air-gapped system support.

Workforce and Efficiency:

HPE plans to reduce its workforce from 61,000 to 58,000, partly due to AI-driven operational efficiencies, as highlighted by CEO Antonio Neri.

Strategic Moves:

• Juniper Networks Acquisition: The $14 billion deal aims to bolster HPE’s AI-driven networking portfolio.
• Sovereign AI Focus: Targeting model builders and neoclouds with pre-integrated AI factories.
