Following last year’s heavy focus on HPE private cloud AI and its partnership with NVIDIA, this year’s HPE Discover (23-26 June) spotlighted a new Gen12 compute solution and virtualisation platform, designed specifically for AI workloads. As a HPE Gold Partner we closely track these announcements to understand how they’ll impact the organisations that we support.
A standout theme this year was the deeper integration of AI tools and technologies into both HPE GreenLake and into hybrid cloud environments. This marks a shift in the industry: as the AI market matures, organisations are moving beyond proofs of concept and pilot projects and confront the real operational challenges of deploying AI at scale. The close alignment with platforms like Ops ramp and Morpheus is still very much likely to feature.
The hybrid cloud narrative has evolved, with a clear move away from commoditised migrations, towards a more strategic focus on modernising and optimising existing environments. This shift is a reflection of key insights from the “all in on public cloud” messaging from the hyperscalers, which many now view as overly simplistic.
This will also align very closely with VM Essentials (HPEs own hypervisor) to help customers manage with the challenges of the upheaval in the VMWare licensing model.
It will be interesting to see how tightly this has been coupled to HPE GreenLake and how the “modernise and optimise” narrative could help customers achieve an aspect of “workload mobility”.
