HPE Discover 2025 is the place to “discover what’s next across networking, AI and hybrid cloud”, HPE promises. This year, it has lured thousands of its customers and partners to Las Vegas for three days of talks, events and product showcases.
We won’t drown you with everything that HPE announced at HPE Discover 2025, even on day one alone, instead focusing on three key pieces of news and indications of strategy.
We’ve covered many AI factories over the past few months, with the promise of giving enterprises one-step access to AI via the cloud. Indeed, HPE and Nvidia hammered home this idea at HPE Discover 2024 with the launch of HPE Private Cloud AI.
This year, it’s calling its offering the “Next Generation HPE Private Cloud AI”. We’re very much hoping that all subsequent releases will have similar Star Trek themes; HPE Private Cloud AI: Deep Space Nine is particularly intriguing.
Anyway, the key promises of the Next Generation in this case is a Federated Architecture, Developer System, Air-Gapped Deployments and Multi-Tenancy.
“With our with our multi-tenancy capabilities enterprises will be able to securely isolate tenants, manage resource quotas and streamline operations,” said CEO Antonio Neri during the keynote. “With HP Private Cloud AI you have the foundation to run your modern AI workloads with confidence.”
According to our transcript, Antonio Neri mentioned Nvidia 15 times during his keynote speech. That compares to three mentions for Intel and two for AMD, so it’s pretty clear who HPE sent a Valentine’s day card to this year.
This love is echoed by the sheer number of announcements that HPE made that directly involve Nvidia…
There were more Nvidia-based announcements, but we need to move on.
One of HPE’s biggest announcements at HPE Discover 2025 (so far) is GreenLake Intelligence. The idea here is to inject AI agents into all areas of your deployment, so that you can have them spread around your network examining every nook and cranny. That means they can spot problems and suggest efficiencies to real, human IT admins.
A video during Antonio Neri’s keynote included a scenario to show how GreenLake Intelligence works. “You are responsible for IT and network ops on two continents, physical infrastructure in 16 countries, 11 main data centres and three public clouds,” intoned the narrator. Who may or may not have been based on AI.
“And this morning, the team rolled out a mission-critical application. It’s performing, but in the background, the AI agents within Aruba Central are at work, analysing network performance, applying HPE’s knowledge base and using reason to model outcomes. Before long, three recommendations from your agents for low costs and their experience. You approve the changes and performance surges.”
HPE says that the GreenLake Copilot beta will be available in the third quarter of 2025 and will arrive as part of ongoing updates to GreenLake.
For an instant insight – well, an hour-long insight – into what HPE is offering its customers, you can view the keynote by HPE CEO Antonio Neri. We recommended popcorn and a long, cool drink for company.
