HPE Discover Barcelona 2025: HPE has added five new partners to its Unleash AI initiative, including CrowdStrike, and brought its Digital Accessibility Compliance Solution to Europe. Previously, this solution was only available in the USA.
Unleash AI is HPE’s ecosystem of partners and programs designed to provide a turnkey solution for enterprises. The idea is that companies can quickly deploy AI workloads using HPE Private Cloud infrastructure that includes cutting-edge Nvidia hardware.
Aside from CrowdStrike, the new partners are Fortanix, GambitCo, QuantPi and Traefik Labs. “Each partner brings specialised expertise, and their participation expands the reach and capabilities of HPE AI solutions, giving customers even more leading solutions to power their AI transformations,” according to HPE.
As HPE makes roughly 7,000 announcements per minute, you may have missed the news that it introduced a solution to help companies comply with American digital accessibility legislation two months ago.
In early October, it revealed the HPE Digital Accessibility Compliance Solution. This is designed to automate compliance with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, which aims to ensure that everyone can easily access US government resources. Think IRS filings and Social Security updates.
“To help government agencies remove the hurdles around digital accessibility, today [2 October] HPE, Kamiwaza and SHI unveiled a new solution with Nvidia technology designed to automate Section 508 compliance, and help ensure federal and state government websites are accessible for every visitor,” HPE states.
“Built on HPE Private Cloud AI, the Section 508 compliance solution streamlines accessibility workflows, accelerates deployment, and helps agencies meet digital accessibility standards by leveraging agentic AI.”
Today’s news effectively means that HPE is bringing the same solution, but this time to support EU accessibility legislations.
“Regulations such as the European Accessibility Act (EAA) and the Web Accessibility
Directive (WAD) set strict standards for public and commercial organisations,” HPE states.
“All new digital products in the EU must be accessible, with a 2030 compliance deadline for existing services.”
In particular, via its Unleash AI program, HPE is offering those public and commercial organisations a turnkey solution based on HPE Private Cloud AI and featuring HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 DL380a and Gen11 DL385 servers with Nvidia RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs.
Kamiwaza’s contribution is ARIA, standing for Accessibility Remediation Intelligence Agent. This is an “always-on AI agent that scans, fixes, and certifies every page, app or kiosk screen against Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) criteria,” claims HPE.
It adds: “ARIA continuously scans websites and apps, instantly flagging and fixing accessibility issues as new content goes live.
“This real-time approach eliminates delays and ensures ongoing compliance with WCAG, WAD, and EN 301 549 standards. The solution scales according to organisational needs, to establish a sustainable and evolving compliance program.”
The new solution for Europe is available now, either directly from HPE or through its validated HPE Solution Providers.
