Hewlett Packard Enterprise is stepping up its Nvidia AI Factory-powered march with new offerings, including the launch of new HPE servers with Nvidia RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell GPUs.
Among the new offerings unleashed this week at the HPE Discover conference are the HPE Compute XD690, which features up to eight Nvidia Blackwell Ultra GPUs and new HPE ProLiant Gen 12 servers with Blackwell.
John Lonergan, vice president of business development for global strategic partners for Nvidia, told HPE partners at the HPE Partner Growth Summit that the new RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell platform is primed to play a leading position in bringing AI into the enterprise. “We have a tremendous amount of focus on that platform for the enterprise,” he said.
Erik Krucker, CTO of Ramsey, N.J.-based Comport Consulting, No. 231 on the 2025 CRN Solution Provider 500, said the new RTX 6000 Blackwell provides HPE with an impressive offering to bring to market to drive AI adoption. “RTX is a good product,” he said. “It is a Swiss army knife of GPUs. It covers a lot of different territory.”
Besides the Blackwell support, HPE said that the HPE OpsRamp AI operations platform is now a “validated observability and monitoring solution for any Nvidia enterprise AI Factory offering.
“What makes the validation significant is the depth of visibility that OpsRamp delivers,” said HPE Senior Vice President and General Manager of Private Cloud and Flex Solutions Cheri Williams. “It provides full-stack observability from AI workloads all the way down to multi-vendor third-party infrastructure components within the Nvidia AI Factory ecosystem. That means deeper insight, better performance across the entire AI stack. With HPE OpsRamp validated for the Nvidia AI Factory, you can observe AI using AI.”
Williams said HPE’s Nvidia AI Factory portfolio now includes a turnkey ready-to-deploy appliance for enterprises along with customized configurations for AI at scale supporting AI model building and training. “All of these solutions are designed to enable sovereign use cases and service providers as well,” she said. “Each solution is designed to simplify AI adoption by integrating infrastructure, software and a unified control plane and services into a single cohesive offering.”
Williams said HPE’s CloudOps Software Suite—which brings together OpsRamp, HPE Morpheus Enterprise Software and HPE Zerto Software—is a big differentiator for HPE.
“The orchestration and management capabilities of Morpheus coupled with the observability and monitoring capabilities of OpsRamp and data protection capabilities of Zerto ensure enterprises are able to manage, orchestrate, observe and protect their AI ecosystems and workloads,” she said. “HPE is the only vendor in the industry that can offer this full complement of AI factory solutions from enterprise-ready turnkey appliance to fully customizable AI factory deployments at scale powered by a comprehensive software suite that enables customers to readily integrate AI factories into their evolving ecosystem.”
Nvidia’s Lonergan said HPE and Nvidia have come a long way over the last year to help drive enterprise AI market momentum. He said the joint curriculum and enablement program that the two companies brought to market has been adopted by partners “faster” than he anticipated with 3,000 individuals from 1,000 partner companies taking 10,000 courses.
“I think at the highest level our partnership has gone from strength to strength,” he said. “Our partnership is obviously very strong at all layers of our company from the executive level through the field through the engineering organizations. We co-engineered solutions together such as Private Cloud AI, and obviously that work continues. At the engineering level, it has been super.”
Longergan said partners have brought the Nvidia AI solutions not just into traditional industries it expected like financial services, health care and manufacturing but also in vertical markets where the channel is strong including real estate, legal, insurance and with as-a-service offerings. “I think you have gone broader than anticipated, which is really good,” Longergan told partners.
