At HPE Discover 2024, Neil MacDonald, Executive Vice President of Compute, HPC & AI at HPE, discussed the company's partnership with NVIDIA, announced as "NVIDIA AI Computing by HPE." MacDonald described the collaboration as a strategic relationship focused on accelerating enterprise deployment of generative AI. He stated that the technology is intended to change business processes by enabling systems to generate responses based on a company's historical data, such as past proposals, making sales and pursuit teams more productive. MacDonald said that enterprises that do not adapt to generative AI risk becoming obsolete. MacDonald also addressed the technical requirements for enterprise AI, noting that power efficiency is critical as systems scale and that 100% liquid cooling will be necessary for handling multi-kilowatt power levels. He emphasized that the key to enterprise AI success is integrating compute, data, and models at the system level, rather than focusing on individual servers or accelerators. The partnership includes joint go-to-market campaigns and equipping customer briefing centers with the combined technology, with a detailed plan reviewed regularly by HPE CEO Antonio Neri and NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang.
