As artificial intelligence (AI) shifts from training-focused to inference, HPE has announced a range of computing and networking products powered by Nvidia graphics processing units (GPUs) that it says will redefine how AI is delivered by moving intelligence to where data and users are based, and making the network a trusted fabric to support real-time experiences.

One of the highlights of the range is HPE AI Networkdesigned to transform distributed AI factories into intelligent AI infrastructure powered by Nvidia. They are said to offer a “critical” application for AI services and use cases that rely on real-time, low-latency connectivity, including retail personalization and predictive maintenance in industries such as manufacturing, localized edge inference in healthcare, and carrier-grade AI services.

HPE believes that native AI applications require a distributed, predictable, low-latency infrastructure. The HPE AI Grid service, part of the Nvidia AI…
