HPE President and CEO Antonio Neri announced that partners will soon be able to sell instances of HPE’s AI public cloud, GreenLake for Large Language Models, starting in North America in the first quarter of the upcoming year. This public cloud initiative is a collaboration with German AI startup Aleph Alpha, in which HPE has recently invested as part of its AI development in the public cloud.
Neri emphasized the importance of partnerships with Aleph Alpha, allowing customers to consume generative AI models in a virtual private cloud. This approach differentiates HPE from Microsoft, which integrates generative AI into its applications with Copilot. HPE’s focus is on helping customers build and fine-tune AI models using Aleph Alpha’s expertise and HPE’s computing power.
As HPE expands its AI cloud offerings, partners will have the opportunity to sell capacity on public instances for training or model tuning. This move is strategic in catering to the growing demand for AI solutions in the market. The fiscal year 2023 financial results reflect HPE’s impressive commercial and financial performance, with increased revenue, margin expansion, and record-breaking free cash flow.
Furthermore, HPE’s business units, including Intelligent Edge, HPC, and AI, have shown significant growth and innovation. The company’s partnership with Nvidia in enterprise AI collaboration demonstrates a commitment to providing solutions for model building, training, and AI inference. The rise of AI presents opportunities for partners to develop service capabilities in implementing these models successfully.
Overall, HPE’s focus on AI development, collaboration with partners, and commitment to innovation positions the company for continued growth and success in the evolving technology landscape.
