Las Vegas is known for its vibrant entertainment scene, with billboards and flyers promoting shows all over the city. Sphere, the latest addition to the event venues, opened in September 2023 and has hosted performances by big names like U2, Phish, Dead & Company, and HPE CEO Antonio Neri. During HPE Discover 2024, delegates were impressed by the venue and eagerly awaited Neri’s keynote speech on HPE Nvidia AI Computing.
The partnership between HPE and Nvidia brings AI-optimized hardware to the mid-market and enterprise sector through HPE GreenLake. Despite the absence of last year’s big announcement, GreenLake for LLM, the focus this year was on on-site service delivery and the potential impact of generative AI tools on data storage and compliance.
Sustainability was also highlighted, with HPE emphasizing its efforts to create energy-efficient supercomputers and utilize waste heat for heating buildings. However, challenges remain in addressing the increasing power consumption associated with new AI hardware.
At the event, attendees had the chance to interact with robots and avatars, including a digital replica of Antonio Neri. The prevalence of generative AI at Discover 2024 signals its ongoing importance in the technology landscape, while the future of GreenLake for LLM remains uncertain.
The success of HPE’s Nvidia AI Computing initiative will depend on customer adoption and enthusiasm for the new hardware. As the company continues to navigate the evolving tech landscape, the impact of AI on data storage and server demand will be key factors to watch in the coming year.
