This morning, the sun rose over the mountains. Tides shifted at the shore, and redwoods stretched their limbs to the sky. All the while technology was advancing. Holding our natural world in balance with human progress is challenging.
Now, as the age of insight advances, there is hope. AI holds the key to unlocking infinite possibilities for our planet, analyzing weather patterns and managing smart grids so renewable energy sources are optimized, ensuring a steady supply of clean energy and powering our future without limits. Imagine medical breakthroughs so major that incurable becomes an obsolete word.
With AI's ability to process infinite amounts of data, doctors and researchers can unlock whole person diagnostics and treatments bespoke to patients, delivering life saving care that has no limits. With a growing demand for food, AI is revolutionizing agriculture. Now, nourishing billions sustainably is finally within reach. With precision farming, we can achieve bigger crop yields and a future where every seed can thrive and no one goes hungry.
AI enables us to unlock the secrets of the universe and unravel the complexities of space exploration so we can bring what we learn up there down to earth. The future is a canvas waiting to be painted and AI holds the brush. Throughout HPE's history, we've been on the leading edge of innovation. And now united with our customers and partners, we have the power to shape a brighter future where humanity thrives and challenges are surmounted with the most sure footed determination and the impossible becomes possible.
HPE intelligence has no limits. Please welcome HPE President and Chief Executive Officer Antonio Neri. Wow. Wasn't that amazing? Welcome. What an amazing venue. Big moments require big venues.
Welcome to my living room. I hope you're gonna have an amazing experience here today. It is an honor to be with you at Sphere and give the first ever ever keynote in this space. Thank you for joining us today and for being part of the Hewlett Packard Enterprise community. At HPE, we believe intelligence has no limits and what a great representation in that video.
When the human mind is in concert with AI, there is nothing we cannot achieve together. Since ancient times, human beings have had a thirst for knowledge which has driven us to explore the world and push the boundaries of what is possible. Starting with Hewlett-Packard company's founding over 80 years ago, HP has been at the leading edge of innovation, empowering enterprises with inspiring tools to spark imagination and turn ideas into reality.
Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard transformed the movie industry with the audio oscillator and accelerated finance and engineering with a groundbreaking HP calculator. And today we are at the forefront of reshaping life sciences with the advent of Frontier, the world fastest supercomputer. HPE has consistently provided the essential technologies that transform enterprises and entire industries. Everything we have accomplished has led us to this moment today. We are again leading a revolution on what we anticipated and adapted for the rapidly transforming HPE into an entirely new company.
I stand before you full of inspiration as we arrive at the AI solutions that will accelerate the generative AI industrial revolution. Through breakthrough organic innovation, targeted acquisitions, and key visionary partners, we have propelled our edge to cloud innovation agenda forward and strengthened our edge to cloud journey, now leading to AI. This morning, I will make bold announcements that bring us closer to the potential and the promise of AI and catapult the enterprise of today and tomorrow to new heights. Let us begin with how HPE works with organizations of all sizes across industries to harness the AI as a force for good in order to change lives for the better. From renewable energy to helping solve food scarcity to drug discovery, HPE enables our customers to harness the power of AI as a driving force for good. For instance, HPE proudly offered its patented innovations and AI systems to accelerate the world's response to the COVID pandemic.
We provided supercomputing software and application expertise as well as our systems to help research, port, run and optimize essential applications for the research. HPE exists to advance the way people live and work and AI accelerates our purpose in profound new ways. To be successful, we all must be purpose driven and we need AI that we can trust.
That's why in 2019, Hewlett-Packard Labs established five key AI ethics principles. The first is privacy. Second, AI must be human focused. Third, AI must also be inclusive ensuring access for everyone.
Fourth, AI must be responsible. And last, AI must be robust and continuously quality tested At HPE, we are stewards of AI,upholding our principles with unwavering integrity. We are all deeply aware of the transformative power of AI, but AI is hard, it is complicated, and it come even with the full of risks. It is tempting to rush in with AI.
No one wants to get left behind, yet innovation at any cost is very dangerous. Examples of what can go wrong happen every day. We now question everything we see and hear and cyber threats are everywhere. In fact, a recent HPE survey of 2,500 IT leaders across industry found that 94% said that AI has increased their enterprise security risks. Following our AI ethics principles, Hewlett-Packard Labs is researching, developing and deploying technology to help protect privacy and stop attacks with enhanced security. Our enterprise on-ramps to AI provide the guardrails
to help ensure data sovereignty and brand protection. This empowers you to sense, learn and react smartly so that you can turn insight into action in an instant. HPE is a complete AI solution partner for your enterprise regardless of the size. When we connect everything inside your enterprise with the right expertise from edge to cloud, business transformation happens and intelligence has no limits. It all starts with data.
It is your most valuable asset. I have said for years that one day data will be recorded on your balance sheet and that day is coming. It's coming really fast when you can extract all the knowledge that lives in your data. We believe your enterprise can truly have no limits.
HPE is a trail blazer in the world of technology and we are there for you to serve as your trusted guide. For most of you utilizing generative AI at the edge is a top priority. And that means training existing models and running inferencing at the edge to solve business problems like content generation to accelerate product design and optimization, enhancing customer support experiences while reducing costs through conversational AI, using computer vision for quality assurance, security, and streamlining operations, and even to build virtual assistants to increase productivity. In fact, if you have a question for me, just ask my virtual avatar later today on the show floor.
Live demonstrations of these examples are waiting for you in the HPE Discover showcase alongside smart solutions for integrating inference and fine tuning with your own data across your enterprise and so much more. Whether you're building a small or large language model HPE has the advanced AI compute power and speed to handle the massive amount of data and software needed to train and tune AI models. The Frontier super computer processing speed is so powerful. It will take every person on earth combined all of us more than four years to do what it can do in just one second. That is exascale, a computing achievement equivalent to landing on the moon.
Our supercomputers are marvels of engineering, serving as global leaders in performance and leading in sustainability. We have democratized these advancements making them accessible to enterprises of all sizes. We are proud of our supercomputing leadership. Today, we have four of the top 10 fastest supercomputers in the world per the top 500 list. It is what positions us to lead in the generative AI into the future.
We have solved challenges previously thought impossible and what we innovate for the world's largest systems today with the power of AI system for your enterprise tomorrow. That's the advantage that we have. As we look forward, the next generation of accelerated compute silicon will require more power density. AI systems generate a lot of heat and waste. HPE is at the forefront of applying the latest liquid technology in terms of cooling and has more than two decades of experience. Today, HPE has seven of the top 10 supercomputers on the green 500 list.
In part due to our liquid cooling leadership HPE has decades of experience in the design, manufacturing and management of liquid cool systems including the Datacenter infrastructure to reliably deliver the highest level of compute performance. We also have hundreds of patents in direct liquid cooling because we are not just concerned with having the fastest of the most powerful AI system on earth. We are driving innovation that considers the impact on the planet for future generations.
And when you stop listening to our planet, it talks back, it talks back to us, oceans, glaciers, desert sands and all the living things have stories to tell. These immersive sounds are what inspired the researchers at the Purdue University center for global soundscapes, and for a good reason. By listening to our planet, we can discover things we cannot see. Our work at the Purdue University is an example of an AI inferencing.
We are helping the university preserve these stories by collecting, tagging and applying AI to massive audio data sets so they can understand, we can all understand, the patterns and help preserve a beautiful planet for generations to come. To date, the center for global soundscapes has gathered 6 million pieces of quality data from 600 different places in the world. Over 1.2 petabytes of data using HPE infrastructure software and services. Carnegie Clean energy is a great example of a training use case.
It relies on HPE's AI expertise and AI systems at the Policy Supercomputing Research Center in Australia to design AI powered buoys that generate electricity using the ocean's waves by using reinforcement AI learning to adjust the rhythm and the size of oncoming waves, continuously optimizing the energy production, which is proving to be a very exciting sustainable solution. These examples are a small sets, a sample of sets that we have in the vast potential for AI inference training and tuning, which demonstrates the power of a unique strategy which is the only which is only possible when the connectivity and the data aggregation work as one with accelerated computing. HPE is using AI to change lives for better. The next story hits close to home for many of us. In 2020, 55 million people were affected by dementia around the world. Sadly, this number doubles every 20 years and it is predicted to reach 78 million in 2030.
But there is hope a groundbreaking study by DZNE, a leading research institution initially focusing on German patients with dementia has now expanded globally. Swarm learning is an AI technique developed by HPE and is designed to keep AI training results private but enables hospital research institutions to keep their patient data secure while privately sharing the learning, the insights with other teams around the world. Swarm learning is a revolutionary shift from sharing AI training learnings and insights without sharing an individual private data. Whether it's from Osaka to Auckland and Helsinki to Cambridge, MIT and Stanford Swamp Learning is leveraging the memory center computing of HPE AI systems to accelerate early detection, prevention and ultimately the cure of dementia and other devastating diseases. That is why the DZNE established a swarm learning center to bring together the biggest minds around the world to combat dementia.
This is AI a scale working across borders and institutions to build a better future for all. But no one can do it alone. Collaboration is a must and at HPE, we have the means to connect the world. Today, the aviation industry is accelerating its focus on reducing its overall carbon footprint. GE Aerospace is at the forefront of this effort.
It is leveraging our supercomputing technology to create an AI digital twin to design a revolutionary new efficient engines, leveraging Frontier's ability to process billions upon billions of operations per second. GE was able to simulate engine air movement with an incredible detail. Let's take a look. Today, countless times all over the world, a plane will leave the runway carrying passengers across the horizon. The doors will open to new adventures, friendships, even new lives. Flight has freed us for endless possibilities. Now, aviation itself can aim higher
to bring the world closer with more efficiency and less impact on the environment. GE Aerospace's ambition is to decarbonize commercial flight with jet engines that enhance performance, reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions and take the industry in a new direction. At Oak Ridge National Laboratory, GE Aerospace engineers use an HPE AI supercomputer, the fastest in the world, to run simulations at close to a quintillion calculations per second to optimize components, testing countless versions to achieve their breakthrough design.
This is what we unlock when intelligence has no limits. While you explore navigating new landscapes, embracing new cultures, discovering new perspectives, we explore aerodynamics, acoustic physics, engine performance. You explore endless horizons, we explore the future of flight. HPE. Unlock ambition.
Albert Einstein once said creativity is intelligence having fun. It is obvious that GE Aerospace is having a lot of fun exploring the future of flight. Our innovations as I have shown you, where insight lives, HPE is there with the right AI strategy, bringing excellence in engineering delivery support as well as creating smarter IT life cycles. We are your trusted partner in AI. Quality is woven in our culture.
Innovation is baked in our DNA. Our track record proves it. There are millions of illustrations of this from enabling interconnected retail at massive scale at the Home Depot here in the United States, decarbonizing the world through more sustainable IT at Danfoss with our HPE GreenLake cloud platform or enabling Carestream Health to use machine learning to reduce training by training times by 73% and detect tumors earlier to help save life. HPE helps ensure enterprises of all sizes drive innovation with the power of AI. I spoke earlier about the innovation that HPE has brought to life throughout our storied history.
As we accelerate into degenerative uh era, even greater innovation will be required to empower your success. And it is HPE and our community of partners who will bring that to you. AI would require hybrid cloud, but AI is not one single thing or a monolithic world load to deploy AI must, you must orchestrate hundreds of microservices, multiple AI models specific accelerators and connect many different data sources, all of which are highly distributed across your Hybrid IT state that is why you need a hybrid strategy. At the same time, you must maintain data governance, regulatory compliance and security end to end making on premise private clouds essential to your hybrid mix. As I mentioned earlier, AI also require a data first approach and when it comes to your data speed matters according to I DC, 50% of executives says that the data loses value within hours and only 7% of IT leaders says they can access real time data. If you don't have your data at the source, then you cannot get it fast enough to use it.
Generative. AI is a distributed workload, connecting all your data is essential, which means you require a strong networking foundation from age to cloud. Unlike other providers with silo solutions HPE provides a leading modern and also AI driven networking fabric. Today, our HPE Aruba Networking portfolio enables customers to deploy modern AI driven networking from Walt Disney world resorts here in North America to Angle and Volkers, Tencent and bank Colombia. Leading organizations across the world rely on us to connect their businesses with security. First AI power networking.
We cannot forget our HPE Aruba Networking customer community who we call affectionately her heads. It is 210,000 members around the world that share information and inspire each other with their ideas. Let's give them a warm welcome uh here to HPE Discover, which is the first time. Thank you for being here today.
Many of you are familiar with Land O Lakes, one of the America's leading agriculture and food co-operatives. Land O Lakes has a big dream to connect a dairy and co op locations to reliable broadband. They turn to HPE Aruba Networking for a solution that that uh will provide more secure, indoor and actually outdoor wireless connectivity and support mobility for people devices and machines by using our intelligent solution in its dairy manufacturing processing plant. Land O Lakes has greatly improved what we call pick pack and ship operations efficiency, but it didn't stop there.
Land O Lakes wanted to bridge the gap between technology and its farm operations, bringing wifi to rural communities that lacked access. HPE Aruba Network went above and beyond to address the digital divide, empowering farmers with applications that could help them in the daily operations but also in their personal lives. Now by gathering more SecureData from silos to soil.
Land O Lakes can utilize AI to anticipate crop yields. The data is protected and belongs solely to the farmers in the field. Together we are laying the foundation for AI revolutionizing the agricultural industry and empowering farmers with the data and innovation. They need to thrive the manufacturing quality assurance and latency matter. HPE placed cameras at five different angles of real metrics assembly lines. The camera feeds images into a series of neural networks where patterns are recognized and the computer actually decide to pass or fail in the moment they went from 21 seconds down to one second, which is a 2000% improvement.
I think that's the power of processing data in real time at the source. That's about as a real time as it gets. Early this year, we announced our intent to acquire Juniper networks deal is expected to close at the end of this calendar year or early next year. We expect to harness the combined capabilities of both companies to create an industry leader with a modern more secure and I driven networking portfolio.
This will complement overall business strategy to accelerate the deployment and adoption for both hybrid cloud and AI. And what that means it means for enterprises managing simplifying complex network architectures and extended into new areas such as private five G for environments where you need persistent dense connectivity and for service providers, we expect they will see improvements in automation and orchestration of virtualized network functions to scale their infrastructure, reduce cost and accelerate the speed of delivery for new services to customers. To train your AI model. You will require the right accelerated computing and storage infrastructure. HPE is the leader in accelerated computing from H to X scale. And together with our partners, we will continue to engineer high performing and sustainable AI systems.
We continue to expand our HPE ProLiant and HPE Cray AI servers portfolio to support the latest silicon innovations that will demand direct liquid cooling. We will be time to market with our key partners. AI also require a modern approach to store and protect your data. Our new HPE Alletra storage MP platform provides high performance for data intensive workloads with highly efficient data reduction. HPE Alletra storage allows you to scale up and down independently to optimize your individual load requirements and now extends data replication to the public cloud with its software-defined storage capabilities. Building an intelligent data foundation will be the key to your data driven business transformation.
The latest release of our HPE GreenLake file storage is specifically designed to meet the demands of our structured data for AI as well as our recently announced HPE GreenLake block storage for AWS a solution that helps you seamlessly manage block storage across your hybrid cloud environments. That is what makes HPE a leader in hybrid cloud storage and your trusted partner to advance AI BMW is a great example. Of a customer that is taking full advantage of our unique innovation. The premium car company brings together the future of mobility electrification and sustainability.
Together, we embarked on a history making collaboration that unified vehicle trades from the global BMW test fleet. This enables a series of initiatives including automated mass data analysis. An essential part of the vehicle development process. Having a solid data foundation is a critical step to accelerate the deployment of AI.
Let us take a ride into the future of mobility. We're at a new threshold where human expertise is harnessing the unprecedented power of AI opening the door to infinite possibilities for changing our lives. Enter BMW reimagining sheer driving pleasure with a groundbreaking approach to electric vehicle design that transforms automotive manufacturing and is powered by data to advance performance and safety. BMW S global engineering team tests the EVs in diverse driving scenarios from long distance to extreme weather using HPE GreenLake data is processed from each vehicle on an edge computing platform, assisting the team in leveraging analytics and machine learning, engaging AI to deliver vital insights all allowing for seamless collaboration, development and a greater speed to market. This is what we unlock when intelligence has no limits. You drive with better performance, more confidence, more sustainably.
We drive a data foundation advanced connectivity, faster innovation, you drive with joy, we drive towards an industry transformed HPE unlock ambition. Isn't that amazing? What an incredible look are the drive and experience that are weighed all of us. But listen, we have not stopped driving innovation just on earth. We are out in space too as an example of the most extreme of edge infer in a new chapter has unfolded with our HPE Space Born program. As we sit here today, HPE space Born is orbiting more than 250 mile miles above us, enabling astronauts to process data in real time as they collected in the ISS uh International space Station.
Why? Because they are conducting research in space in 1969 HP's technology helped support the Apollo mission land the first US astronauts on the moon. I'm personally very proud that HPE will partner with Venturia Austro lab and its flex rover program on the upcoming Artemis mission to bring edge computing and AI capabilities to the moon. Working together, we are building a logistics network that will help move supplies and collect data so that we can learn up in space will benefit us all down on earth. A very special Thank you goes to our partner Kioxia for joining us on the journey to the moon. So thank you very much. But this all leads us to the most important component which I believe is our people.
HPE has a dedicated team of experts, including our partner ecosystem who are committed to supporting you throughout your AI and hybrid cloud journey. Expertise has always mattered. You need a partner who understand your business who has the right technological solutions and who can help you create investment capacity so you can pursue your business objectives together. We are one HPE building a bridge to the future with you, with our unique innovation and expertise. We make the impossible possible HPE is your trusted partner in AI. We stand ready to help you make history too. We are not just witnessing the future.
We are shaping it with the eye for more than a decade. NVIDIA has been our visionary partner who share our purpose and commitment to innovation over the years. HPE has partnered with NVIDIA to achieve amazing success with our customers and delivering best in class AI and super computing solutions. One great example of that is the newest Venado supercomputer at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, which is the first is the first US supercomputer to feature the NVIDIA Grace Hopper GP US. Another great example is a recently signed $200 million deal to build a new supercomputer for one of the Japan's largest research institutions AI ST which we will build in collaboration with NVIDIA using our HPE Cray XD systems featuring NVIDIA H 200 tensor core GPUs. At the end of last year, we jointly jointly announced two new innovations.
First, we introduced our two key generative AI uh training solution built on NVIDIA HGX reference architecture designed to train in tune generative AI for large enterprises. And second, we announced a co-engineered preconfigured generative AI solutions specifically for enterprises to quickly fine tune foundation models using private data that can be deployed anywhere. HPE and NVIDIA have a proven track record for delivering innovation. Today we are taking our partnership further. It is with great excitement that we announce NVIDIA AI computing by HPE to accelerate the generative AI industrial revolution. And here to tell us more.
I am very pleased to welcome out a man and a friend who needs no introduction. The founder and CEO of NVIDIA, a driving force of innovation that's changing the world. Justin Juan. Did somebody say partner? Yes, look at this. Is that everybody this HPE go and be there. Isn't this amazing Jensen? Yeah, it's great.
Yeah, it's nice, nice living room. Did you say the living room? Personal living room? OK. I like it. Yeah, we might play something later.
OK. More interesting. But listen all day long, you got all these people staring at you. That's a good way to live. I couldn't believe, I mean, listen, we have people, you know, kind of stuck in the bridge at the bridge, right? And they were telling me, you know, we need to wait another five minutes or so.
I said, OK, let's wait. We want the house full. Look, it's full. In fact, there were supposed to be not all the people on the side because that kind of is not the best view. But boy, we have every seat pretty much taken is amazing. Well, they're here to see you.
Yeah. Yeah, you guys are doing a great job. Yeah, thank you. Thank you for being here. It means a lot to us, but honestly, it means a lot to them, our customers and partners, you know, listen, we just announced the NVIDIA Computing by HPE.
And obviously our focus is to capitalize this amazing opportunity, which is AI but let's talk a little bit about what it means for enterprises, what is for them at the end of the day? Well, when you take a step back, um AI generative AI what's going on in the industry today hasn't happened in 60 years. This is the greatest fundamental computing platform transformation in 60 years from general general purpose computing to accelerated computing, from processing on CP us to processing on CP US plus GP us from instructions engineered instructions to now large language models that are trained on data from instruction driven computing to now intention driven computing, every single layer of the computing stock has been transformed as as we both know very deeply well. And the type of applications that are now possible to write and develop are completely new and the way you develop the application is completely new.
And so every single layer of the computing stack is going through a transition. And that's why from an industrial perspective, it's such a big deal. On the other hand, what's really amazing is a whole new industry has emerged what used to be the IT industry. And
we've seen the creation of a $3 trillion industry which is really driven by the last industrial revolution where we invented the idea as an industry of mass producing software, software is invisible. You can copy as many versions as you like. And yet we've created a $3 trillion industry on that idea. Now, we have a new idea and this new idea is quite extraordinary in the sense that what is being manufactured is still invisible, but it's embedded with intelligence, we call it tokens.
And so what is really extraordinary is the IT industry and the work that we're doing together on the one hand can address uh enterprise computing GP U clouds sovereign AI. But now we also have this new industry that's emerged called AI factories where we're producing intelligence in high volume. And so our industry has been transformed really, really profoundly. And this, we're at the beginning of that. But Jensen, I mean, two years ago, we were not talking about this, but you and I have many conversations over the years and you have this amazing conviction that is a better way and it's not just about technologies is about transforming the business.
And I think, I think the power of this AI revolution, that's why we call it the generative i industrial revolution. As you just talked about it, it transformed the business is transformed society. So when you put yourself in their shoes as a customer. What they need to think through to be successful as an enterprise.
What are the key ingredients that need to think about it? Well, theoretically what AI needs are, are three uh components. Of course, the model, the revolutionary large language model and generative AI models. Uh second computing to go process that. But very importantly, something that all of the enterprises in the world possess.
It's and I I heard you say it earlier and it's completely true. Their most important asset there for companies is your most important asset for countries and different regions. It's your natural resource. You need these three things.
You need model technology, you need data and you need compute. However, that's on a theoretical basis. What you need on a practical basis is you need a model stack, you need a data stack and you need a computing stack.
Each one of those stacks are incredibly complicated. And so the, the work that we've done together is really about products and uh on a really massive and comprehensive uh way that our partnership is working together so that we could product the model, we call them nvidia Nims and the model stack, the data stack which comes from NVIDIA AI enterprise and the data processing the vectorizing of your data semantic embeddings, the retrieval and the deployment we call that NVIDIA AI enterprise and the entire computing stack which has all of the software that goes along with super computing technology. And one of the reasons why this is built in the clouds today because the stack is so complicated between our two companies. We've really turned these three stacks into deployable solutions that you can engage right away. So you know the MVD AI computed by HPE offerings and services. You know, one of the key elements, it will be available through our joint go to market strategy that really spans the sales, the channel.
So here you have 1500 of the most important channel and partner ecosystems as well and we will provide training them obviously, but also today. So you know, we make an announcement that Deloitte HCL emphasis T CS and we pro are coming along our journey and that's really significant because at the core of this, they also need to transform the business. And obviously, there is a variety of a load. And so when I think about that, you know, first is training and certification. So together with Jensen and, and his team, we're gonna train the entire HPE Salesforce, we're gonna show up in front of you as a one company. And when I think about that, there's thousands and thousands of people, thousands and thousands of people just on the specialization side as well as on the pre cell side, which is a huge important role.
And let's say when you engage HPE, you're gonna be working with uh you know, AI experts that have the skill to help you design together with our partner ecosystem, deploy and operate this amazing generative AI solutions together, we are making significant investments to train you as well and the services that you need across the life cycle to turn this NVIDIA computing um initiative a reality. So where do you have skill gaps? We have the the experts to help you ready to support. Second, we also working with Jensen and his team to develop multi levels of comprehensive and optimized solutions to deliver that amazing innovation. And obviously Jensen, you are on the forefront to keep announcing this amazing uh you know, architecture. So obviously, we are now in through you know, the family but the grace hope and now sue Blackwell and uh and and the other ones you know, Ruben and the like. So that's super important. But also at the same time,
we also need to think about uh managing the life cycle of the solution. That's why HPE has unique differentiation with HPE Financial Services. Because ultimately, as the system come to end of life, we can find the right smarter I IT life cycle solutions so that we can help you create the capacity to invest in this amazing innovation. But also make sure we find the right uh use when that asset comes out of your uh environment. So Jensen, this is amazing because I'm super excited about this joint, go to market.
But can you please elaborate, you know, these three elements we talk about. All right, because ultimately this end ends up on an integrated co engineering solution we're gonna announce today. So yeah, these three stacks are incredibly complicated. Uh First of all, you're sitting on a, on a mountain of really valuable data. Uh You want to fine tune your proprietary model.
We have a large collection of public proprietary and uh partnership models that we've created and we take this entire complicated stack and we turn them into NVIDIA inference micro services. Basically a model stack. This model stack is essentially an API it's kind of like a chat bot except we've integrated everything and made up work. And it's now
in essentially a giant container of hundreds of dependencies, incredible amounts of technology, but easy for you to use, you download it, you can fine tune it, guardrail it, you can deploy it. Um And that microservice is now one of the stacks. The second stack that you have is your data stack. This data stack you want to vectorize, bring semantic meaning to it. And so we have technologies for helping you do that, we call Nemo.
You could then take this data stack and connect it to your model stack. This way your model stack becomes an intelligent AI that can interact with chat with retrieve information from your company's private data. And then the third thing is of course, the entire computing stack between us and HPE, we will turn you into a world class AI cloud, a world class AI company. And then of course, those three ingredients are fundamental to AI. But ultimately, you also need the expertise, the domain expertise.
And this is where this network of partners connecting with all of this technology, with a giant go to market. We can now bring AI to the world's enterprises for the very first time, this is a massive partnership and a really comprehensive solution that we can take to the market. So it's a very big deal today and we appreciate the vote of trust and confidence in us because for us, obviously, partner with the best has always been one of our key objectives, but you talk about these three major elements, I call it. And while others have talked about integrating these AI solutions at HPE, we wanted to create something truly unique with you. And so with this is not just bring together the pieces. I always like to talk about widgets or door knobs in the back.
You know, that's very complex for you that that's not how it works. If you want to accelerate this generative I solution, we have to deliver you an experience. And so that's why together with NVIDIA and their amazing portfolio of software and obviously silicon the networking components, we are bringing all these together with the HPE systems, HPE services, the ability to manufacture and service this. I think people forget that because once we go to directly Qui cooling and Jen and I were talking early on, you need to have a water cool manufacturer capability. And HPE has one of the largest water cool manufacturing capabilities on the planet on the planet. Why? Because we have to do it for supercomputers, right? And so now we bring it all together, we democratize with all the things you talk about.
And that's why today it is a pleasure to introduce what we call the first of a kind turnkey private cloud AI solution called develop with NVIDIA. We call it the HPE Private Cloud AI. And this solution provides the deepest integration and this is very important is the deepest integration to date of NVIDIA computing networking and software with HPE Storage and obviously our servers and the HPE GreenLake cloud because ultimately you have to deliver that experience as a cloud experience, right? Unlike any other AI solution out there who are services led, you know, meet the in front of the customer, bring it together, we deliver this as a one integrated product and is ready to uh to run out of the box because that's the key when I say turn key, I mean the simplest experience today for deploying and operating the AI N via software stack in the industry. So how this work Jensen? Because you and I went through it right? There's a plug it in. Few clicks, three clicks, clicks, three clicks, all it takes three clicks. Well, the thing that's really amazing is you say it works right out the box inside that box are CP US, NVIDIA gray CP US, NVIDIA GP US networking, envy link switches, either in Finan or Ethernet or AI switches.
And all of that technology with all of that software, all integrated. Number one, number two, we've made it so that you could have small, medium large, extra large, extra large. And as you know, the more you buy, the more you save. And so everybody more, in fact, you need few of them, the more you buy, the more you save. And so so you want, you want the extra large version, but you can start anywhere.
And this is really, this is really the big deal that we've integrated everything into a uh really easy to use private cloud AI solution. And uh all of the complexity that goes into all the technology has been provided to you hidden from you and it's helping you operate it over time. Remember you're not buying a computer that you're using, you're buying a service and you can own a service that you can operate.
And so that's a very, very big, I'm I'm excited because obviously he, he is a million times better engineer as I am. But when I think about technology is always about the experience, right? So that's why the HPE Private Cloud includes comprehensive multi layer control from both HPE and NVIDIA, right? Because we have to deliver this through a cloud experience and also the most secure sensitive data models, which includes, by the way built in AI data compliance and explain ability. That's very important you want to know from where these models are coming from automated AI pipelines with complete lineage traceability and auditability for the entire AI life cycle. This is one of the things enterprise.
They worry how this thing works where the models are coming from, how attract the data. A single dashboard think about that, a single dashboard to monitor all your AI applications and services. By the way, it supports multi tenant collaboration with unified role based access control to isolate data and approaches across different teams. It is as gen say all built in and at the launch as we just kind of hinted to you HPE Private Cloud AI will be available in four configurations. We are in the United States. So we need to have four
not small medium, we need to go a little bit large but four small medium, large and extra large. And you can see here each of each one of them is flexible, is modular, is has the ability to expand or capacity over time but maintain the consistent cloud manage experience with HPE GreenLake cloud. Many of you already HPE GreenLake customers here whether they using it for deploying an Access Point or a storage array or a server uh or you know a switch. Now you can do the same with this private cloud solution, you know, listen, some customers are gonna start small maybe to try um but also do some infer but also as the use cases multiply, you need all the things like R A and to fine tune into one solution. I think we are gonna offer the most comprehensive solution on the planet because also we can offer as a self manage or as a managed services as a part of HPE GreenLake.
And at the same time, you know, you maintain the consistent operating model, which you know, by the way, is ready to adopt whatever you come up with, which I know you have a lot coming up with, which means it's ready to adopt the latest technologies that Jensen and the team are coming through. So this is in my mind is, is a big deal. So when you think about that Jensen, you know, and think about the next generation, which obviously will support Grace Hopper uh 200 as well as the network. What do you think the enterprises will be looking next once they have the simplicity is all about understanding the use cases and getting in the factory mode to deploy. I think that's what we're trying to do here. Yeah, it's a, it's a really big deal for, for enterprise today.
Uh uh Look, the fact of the matter is we're sitting on a mountain of data, all of us are sitting on a mountain of data we've been collecting it in our businesses for a long time. Uh But until now, we really haven't had the ability to refine that data, discover insight and codify it automatically into our company's digital experience. Our digital intelligence, every company is going to be an intelligence manufacturer. Every company is built fundamentally on domain specific intelligence for the very first time, we can now digitize that intelligence and turn it into our AI the corporate AI the thing that's really profound here is that you could start anywhere small, medium large, extra large, uh they're architecturally completely compatible. And so if you change your mind and you want to do more, everything that you've built yesterday is gonna run seamlessly across the larger systems. And when we go to the next generation system, everything will be CU U A compatible.
This is one of the great disciplines of our company by putting everything on top of cu A this revolutionary invention that we made 20 years ago and having the discipline to maintain CU U A compatibility over all these years, some 15 gen 15 generations. Now, we can make it possible for all of our customers to invest at any point at any scale and carry that investment forward. Now, once you do so remember what AI is AI is a and you mentioned life cycle, it's a life cycle that lives forever.
Yeah, the thing that we are looking to do in all of our companies is to turn our corporate intelligence into digital intelligence. And once we do that, we connect our data and our AI fly wheel so that we collect more data, harvest more insight, create better intelligence which allows us to provide better services or create be more productive inside the company. Run faster, do things more efficiently, do it at a larger scale and very importantly, create new products.
And so so all of that is make is possible because of the things that you're doing we're doing today. The net of all of this to me is that you got to embrace this technology. We understand people have been a little bit wait and see. It wasn't easy for them to embrace it. But with today's announce, we're making it really easy for you.
It's just a rack or maybe two racks you can deploy with everything you need fully integrated. And to me that's super exciting because we give you the tools to accelerate your journey to transform your business. But you know, today is not just that we talk about NVIDIA computing by HPE, we talk about the announcement of HPE Private Cloud AI but also today HPE is committed that we will be time to market with NVIDIA Blackwell and Robin GPU architectures. In addition to all the software that Jensen and team will continue to bring to market.
So as you adopt this one operating model inside GreenLake, it comes with it right, very simple and will be the leading integrator of the most advanced AI systems at any scale in a sustainable way, which is something we both care about it. Because I argue the sooner you adopt this accelerated computing, the more efficient and more sustainable you will because you eliminate all the waste liquid cooling results in higher performance, but also lower infrastructure cost, right, the overhead of all of the liquid to air, air to liquid, all of that is now gone liquid to liquid and and so the future of liquid cooling is going to result in everything from better performance, lower infrastructure costs and lower operating costs. HB is uniquely positioned to deliver direct liquid cooling. So that's why nobody has plumbed more liquid than Antonio.
So there you go. Um And by the way, you need to come see our factor. So you see how good we are on that one. But listen, HPE delivers 100% liquid cooling including the CPU and the GP US and the fabric. I don't think people understand that the fabric today is also liquid cool. Yeah, you know they think about a switch there with a bunch of Ethan reports actually. Now you also run direct liquid cooler to the fabric. And listen, we hold numerous numerous hundreds of patents in the in this particular part of the portfolio.
And listen, we have the expertise to build these large systems of scale as a show early on. But also um you know, we we are, we are really proud to bring this innovation for you together with Jensen. And I think our combined portfolio can achieve amazing results.
And by the way, do it in a circular economy because we can actually capture 100% of the heat that gets wasted. And we have some amazing use cases. We take actually the heat Jensen in some areas and we either power greenhouses in the winter, also power heating systems in buildings.
So they don't waste, you know, other things. So listen, gents, I know we can spend here the whole day. But to wrap us up, you know, what is the key takeaway? You want the audience here, an amazing living room uh that uh of this partnership. Well, one, the era of generative AI is here, you must engage the single most consequential technology in history. You must translate and cond codify your company's intelligence into digital intelligence and you must find a way as quickly as possible to turn that flywheel of your company's experience into your company's AI as quickly as possible. That's number one, number two, our partnership with HPE is about simplifying all of this incredibly complicated technology in three stacks, the data stack, the model stack, the computing stack turned it into this private cloud so that you could operate it or you could um be get the benefit from it with all of that complexity being extracted from you so that we could help you apply all of the great technology for in service of you.
And then lastly, this giant go to market. Exactly. Giant go to market people, people. Yeah, this network of ecosystem of partners and service providers. And we're gonna because of this, make it possible for the first time to bring generative AI to every single company in the world. Thank you now and Jensen and I are gonna be on the show floor later. Uh Demons
not demonstrated because we'll have time but going through the demos which are amazing. We have an amazing show floor. Please go there. But listen, what Jensen and I do is in service to you our customers. When we connect the power of our joint innovation, the expertise and the greatness of our partnership with NVIDIA to your enterprise Intelligence has no limits right in intelligence.
So thank you Jason for inspiring us. It's great to have him here, an amazing innovator force for changing the world. And for me is a pleasure and honor always to learn from you. Thank you very much. Thank you, Antonio Go HPE.
Go on video. All right guys, we're on your team. So again, at the center of what we have developed with NVIDIA is the most simple experience to advance AI that's what it's all about for you. We delivered the experience through our HPE GreenLake cloud and it sets HPE apart from all others.
HPE GreenLake is the leader in hybrid cloud one of the crown jewels of HPE GreenLake is our acquisition of Ops- Ramp, which we have now fully integrated into our cloud platform. It provides full observable for multi vendor environments including some of the other vendors like Cisco Dell Netapp pure and many, many others as well as your public cloud instances. And today we announced three major updates from ops ramp. The first one sr now supports full stack AI infrastructure to overload observ ability.
So Jensen and I just talked about it. That means you can observe now this private cloud AI solution which includes NVIDIA GP US AI clusters, NVIDIA DGX systems, NVIDIA Mellanox in Finan and Spectrum X internet switches. Second, we introduced an AI ops copilot, an AI operations copilot feature.
It is actually a natural language interface that enables enterprises to identify predict and solve IT problems more quickly by converting machine learning data into actionable insights. The operations AI assistant combines the observable signal from specific AI models developed by OPS ramp with a generative AI conversational assistant to digest large data sets and provide insights in real time. And finally, to provide more security observable across your loads, we announce a new integration with crowds track APIs. So customers can see a unified service map view of endpoint securities across the entire Hybrid IT infrastructure and applications. As you can see, we are not just keeping pace with the future of AI operations, we are leading the industry and then there is the data, we just talked with Jensen about that, right.
So you need to protect the data. And so our acquisition of zero provides edge to cloud disaster recovery and cyber resilience. Another aspect of our HPE GreenLake differentiation is also a cloud native approach, providing you with flexibility and choice of runtime environments including bare metal Containers and virtualization. And today we announce a new HPE developed virtualization capability for our private cloud portfolio.
What is it? It combines an industry standard K VM hypervisor that has been hardened for enterprise with HPE's innovative cluster orchestration software to support the high performance and availability requirements of enterprise workloads. And it complements the HPE's model software container servers and extends to cloud native and a war loads. The adoption of HPE GreenLake is accelerating today. HPE relay connects more than 4 million network devices and a lot of storage and compute systems supporting more than 34,000 unique customer organizations to transform their business. Just look at what HPE GreenLake is doing for the Harry Reid International Airport right here in Las Vegas. As you came through, it is powering a future ready more secure infrastructure to meet the evolving Wi-Fi needs of the millions and millions of travelers who must stay connected and when it comes to world class sports teams and sports venues, HPE GreenLake is in a league of its own.
We are fanatical about optimizing sport experiences and deepening connections between the fans and the teams they love in Rome. The 2020 23 Ryder Cup leveraged the power of HPE GreenLake to deliver an exceptional farm experience to more than 250,000 Spectators. Over that weekend, the world class golf course was transformed into a smart city, a super smart city, bringing unable secure connectivity to fans so they can follow the dramatic moments at every hall for sure, for the United States players, it didn't work well. But
for Tottenham hotspur, HPE GreenLake and our network and infrastructure enables the premier league club to deliver an amazing differentiated fun experience and generate. At the same time, greater revenue by using data technology is an integral to is integral to growth, innovation and global expansion of sports organization as well. And our demonstrator leadership in this space caught the attention of a very iconic football team. Just last week, I announced that HPE signed a partnership agreement to become the new official edge to cloud partner of Espai Barca.
HPE HPE will provide state of the art technology for Espai Barca. The team's completed renovated stadium which is in progress, which is called the Spotify Cup. Now at the new Espai Barca mega Complex, which is the largest and most innovative sports and entertainment space in any European city, a truly spectacular venue.
Power and the reimagine a fan experience is HPE GreenLake cloud, HPE Aruba Networking and our hybrid cloud solutions. And in the future, they will be also deploying AI these are cutting edge innovation that will take the match operations uh during the day to a whole new level and create an immersive experience that will leave visitors in awe. Let us take a look at how we supercharge, the fun experience of many with HPE GreenLake. Let's play the video
every day. The doors open to fans passionate about their favorite sport at the most innovative stadiums and arenas of today and the future at the racetrack along manicured greens, even in the virtual world of gaming, streaming in to see their favorite player track, the fastest live by the latest merge to have an experience that feels exciting, personalized and safe. Every moment. These dynamic arenas open to infinite possibilities for coaches to analyze film engineers to monitor weather patterns, for the teams behind the scenes, to optimize operations all towards an experience that's entertaining and seamless. This is what we unlock when intelligence has no limits with HBE GreenLake and AI scores of data points are collected and analyzed across the entire enterprise in real time. So the fan experience evolves with the game, keeping them connected on and off the course.
