HPE and Nvidia deepen partnership with hybrid AI offerings [Video]

Without a doubt, the winner of the generative artificial intelligence boom thus far has been Nvidia Corp. Now the company is joining forces with Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. to give enterprises the complete AI stack. HPE and Nvidia have paired the former’s expertise in on-premises solutions with the latter’s cutting-edge hardware.

Since enterprises often keep their private data on-prem, industry-specific models such as Nvidia inference microservices are the future, according to Neil MacDonald (pictured, right), executive vice president and general manager of the Compute Business Unit at HPE.

“For enterprises to be successful with generative AI, they have to pursue either fine-tuning a model based on their own data, which they’re going to do on-prem, or leveraging retrieval augmented generation,” he said. “We’ve integrated into private cloud AI our data fabric that enables you to pull that together from those disparate sources in order to underpin that work. But that tuning, or RAG, or the development of small specialized models in that company …
