Enable your AI journey to AI-at-scale with solutions from HPE and NVIDIA®

Artificial Intelligence promises every innovation that businesses want to implement —automated processes, increased efficiencies, and better customer experiences. But it can be difficult to get started. Companies looking to begin their journey into the world of AI, will need robust technology that doesn’t break the bank. That includes accelerated GPUs, secure and stable servers, AI/ML software, and a private or hybrid cloud environment.

With these foundational elements, any business can get started building out the solutions that will help them achieve or sustain industry leadership. In the financial sector, for instance, banks use AI to detect fraud. Artificial intelligence is also a useful technology to streamline customer onboarding, loan processing, and account opening — especially during periods of peak demand. In the medical field, healthcare professionals use AI-enabled solutions to monitor the condition of patients from anywhere, and even perform diagnoses outside of the hospital. AI also improves the drug discovery pipeline by identifying characteristics of compounds interacting with cells and proposing potential candidate treatments. Meanwhile, manufacturers leverage AI-based video analytics at the edge to improve quality, safety, efficiency, and productivity in the assembly line, leading to cost savings and improved business performance.

Some of the most exciting innovations enabled by AI include LLMs and NLP. From search engines to advanced customer support chatbots, these technologies will define the future of business as we know it. “These models broaden AI’s reach across industries and enterprises and are expected to enable a new wave of research, creativity and productivity, as they can help to generate complex solutions for the world’s toughest problems,” was recently reported in a NVIDIA blog[ii].

To create, optimize, and run these models cost-effectively, enterprises that are more mature in their AI practice need technology that enables predictive maintenance, energy-efficient computing, and data center optimization.

More accurate cancer screening results, faster drug discoveries against new pandemics, self-driving cars, automated face and speech recognition, traffic management, and car safety are some of the advances that AI-at-scale helps innovate. Whether it is developing a large language model that establishes AI accuracy while supporting multi-language diversity or developing a drug discovery platform that industrializes new drug discovery, AI-at-scale solutions from HPE enable ML practitioners to focus on developing AI/ML models to make critical breakthroughs. AI-at-scale capabilities also advance popular use cases involving natural language processing, computer vision, and video and image processing that are growing across industries such as transportation, life sciences, defense, financial services, and manufacturing.

For both entry-level and mature enterprises, HPE has been a trusted partner for delivering the processing power, security, and innovation required to execute AI workloads. With a foundation of HPE ProLiant Gen11 compute and NVIDIA GPUs, delivered through HPE GreenLake, businesses can rapidly bring AI models into production, train machine learning algorithms, and make tangible operational improvements.

At this year’s NVIDIA GTC, a global AI conference running online March 20-23, you can learn all about the launch of the new HPE ProLiant DL380a Gen11 server, which offers an intuitive cloud operating experience, trusted security by design, and optimized performance to accelerate workloads. For additional information about the new HPE ProLiant DL380a Gen11 server, built to accelerate AI workloads, you can read our recently published blog.

This server, with a new front-end GPU cage that hosts up to four (4) double-wide GPUs in a 2U industry-standard server, is another great example of HPE’s continued commitment to innovation”, says Joseph George, HPE Vice President of Compute, Industry & Strategic Alliance Marketing. “It also addresses the growing need for graphics-intensive workload solutions. GPU-to-GPU communication, addressed by technologies like NVIDIA NVLink, increases throughput and enables shared GPU memory, which in turn improves performance and enables efficient resource utilization.

And our solution doesn’t stop at the server. NVIDIA has created a next-generation GPU that perfectly aligns with the HPE AI solution stack. The NVIDIA L4 Tensor Core GPU, powered by the NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture, is a universal, energy-efficient accelerator designed to meet AI needs — and more — with video, visual computing, graphics, and virtualization for workloads including cloud gaming, simulation, and data science. It’s a true universal GPU in a low-profile form factor that delivers a cost-effective, energy-efficient solution for high throughput and low latency in every server, from the edge to the data center to the cloud.

HPE understands AI-at-scale like no other technology company. We’re invested in the frontiers of AI/ML model data management, training, and inference capabilities, and we’re equally committed to help whole industries leverage ethical applications. We’ve built the machines that handle the most complex AI/ML/DL problems in the world, and make them accessible within an HPE Machine Learning Development Environment — a machine-learning software that enables users to rapidly develop, iterate, and scale high-quality models from proof-of-concept to production. The HPE Machine Learning Development Environment runs on anything from a laptop to systems running 1000’s of GPUs, and seamlessly scales model training across multiple systems and GPUs without rewriting infrastructure code.

In addition, with the recent acquisition of Pachyderm, HPE expands its AI-at-scale portfolio with reproducible AI capabilities. Reproducing a machine learning pipeline is critical to AI-at-scale initiatives as it enables use of the same dataset to achieve the same results each time it is applied to increase transparency, trustworthiness, and accuracy in predictions, while optimizing time and resources. With Pachyderm technology, HPE delivers an end-to-end machine learning software platform to enable mission critical AI-at-scale solutions. By integrating Pachyderm, HPE helps customers deliver more accurate and performant AI-at-scale applications with the benefits of data lineage, data versioning, and efficient incremental data processing.

To get the most out of your servers and GPUs, we recommend running AI workloads on HPE GreenLake, the edge-to-cloud platform that powers data-first modernization. With HPE GreenLake for AI, ML and analytics, you can control and harness data from the edge in a secure private or hybrid cloud environment — all delivered as a service — to help achieve peak efficiency, cut down on costs, and fortify your valuable data. Large-scale model training is suited for the cloud model because prototypes can be tested quickly, and deployments can be scaled up without having to set up the infrastructure. Plus, accelerators can be selected to best meet the needs of different models.
