This CRN article by Steven Burke breaks down the wave of next-generation HPE Nvidia AI Factory solutions HPE unveiled at Nvidia's GTC conference, including the second generation of HPE Private Cloud AI, a new air-gapped capability for HPE's Alletra Storage MP X10000, and agentic AI governance functionality for HPE's Data Fabric. HPE's Robin Braun frames the launch around helping customers overcome AI's high failure rates: the AI Factory approach is aimed at delivering "more measurable and predictable" outcomes for organizations plagued by fragmented AI goals and strategies. Burke cites HPE-funded research finding that while 22% of organizations operationalized AI in the past year, fewer than half consider their deployment efforts a success. A highlight of the coverage is the SHI-led HPE Private Cloud AI smart city solution for Vail, Colorado, which HPE executives single out as a role-model deployment — with SHI acting as the "quarterback" piloting the full-stack solution from start to finish and building the ecosystem of HPE Unleash AI partners. As CRN details, the Vail smart city solution was co-developed with Nvidia; BlackShark.ai for geospatial AI and early fire detection; Kamiwaza, described as an automation and real-time decision-making software provider; ProHawk AI for enhanced computer vision; and Vaidio for real-time video intelligence. The result automates city functions from traffic control and skiing events to parking and weather response. For the channel audience, the piece maps HPE's AI Factory strategy and the partner ecosystem — including Kamiwaza — bringing agentic AI to the public sector. Read the full article on CRN.
