Hewlett Packard Enterprise has unveiled a groundbreaking unified data layer for AI, alongside deeper collaboration with NVIDIA, at the NVIDIA GTC 2025. This announcement marks a significant leap forward in enterprise data management, promising quicker time to insight through seamless access, built-in intelligence, and governed control of multi-vendor, multicloud data via HPE GreenLake cloud.
Fidelma Russo, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Hybrid Cloud and CTO at HPE. “Our approach for harnessing highly distributed, hybrid data in collaboration with NVIDIA gives organizations a competitive edge, while accelerating time to value.”
The new unified data layer integrates both structured and unstructured data, accelerating the AI data lifecycle with HPE’s high-performance data fabric and sophisticated data intelligence. This innovation, when combined with the new NVIDIA AI Data Platform, enables organizations to intelligently feed their AI applications, models, and agents with AI-ready data.
“To thrive in the agentic AI era, data management must undergo a fundamental shift. With our unified data layer, intelligent storage, and HPE Private Cloud AI, enterprises can run AI at scale—wherever their data lives,” said Fidelma Russo, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Hybrid Cloud and CTO at HPE. “Our approach for harnessing highly distributed, hybrid data in collaboration with NVIDIA gives organizations a competitive edge, while accelerating time to value.”
Justin Boitano, Vice President, Enterprise Software at NVIDIA, echoed this sentiment, stating, “NVIDIA and HPE are working together to pave the way for AI agents to connect to business knowledge through high-performance intelligent data infrastructure. The AI data platforms we’re building together will enable enterprises to leverage their data during inference to power AI reasoning that delivers insights and drives action.”
Transforming the AI Data Pipeline
The collaboration between HPE and NVIDIA aims to address the fragmented and distributed nature of enterprise data, which often limits AI-driven insights. By integrating HPE’s unified data layer with the NVIDIA AI Data Platform, the partnership seeks to transform the entire pipeline of data, from edge to cloud, into actionable intelligence.
Key enhancements include the HPE Alletra Storage MP X10000, which speeds data pipelines with built-in intelligence, and the HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000, which adds unified block and file storage, software-defined cloud storage on Microsoft Azure, and integrated ransomware detection and recovery. Additionally, HPE GreenLake for File Storage is now validated for enterprise AI Factories with the new NVIDIA-Certified Storage Program.
The intelligent, unified data layer is designed to expedite data flow across HPE GreenLake cloud and multi-vendor, multicloud environments. This ensures that AI models are consistently supplied with optimized, high-quality data, crucial for effective AI applications.
“The VodafoneZiggo vision is to transform into an autonomous network driven by data and AI, with a Network Data Hub (NDH) for Assurance Data,” said Jannie Minnema, Head of Operational Support Systems Assurance and Tools at VodafoneZiggo. “The HPE Data Fabric is the foundation of our NDH, enabling our journey towards secure and seamless connectivity. HPE Data Fabric supports us to deliver data-as-a-service with data unification, governance, intelligence, orchestration, and transformation.”
As enterprises continue to navigate the complexities of AI and data management, the collaboration between HPE and NVIDIA represents a significant step forward in harnessing the power of AI to drive business insights and innovation.
