Celebrating a decade of groundbreaking innovation at HPE Discover 2025

By Antonio Neri, President & CEO, Hewlett Packard Enterprise

• HPE marked its 10th anniversary as a standalone company with a bold new brand and a clear message: We are the essential partner for the AI era, helping you move faster, scale smarter, and unlock new possibilities
•  
• From networking to hybrid cloud to AI, we introduced innovations that simplify IT, reduce cost and complexity, and turn ambition into outcomes
•  
• HPE’s mission is rooted in partnership and impact, using technology not just to transform businesses, but to shape a better future for all

HPE Discover 2025 came to a close, and it was an incredible week spent strengthening connections with customers and partners and showcasing our leading products and services. This year we also celebrated a decade of advancements in networking, hybrid cloud, and AI that have made HPE the essential partner for the AI era. In our first 10 years as a standalone company, we have truly become pioneers of possibility.

Delivering my keynote address at the world’s most immersive venue, Sphere, for the second year in a row was the perfect way to launch our new HPE brand and introduce our latest innovations.  Our new brand is a bold expression of our purpose, our people, and the impact we are making. Seeing the new HPE logo light up the Las Vegas sky from the venue’s Exosphere underscored the enormous possibilities in front of us and the significant reach and impact we have.

Ambition as the driving force

In 2025, AI continues to quickly enable us with new ways to live, work, and create – and is a powerful complement to human ambition, the true driving force behind innovation.

Generative AI has rapidly transformed our work processes, enabling us to create faster, smarter, and more efficiently. With a single prompt, we can now bring our imagination to life. Agentic AI is no longer just a tool; it actively engages, automates workflows, makes real-time decisions, and drives business efficiency. Soon, IT will manage a digital workforce of thousands of specialized AI agents working across the enterprise. Physical AI is taking these advancements into the material world, from robots to autonomous vehicles to industrial automation. These shifts mark a new era of AI-driven business and societal transformation.

At HPE, we unlock your ambition by simplifying complexity, bridging distances with connectivity, and leveraging the power of our incredible portfolio to improve the world. Our strategy is built on three essential building blocks for modern IT: Networking, to connect data more securely and efficiently; hybrid cloud, to provide the flexibility to run workloads where it makes the most sense; and AI, to enable the full value of data to accelerate outcomes.

Delivering value with comprehensive solutions

With more than 200 sessions on networking, hybrid cloud, and AI, along with technical programs, training classes, live demos, theater sessions, workshops, and interactive labs, HPE Discover 2025 offered attendees valuable insights and discoveries throughout the week. During our many discussions with customers and partners, one message was clear: organizations need help simplifying the complexities of multi-generational, multi-domain, and multi-vendor IT.

• GreenLake Intelligence is the answer, unifying networking, cloud, and AI in one intelligent platform with a cutting-edge approach to embedding agentic, AI-powered operations into hybrid IT environments. It is a network of intelligent AI agents that work together to monitor, reason, and act across your hybrid estate. These agents are trained on vast datasets—from telemetry to configuration logs—and are designed to behave like a team of specialized digital administrators. With native support for Model Context Protocol (MCP) agents share learnings, coordinate plans, and maintain continuity across domains. It is like having a team of AI admins that run 24/7, never tires, and always learns.

• This week we also unveiled a new suite of AI factory solutions with NVIDIA to accelerate global AI adoption. The centerpiece is the next-generation HPE Private Cloud AI, a turnkey platform designed to simplify enterprise AI deployment with features like secure enclaves, air-gapped management, and multi-tenancy.
•  
• Our ProLiant Gen12 server portfolio expanded with two new models powered by 5th Gen AMD EPYC processors, doubling memory capacity to 6TB for virtualization and edge workloads. These servers feature enhanced security with HPE iLO 7, including protection against quantum computing threats. New AI-driven capabilities in HPE Compute Ops Management improve visibility, reduce downtime, and simplify multi-vendor server management. We also introduced support for Morpheus VM Essentials Software to cut virtualization costs and added the compact DL145 Gen11 server for Azure Local, optimized for edge environments like retail and healthcare.

Reflecting on the impactful announcements we made this week, we are inspired by how our solutions are driving innovation and enhancing customer experiences, like the collaboration between Inter Miami CF and Miami Freedom Park, a new benchmark for smart stadiums. HPE's cutting-edge technologies are transforming the stadium and entertainment district into a dynamic, adaptive environment that enhances both fan engagement and operational efficiency. HPE Aruba Networking, GreenLake cloud, and Alletra Storage, will deliver a seamless, personalized fan experience through high-speed connectivity, real-time data insights, and immersive digital services, transforming Miami Freedom Park into a dynamic, adaptive environment that enhances both fan engagement and operational efficiency.
