HPE Discover 2025 Debuts AI-Driven Automation Across Cloud, Storage, and Networking

HPE Discover 2025 Brings More AI Power to IT Operations

At its recent Discover conference, HPE introduced a broad range of AI-driven integrations that touch cloud, operations, storage, and networking. These developments signal a clear shift toward automating IT management using intelligent systems.

HPE’s CEO Antonio Neri described GreenLake Intelligence as “like having extra admins each tuned to a specific part of your IT.” This statement captures the direction HPE is taking: embedding AI deeply into infrastructure to reduce manual intervention and improve efficiency.

Transforming IT Operations for Modern Demands

Since splitting from HP Inc. a decade ago, HPE has shifted from being a traditional hardware vendor to a platform provider focused on AI-first infrastructure. This year's conference highlighted their move toward autonomous IT operations, aiming to remove human bottlenecks from complex environments.

Many enterprises still run legacy systems alongside cloud environments, struggling to integrate AI effectively. HPE’s approach is to replace reactive, manual management with proactive, AI-powered automation across the entire IT stack, simplifying operations and speeding up problem resolution.

Key Announcements from HPE Discover 2025

• GreenLake Intelligence: An agentic AI framework using domain-specific large language models (LLMs) trained on vast HPE telemetry data.
• CloudOps Software Suite: Combines Morpheus, OpsRamp, and Zerto into a single, flexible hybrid cloud management package.
• Model Context Protocol (MCP) Integration: Native MCP servers now embedded in Alletra Storage MP X10000 arrays for AI agent communication.
• Aruba Networking Central Agentic Mesh: Autonomous network analysis and remediation powered by cross-domain reasoning AI agents.
• Private Cloud AI Multi-Tenancy: Enables resource isolation and quota management tailored for enterprise AI workloads.
• ProLiant Gen12 Server Expansion: Added support for the latest AMD EPYC processors alongside Intel Xeon and NVIDIA accelerators.

GreenLake Intelligence: AI as Your IT Admin Team

GreenLake Intelligence stands out as a major innovation. It deploys AI agents trained on years of HPE’s telemetry, configuration, and support data to manage IT infrastructure autonomously. These agents monitor the entire IT stack, detect issues, alert the right teams, and often fix problems automatically.

Neri explained that these AI admins “never sleep, never eat, always working for you,” creating a network that self-monitors, diagnoses, and improves over time. The system’s strength lies in HPE's control over the full infrastructure stack and its support for the Model Context Protocol, which allows AI agents to coordinate and share insights across different domains seamlessly.

Unified Hybrid Cloud Management with CloudOps Suite

HPE also unveiled its CloudOps Software suite, which integrates three key acquisitions—Zerto (data protection), OpsRamp (monitoring and automation), and Morpheus (workload orchestration)—into one streamlined package. This addresses customer concerns about deployment complexity by offering flexible sizing and an all-in-one hybrid cloud management experience.

Agentic Mesh for Autonomous Network Operations

Network management is another focus area. Aruba Networking Central now deploys AI agents that continuously analyze and resolve network issues. These agents, trained on data from millions of devices, can quickly identify root causes and recommend precise fixes.

For example, the system detected authentication failures affecting dozens of clients, traced the problem to specific device settings, and suggested configuration changes—all autonomously. This reduces hours of manual troubleshooting and keeps networks running smoothly.

AI-Native Storage with Model Context Protocol

HPE’s Alletra Storage MP X10000 introduces AI-powered storage featuring built-in MCP servers. This allows the storage array to participate actively in AI workflows.

Every data object written becomes instantly available to retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, enabling AI agents to access up-to-date information with minimal latency. This shift turns storage from a passive system into an intelligent component within AI data pipelines, improving accuracy and speed.

ProLiant Gen12 Servers Expand Performance and Efficiency

Finally, HPE expanded its ProLiant Gen12 server lineup to include support for the latest AMD EPYC processors alongside Intel Xeon and NVIDIA accelerators. These servers deliver significant efficiency gains.

Neri noted that one Gen12 server can now replace seven older Generation 10 servers, cutting power and cooling costs by up to 65% annually. This upgrade offers a practical way to reduce operational expenses while boosting performance.

These announcements underscore a clear message: AI is becoming integral to IT operations, automating routine tasks and enabling teams to focus on strategic priorities. For operations professionals looking to stay current, exploring AI-driven infrastructure management tools is now essential.
