As always, HPE Discover Las Vegas brought forward a vision for what’s next in enterprise IT. Only this year, the vision is clearer, bolder and more focused than ever before. From AI-native infrastructure to security-first hybrid cloud, HPE’s announcements at Discover 2025 prove one thing: the future isn’t about more technology, but more intelligent operations.
HPE Discover 2024 laid the groundwork for AI and hybrid cloud adoption, HPE Discover 2025 showed what it looks like when those ambitions go mainstream.
DTP Group experts were on the ground in Vegas to absorb it all, and there’s plenty to be excited about. Here’s our take on the standout moments and what they mean for organisations looking to modernise, optimise, and scale with confidence.
Overview of Changes
This year’s HPE Discover conference was all about control; giving IT teams more visibility, better decision-making tools, and end-to-end automation across hybrid environments. HPE is doubling down on intelligence, security, and scale. The innovations unveiled show that HPE is setting the pace in tech.
From the launch of GreenLake Intelligence to updates across private cloud AI and the official close of the Juniper Networks acquisition, it’s clear HPE is rearchitecting the way infrastructure is built, operated, and secured.
Let’s break it down.
GreenLake Intelligence transforms GreenLake cloud into an agentic-AI-powered hybrid cloud
One of the most exciting launches from the keynote was HPE GreenLake Intelligence – an AI-powered, intelligent operations layer built directly into the GreenLake platform. Think of it as a smart assistant for your hybrid IT estate, combining telemetry, AI, and domain expertise to automate decisions and drive real-time optimisation.
For enterprise teams tired of toggling between dashboards, GreenLake Intelligence introduces a single, unified control plane. It gives IT leaders the power to:
- Predict demand and performance bottlenecks
- Identify and respond to anomalies across infrastructure
- Automate repetitive tasks
- Optimise cloud spend and resource allocation
This is no longer about simply managing workloads. It’s enabling autonomous operations. HPE refers to this as an “agentic AI” approach where the system takes action independently based on business intent and learned context.
In practice, this could transform how organisations approach hybrid cloud strategy, and for DTP customers, this means we can deliver even greater value through smarter hybrid cloud architectures that adapt in real time.
HPE Private Cloud AI 2.0: Scaling from pilot to production – faster
AI projects often stall between proof of concept and deployment. HPE is tackling this head-on with Private Cloud AI 2.0, the latest evolution of its AI-native infrastructure offering. The goal? Accelerate the transition from experimentation to enterprise-scale AI. The new platform simplifies infrastructure for training, tuning, and deploying AI models, supporting both open-source and commercial LLMs. It’s optimised for NVIDIA and AMD GPUs, with built-in observability and lifecycle management tools.
This move will be especially useful for customers pursuing AI initiatives in-house while navigating security, data privacy, and compliance requirements. HPE’s emphasis on choice across cloud, compute, and frameworks aligns well with how we support our clients at DTP. Whether you’re building foundational models or deploying AI into core business workflows, this update removes friction and speeds up time to value.
Security remains central to HPE’s DNA
As infrastructure grows more distributed, so does the attack surface. HPE made it clear that security isn’t an add-on, it’s integrated throughout its architecture.
This year’s announcements reinforced HPE’s Zero Trust-first posture across three critical areas:
- At the edge: HPE Aruba Networking is enabling microsegmentation and policy-based access, safeguarding devices at the perimeter.
- In the network: Enhanced AI-driven threat detection from the Aruba portfolio enables proactive response to anomalous behaviour.
- In the vault: The Zerto Cyber Resilience Vault, powered by HPE Alletra and ProLiant, was spotlighted again as a key part of HPE’s data protection stack.
For organisations that can’t afford downtime, these layers of security are essential. At DTP, we’ve long advocated for an infrastructure approach where security is embedded by design and HPE’s direction aligns perfectly.
The Juniper Networks merger has gone ahead
It’s official: HPE and Juniper Networks are now one.
This strategic merger brings AI-native networking into sharper focus, enhancing HPE’s edge-to-cloud portfolio with Juniper’s industry-leading AI-driven operations and network automation.
For customers, this means deeper visibility, better performance, and simplified management across increasingly complex enterprise networks. Expect tighter integration with HPE GreenLake and Aruba Networking, and a stronger foundation for secure, scalable digital experiences both in the data centre and at the edge.
A Summary: More intelligence, more integration
HPE Discover 2025 was a showcase of momentum. Across every announcement, a few themes stood out:
- HPE is all-in on intelligent operations. Whether you’re managing a data centre, deploying edge infrastructure, or scaling AI models – automation and autonomy are the new normal.
- Security continues to evolve with the threat landscape. From Zero Trust networking to air-gapped vaults, HPE is ensuring every layer of infrastructure is protected.
Innovation is practical, not hype. Everything announced, from GreenLake Intelligence to Private Cloud AI 2.0, is designed to solve real-world enterprise challenges.
At DTP, we’re excited about what this means for our customers. Whether you’re modernising your IT environment, investing in next-gen digital experiences, or pushing forward with AI initiatives, HPE’s roadmap offers powerful tools – and we’re here to help you make the most of them.
