HPE Discover 2025 Recap: Unleashing Hybrid Cloud and Agentic AI

As the dust settles on the HPE Discover Conference 2025, it’s clear that Hewlett Packard Enterprise is rapidly transforming the enterprise landscape. From hybrid cloud commitments to Agentic AIOps and AI-factory solutions, this year’s announcements paint a vivid picture of a future where infrastructure, operations, and intelligence converge. Here’s your comprehensive recap of what’s new and what’s next.

Hybrid Cloud Innovation and the GreenLake Evolution

Hybrid cloud remains the foundation of HPE’s vision, with several initiatives enhancing flexibility, consumption and management:

• HPE Cloud Commit program establishes predictable, subscription-based consumption models for multi-cloud deployments.

• GreenLake platform updates deliver expanded services, tighter integrations and expanded API capabilities.

• GreenLake Intelligence introduces agentic AIOps that proactively identify, diagnose and remediate issues across on-premises and cloud environments.

• Agentic AI Networking through Aruba Networking Central brings self-healing, policy-driven network management to both campus and data center deployments.

Expanding Observability

HPE doubled down on its software portfolio to simplify hybrid cloud operations:

• OpsRamp innovations offer unified observability and IT operations management across vendor-agnostic hardware, software and cloud resources.

• Morpheus Orchestration and the VM Essentials hypervisor platform improve features and hardware compatibility while also gaining third-party support, cementing their growing role in container and VM lifecycle management.

• CloudPhysics Plus emerges as a powerful assessment tool for workload placement, cost optimization and capacity planning for both on-prem and public-cloud environments.

Pioneering AI Solutions and Infrastructure

AI was omnipresent at Discover, spanning from data pipelines to customized hardware:

• The HPE AI Factory portfolio brings pre-validated, end-to-end solutions for data preparation, model training and inference.

• Alletra Storage MP X10000, coupled with Model Context Protocol, accelerates inferencingby tightly integrating storage and AI models.

• HPE Private Cloud AI (PCAI) expands with online labs and development kits, enabling partners and customers to prototype AI workloads on-premises.  Future PCAI multi-tenancy capabilities were also announced.

• Next-gen disconnected systems provide secure, isolated environments for regulated or remote sites.

Compute Advancements

Compute infrastructure sees significant performance and management boosts:

• HPE Compute XD690 sets new benchmarks for GPU-dense workloads, designed for AI training at scale.

• ProLiant Gen12 servers with AMD EPYC and VM Essentials deliver streamlined virtualization, enhanced security and automated patching.

• Compute Ops Management tools unify firmware, driver and hardware lifecycle workflows across edge, core and cloud.

Key Takeaways from HPE Discover 2025

• Organizations should begin to embrace agentic AI tools now and marry governance, security and GenAI use cases.

• Leverage GreenLake Intelligence and Aruba Central for proactive ITOps and network management.

• Use the Sayers Center of Excellence to test drive Morpheus Orchestration and VM Essentials proof-of-concepts with real-world use cases.

• Focus on ProLiant Gen11/Gen12 servers and Alletra MP models to drive consolidation, performance, and cyber-security features.

Conclusion: Charting the Path Forward

HPE Discover 2025 reaffirmed that hybrid cloud and AI are inseparable. Organizations that adopt agentic AIOps, modern consumption models and AI-ready infrastructure will outpace their peers. For Sayers and our customers, the roadmap is clear: accelerate AI enablement, modernize legacy platforms and deliver outcomes that blend operational excellence with intelligent automation.
