HPE Innovation Day - 30 January 2025

The vision of HPE and NVIDIA: Private Cloud AI

Wouldn't it be great if there was a "turnkey" solution that allows you to quickly and securely start your AI project without having to piece together all the necessary components? In this session, HPE and NVIDIA will explain how this is possible with the new HPE Private Cloud AI, co-engineered with NVIDIA – including demo! In addition to the hardware foundation, NVIDIA's software approach (featuring various frameworks) will also be extensively covered.

Speakers: Guido Trampe, AI Solution Specialist, HPE and Igor Soltysik, Channel Solutions Architect Benelux & Nordics at NVIDIA

Building secure AI networks of the future

To train AI models and clusters, you need to feed them with a large amount of a variated Enterprise DATA. A vast majority of this DATA comes from people, devices and things that connect to a network from different places. To support this you need to have the right architecture to Connect, Protect and Automate your network from anywhere for anyone. You’ll get an overview how to build a secure network of the future for harvesting AI DATA using the latest wireless & switching technology for your Campus and Data Center. Finally we will help the IT operators to manage and automate these Enterprise networks leveraging the power of AI for Networking, powered by HPE Aruba Networking Central.

Speaker: Guido Kragten, Business Development AI Powered Networking. HPE Aruba Networking

Discover the real alternative to the status quo in virtualization: HPE VM Essentials

Innovation vs. Security in AI: how do you find the right balance?

Keeping AI secure and manageable is becoming an increasingly significant challenge. How can you benefit from AI’s potential without posing risks to your organization? How do you handle cybersecurity and data protection? In this session, we will discuss how to address these challenges while maximizing the benefits of AI. We will explore the best ways to ensure cybersecurity and governance, and how to find the right balance between innovation and security. How can you safely use and adopt AI? How do you securely build AI models, and how can your cybersecurity teams leverage AI to protect your organization? In this session, you will gain insights and practical tips on "Secure adoption of AI."

Speaker: Simon Leech,Director, Cybersecurity Center of Excellence, HPE

Data: the foundation in the world of AI

The right data is, of course, the foundation of any AI solution. Incorrect data leads to incorrect output. But like most organizations, your data is probably spread across multiple locations or trapped in silos. So, the question is: where is the best place to store data securely (and quickly), and how can you consolidate it effectively? How can you safely use data in an AI environment and optimize hardware usage for AI applications? In this session, our specialists will provide practical tips and insights.

Speaker: Remko Westrik, Solution Architect, HPE

How to protect against cyber crime and recover fast after an attack

Cybercriminals are not only targeting your primary systems, but also your backups. Are you truly prepared for this? And how quickly can you recover? In this session, we will discuss how to prevent data loss and recover quickly to minimize damage. You will gain valuable insights and practical tools. We will cover:

• How to implement robust security that provides protection and accelerates recovery
• Advanced HPE solutions, such as continuous data protection, one-to-many replication, and a clean room in the Vault
• How to align your security strategies with the stricter NIS2 guidelines
