HP Inc. today announced a collaboration with Red Hat, the world's leading provider of open-source solutions, to give organizations more choice in where AI workloads run, whether locally, in the cloud or across both environments. In collaboration with Red Hat, HP is developing an open, enterprise-grade AI platform to deliver purpose-built AI infrastructure powered by Red Hat AI Factory with NVIDIA.

HP's open enterprise-grade AI platform aims to help companies maximize local AI inference throughput with up to 20 PFLOPS FP4 AI performance, reduce environment setup time and deployment risk, and improve GPU utilization through optimized CUDA libraries, scheduling, and multi-GPU workload orchestration. Red Hat AI Factory with NVIDIA is an integrated AI platform, built on the industry-leading infrastructure of Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Red Hat Open Shift, for deploying and managing AI models, agents and applications across the hybrid cloud.

The collaboration provides the ability to accelerate AI development by reducing setup time, enabling local agentic coding, and allowing companies to offload compute to the ZGX Fury without altering existing workflows. Running on Red Hat AI Factory, the solution is bringing together the co-engineered and jointly validated power of NVIDIA AI Enterprise and the scalability of Red Hat AI Enterprise.

Jim Nottingham, Senior Vice President and Division President, Advanced Compute and Solutions, HP Inc., said, "The future of AI is moving closer to where people work, machines operate and critical decisions are made. Together with Red Hat and NVIDIA, HP is extending enterprise AI from the data center to the edge with an open, enterprise-grade inference platform designed to give customers greater choice, control and consistency as they deploy local AI factories."
