In today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is at the forefront of innovation, driving significant advancements across various industries. Recent studies indicate that approximately 88% of AI pilots fail to reach production. Why? Many companies underestimate the complexity of the planning and development process and find themselves with unclear objectives, poor or insufficient data, and lack of in-house expertise.

Let’s face it. AI is truly revolutionary so it’s not surprising the vast majority of organizations do not have the experience or know-how to manage the process or set realistic expectations. Working with an outside company with relevant, hands-on experience like CPP Associates can make all the difference.

Unlocking the Power of AI with HPE Private Cloud AI

Hewlett Packard Enterprise has positioned itself at the forefront of the AI industry by leveraging its strengths in high-performance computing (HPC), hybrid cloud, and strategic partnerships, especially with NVIDIA. And as an award-winning HPE Platinum Partner, CPP has been able to leverage our long-standing relationship with HPE from the early days of AI to the very latest innovations being offered, namely HPE Private Cloud AI (PCAI).

HPE Private Cloud AI is the first co-engineered, turnkey solution to come from the joint venture between NVIDIA AI Computing and HPE.
