Hewlett Packard enterprise (HPE), fulfilling its continuing commitment to the European market, today announced the establishment of its first plant in the region to produce the next generation of high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) systems. The completion of the new plant can accelerate delivery to customers and strengthen the supplier ecosystem in the region.
The new plant will produce HPE industry-leading systems as customized design solutions to promote scientific research, mature Al / ml programs, and support innovation. This dedicated HPC plant will be the fourth of HPE's global HPC bases. It will be located in kutnahola, Czech Republic, close to HPE's existing European base to manufacture its industry standard server and storage solutions. It will be put into operation in the summer of 2022.
Justin hotard, executive vice president of HPE and general manager of HPC and AI, said:
When European organizations adopt next-generation supercomputing, they gain a strong foundation to seize the opportunity of exponential data growth, accelerate scientific discovery, strengthen digital sovereignty, release innovation and provide greater economic value.
HPE is committed to continuing to support this work in Europe, and our new HPC plant in Kutn á Hora, Czech Republic, is another major investment in our other R & D initiatives in Europe. We can now manufacture industry-leading supercomputing, HPC and AI systems while improving the feasibility and flexibility of the supply chain.
HPE has a broad HPC and AI footprint in Europe. Its core is to promote national plans to promote timely understanding of complex scientific research, which is crucial to solving challenging world problems, such as predicting and preparing for extreme weather events, diagnosing and treating diseases, and improving food security and sustainability. Access to next-generation data-driven technology releases valuable insight and capabilities for AI innovation, which is also essential for Europe to realize digital sovereignty.
HPE has carried out strong cooperation in Europe, including the European HPC joint action (eurohpc Ju), an initiative between the European Union, European countries and industry technical partners to coordinate and integrate their resources and develop world-class VLSI and VLSI supercomputers in Europe. Through eurohpc Ju, HPE has designed and built Lumi supercomputer for CSC - it Science Center in Finland, which is considered as "pre cascade" supercomputer, and Karolina supercomputer for it4innovations in the Czech Republic.
