HPE storage offloads AI cache from GPUs, cutting time to first token up to 20×

HPE is giving its Alletra Storage MP X10000 a new job: holding AI inference state that would otherwise be evicted from costly GPU memory and recalculated later. In testing validated by Kamiwaza on NVIDIA H200 GPUs, the setup achieved up to 20× faster time to first token and 17× higher effective inference throughput than running without key-value (KV) cache offload. The test used NVIDIA Nemotron 70B and more than 30 concurrent agents on large-context, multi-agent workloads. HPE says the gains depend on context length, concurrency, cache hit rates, and transfer overhead. It also pairs the X10000 with Data Fabric for governed data access and with metadata generation at ingest to improve retrieval.

Schneider Electric, NVIDIA and HPE launch edge AI agents for process industries

Schneider Electric, NVIDIA and HPE have announced a collaboration to bring Physical AI to process and heavy industries. They unveiled Industrial AI Agents at the Edge in Berlin on October 22, 2026. The system runs on HPE Private Cloud AI, so autonomous agents work inside industrial sites. It targets three barriers to adoption: data sovereignty, cybersecurity, and AI consumption costs. The first three agents cover operational technology monitoring, cybersecurity, and energy optimisation. Customers manage them through Schneider's EcoStruxure Industrial Insights apps. CMPC Chile, a Latin American pulp and paper producer, has used Schneider's monitoring system for three years. It sees potential for AI agents to help its specialists investigate issues faster, while people stay in control of critical decisions.
