Partners: HPE GreenLake Intelligence Ushers In A New Era Of ‘Transformative’ Agentic AI Solutions

‘GreenLake Intelligence agentic AI with HPE Private Cloud AI is going to dramatically increase the potential for huge productivity gains,' said Dan Molina, co-president and CTO of Nth Generation. ‘This is a seminal moment for HPE.’

Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s GreenLake Intelligence is an agentic AI game-changer that ushers in a new era of “transformative” agentic AI solutions designed to reduce costs and drive IT efficiencies for businesses of all sizes, said HPE partners.

“GreenLake Intelligence agentic AI with HPE Private Cloud AI is going to dramatically increase the potential for huge productivity gains,” said Dan Molina, co-president and CTO of Nth Generation, San Diego, No. 307 on the 2025 CRN Solution Provider 500. “This is a seminal moment for HPE. We’ve been working with AI for the last 10-plus years. AI is a transformative technology that has changed society as we know it. Agentic AI is another transformative technology that will accelerate the adoption of AI by businesses.”

In fact, Molina said, agentic AI promises to be the next transformative technology that reshapes the IT landscape. “HPE is the heart of the hybrid cloud with leading networking edge-to-cloud solutions so it makes total sense that they are leveraging the power of agentic AI to deliver better business outcomes,” he said. “Once this is deployed and implemented, the outcome should be unprecedented efficiency and effectiveness that will allow IT to do more with the same staff.”

GreenLake Intelligence effectively will open the door for customers to drive more efficiency with a better total ROI from the IT products and services they adopt, including in cybersecurity, said Molina. “I am so glad that HPE is releasing this agentic AI platform and vision,” he said. “Often we see customers make IT investments where they do not fully take advantage of all those capabilities. Now with an agentic AI platform like GreenLake Intelligence customers can take advantage of agentic AI models that are like subject matter experts to drive more efficiency. This is going to take time, but once it is fully deployed and implemented it will unlock tremendous productivity.”

HPE believes it can reduce data center costs by as much as 70 percent by leveraging GreenLake Intelligence and a number of recent HPE “innovations,” said HPE Vice President of AI, Security and Networking Product Marketing Larry Lunetta.

“Other vendors are going to talk about their solutions in a variety of ways,” said Lunetta. “What is profound about GreenLake Intelligence is we are the only vendor that can deliver the entire IT estate with an agentic framework. If you look at all the other vendors, they are missing networking. They are missing servers. They are missing storage. We have it all. That is where the breakthrough is. That is where this is going to really make the difference in the industry.”

C.R. Howdyshell, CEO of Independence, Ohio-based Advizex, No. 129 on the 2025 CRN Solution Provider 500, a Fulcrum IT Partners company, said he expects GreenLake Intelligence to drive faster AI adoption by companies.

“We are excited about the possibilities with GreenLake Intelligence,” he said. “It’s at the heart of what we are doing to help customers move faster with AI. We are already working with Nvidia and Fulcrum on these agentic AI solutions with other tools.”

Bob Panos, president of American Digital, Schaumburg, Ill., No. 329 on the 2025 CRN Solution Provider 500, said American Digital is going “all in” with GreenLake Intelligence to drive AI breakthroughs with HPE and Nvidia. “This is going to show customers there is a ton more value with HPE and American Digital providing agentic AI solutions,” he said. “We see a lot of growth potential with AI.”

American Digital, in fact, is working on one of the first HPE GreenLake Private Cloud AI deals with a manufacturing company, said Panos. He said the deal is with a longtime American Digital customer that relies on his company as a trusted adviser. “It all comes back to the relationship,” he said. “When you build a relationship, everything else comes after that. It’s like building a foundation.”

Pat O’Dell, managing partner at Clinton, N.J.-based CPP Associates, one of HPE’s top enterprise partners, said he sees GreenLake Intelligence as one more example of HPE President and CEO Antonio Neri’s vision that is powering the company and its partners into the AI era. “This shows more thought leadership by Antonio and his team,” said O’Dell. “We’re very bullish on GreenLake Intelligence. We like that HPE is breaking new ground and is at the forefront of agentic AI.”

Rob Schaeffer, president and CRO of e360, a top HPE partner based in Concord, Calif., No. 138 on the 2025 CRN Solution Provider 500, said he is looking forward to seeing GreenLake Intelligence and other HPE innovations at HPE Discover.

“HPE has always provided amazing innovation,” he said “It goes back to the HP Invent legacy. HPE at its core is an engineering company. We’ve always looked to HPE to provide the next big thing that is going to make a difference in the marketplace. I am looking forward to the next generation and transformational innovation from HPE.”

Dan O’Brien, chief solutions officer at New York-based Presidio, No. 24 on the 2025 CRN Solution Provider 500, said agentic AI offerings like GreenLake Intelligence address the biggest issue facing customers: the limited resources they have with IT personnel and the costs associated with them to deliver business outcomes. “The winner is going to be the first person that can come to market and demonstrate it is working,” he said of the new era of enterprise agentic AI solutions.
