Toward an agentic enterprise
Running on top of all that networking, compute and storage gear are AI agents. That’s another area that HPE is looking to help. “Agents now reason across data, applications, models, and workflows. They help you make decisions, automate processes, and are increasingly taking action on your behalf,” Neri said.
Agents are proliferating across enterprises, often in the hands of developers and small teams outside formal IT oversight, creating governance and scale challenges that traditional IT management was not built to handle. “Agentic AI demands a new set of enterprise requirements,” Neri said.
HPE’s answer is a governed agent layer built into Private Cloud AI. Enterprises can register agents built in any framework, applying security controls on API calls, identity, and encryption with zero code changes required. A three-tier identity model verifies the user, governs the agent, and requires human approval for sensitive actions.
