HPE Expands Networking Partnership With Oracle to Support AI Infrastructure Buildout
TECHWORLD ·
✦ AI Summary
HPE announced an expanded networking partnership to support Oracle's global AI infrastructure expansion.
The expanded scope includes multi-year adoption of the HPE Juniper Networking PTX and MX routing platforms and QFX and EX switching platforms, long-term networking support services, and financing capabilities.
Oracle and HPE are supporting improvements in OCI troubleshooting speed, GPU utilization, and network availability through intelligent telemetry technology, and HPE has issued warrants to Oracle.
HPE on the 9th announced an expanded networking partnership for Oracle's global AI infrastructure expansion. HPE has already been supporting the core segments of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) data center and edge networks with its HPE Juniper Networking routing and switching platforms.
The goal of the expanded partnership is to meet the ultra-high-speed and high-performance demands of AI infrastructure environments. The expanded scope adds networking support services and financing capabilities to the existing collaboration.
The scope covers Oracle data centers worldwide. As a result, multi-year adoption of the HPE Juniper Networking PTX and MX routing platforms, as well as multi-year adoption of the HPE Juniper Networking QFX and EX switching platforms, is being pursued.
The expansion also includes long-term networking support services. In line with Oracle's AI infrastructure expansion, HPE has widened the scope of cooperation to provide long-term deployment and support, as well as financing, across global data centers.
In OCI, MX and PTX routers currently support parts of the edge network, while QFX switches support multiple layers of the regional data center fabric. In particular, the latest QFX switches provide high-density connectivity for large-scale RoCEv2 (RDMA over Converged Ethernet version 2) AI backend networks, and also offer dynamic load balancing and advanced congestion management capabilities.
Rami Rahim, EVP and president and general manager of HPE Networking, said Oracle is building AI infrastructure at scale. He added that HPE is positioned to support OCI based on the industry's most comprehensive AI data center networking portfolio, and that the two companies are jointly advancing high-performance networking architectures to address the traffic management, power, space, and operational requirements of the expanding AI environment.
Oracle, through Mahesh Thiagarajan, EVP of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, said that building AI infrastructure at Oracle's scale requires an integrated ecosystem that organically connects every layer of the technology stack. He added that HPE Juniper Networking has long been an important component of Oracle Cloud architecture and now plays a key role in delivering scalability, performance, and reliability across AI clusters, regional data centers, and edge networks.
Oracle and HPE are collaborating in the field of intelligent telemetry technology to maintain high performance and resilience as OCI AI infrastructure expands. The technology increases visibility into device and network fabric behavior, enabling early detection of queue buildup, packet loss, traffic imbalance, and component performance degradation. This helps OCI improve troubleshooting speed while minimizing the impact on GPU utilization and network availability.
As one of the measures included in the agreement, HPE issued warrants to Oracle, giving Oracle the right to purchase HPE common stock.
