Katonic and HPE
Katonic AI joins HPE Unleash AI
Katonic AI is a partner in HPE Unleash AI, the partner program Hewlett Packard Enterprise runs for software that works with HPE Private Cloud AI. Customers can run the Katonic platform on HPE infrastructure they own, to build, run and govern AI agents without their data leaving their premises.
What this means for customers
An organisation that buys HPE Private Cloud AI gets a private AI system on its own premises. With Katonic on top, its teams get a place to build agents, its IT function gets one point of control over them, and its staff get somewhere to use them. On Private Cloud AI, Katonic connects to the models the system serves.
The same platform runs on HPE GPU servers that a customer has built into its own estate, as part of an HPE AI Factory design. There Katonic supplies the software layer above the hardware.
Why we joined
The customers we work with are banks, governments, telecom operators and public-safety agencies. They cannot send their data to a public AI service, and many of them already buy their infrastructure from HPE. Being in the program puts Katonic in front of those customers through the people they already trust to supply the hardware.
It also answers the question every infrastructure buyer asks after delivery: what do we run on this. We would rather answer that with working use cases than with a list of features.
Ten use cases, ready to look at
We have submitted ten use cases to the program and published a page for each one:
- Member fund assistant for pension trustees
- Back-office agent workflows with approval gates
- Air-gapped police interview transcription
- AI coding agent on your own GPU
- Token factory for Group IT
- White-label AI service for MSPs and telcos
- Shared GPU platform for government ministries
- Citizen tax assistant
- Case officer copilot with approval
- Moving agent pilots to production
HPE has published the coding agent use case as a solution brief, "Coding Agent on Your Own GPU".
What stays the same
- Your data, models and logs stay on infrastructure you own.
- The platform can run with no outside connection.
- You choose the models. Katonic works with open-weight models served on your own GPUs.
- Every agent runs under the same access rules, guardrails and audit trail.
How to start
If you already run HPE Private Cloud AI or HPE GPU servers, pick the use case closest to your need and ask us for a demonstration of it. If you are still choosing infrastructure, your HPE account team can bring us into the conversation.
