For regulated industries like healthcare and finance, deploying AI on sensitive data requires uncompromising security and compliance. Fortanix, a leader in data security, has joined the HPE Unleash AI partner program. This collaboration integrates Fortanix's Armet AI platform with HPE Private Cloud AI and NVIDIA RTX PRO GPUs, leveraging NVIDIA Confidential Computing to provide a turnkey solution for running hyper-secure, sovereign agentic AI in on-premises, cloud, or AI factory environments.
Fortanix joins the HPE Unleash AI partner program to deliver secure agentic AI solutions.
The offering combines Fortanix Armet AI with HPE Private Cloud AI and NVIDIA RTX PRO GPUs.
It utilizes NVIDIA Confidential Computing for end-to-end security of data and models in use.
The platform is designed for regulated sectors needing data sovereignty and compliance (FIPS 140-2 Level 3).
Key benefits: provable chain of trust, compliance by design, and faster time-to-production.
It helps eliminate the trade-off between AI innovation and data security/compliance.
The core innovation is the integration of NVIDIA Confidential Computing to protect data and AI models throughout their lifecycle—even while in use (during processing). This "attestation-gated" approach uses composite attestation across CPUs and GPUs to verify the integrity of the entire AI workload. Only after successful verification does the Fortanix Data Security Manager release the cryptographic keys, creating a provable chain of trust. This allows enterprises in regulated sectors to run AI on sensitive data without moving it to less secure environments.
Patrick Conte, Fortanix chief revenue officer, highlighted the collaboration: "Fortanix is excited to join the HPE Unleash AI Program, and to work with HPE and NVIDIA to deliver Confidential Computing-based Armet AI in form factors customers are asking for... This collaboration will enable enterprise and AI factory customers with end-to-end model and data security and trust for the entire lifecycle of their Generative AI pipeline requirements."
The solution is built with compliance as a foundational principle. It is backed by FIPS 140-2 Level 3 Hardware Security Modules for strict key custody and provides role-based access controls and consistent audit logs to help enterprises demonstrate adherence to regulatory requirements. This "compliance by design" approach aims to streamline audits and reduce operational risk. Simultaneously, the turnkey nature of the integrated platform (HPE infrastructure + Fortanix software + NVIDIA technology) is designed to accelerate time-to-production, enabling organizations to move from AI pilots to governed, secure deployment in days.
The HPE Unleash AI Partner Program is a curated ecosystem aimed at helping customers operationalize and scale AI. By including Fortanix, HPE is addressing the critical security and sovereignty layer needed for sensitive AI workloads. Robin Braun, vice president of AI business development for hybrid cloud at HPE, stated: "With Fortanix, we’re delivering purpose-built secure AI solutions that combine deep industry expertise with enterprise-grade infrastructure—helping organizations unlock the power of their data to transform how work is done."
This partnership represents a significant step in maturing the enterprise AI infrastructure market. It moves beyond providing raw compute power to offering a fully integrated, security-hardened stack specifically for regulated use cases. By combining HPE's scalable AI factory infrastructure, NVIDIA's confidential computing and acceleration, and Fortanix's data-centric security, the collaboration delivers a compelling blueprint for organizations that must innovate with AI while adhering to the strictest data protection and sovereignty mandates.
