The imperative to build AI infrastructure that is both high-performance and inherently secure has led to a strategic collaboration between key infrastructure and security vendors. Fortanix has announced the integration of its Armet AI platform with HPE Private Cloud AI and NVIDIA GPUs, aiming to embed confidential computing directly into the fabric of modern AI factories. This joint solution is designed to provide enterprises, especially in regulated industries, with a scalable foundation where data, models, and prompts remain protected during active AI processing.
Fortanix integrates its Armet AI security platform with HPE Private Cloud AI and NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPUs.
The solution embeds confidential computing into AI infrastructure, securing data and models "in use" during processing.
It targets the creation of secure, sovereign AI factories that meet strict compliance and data residency requirements.
The offering combines HPE's turnkey AI infrastructure, NVIDIA's accelerated computing with confidential GPU capabilities, and Fortanix's data security.
Key benefits include reduced compliance risk, protection of model IP, and standardized security across hybrid environments.
The partnership aims to help organizations scale AI adoption while addressing privacy, sovereignty, and regulatory challenges.
As enterprises move AI from experimentation to production, concerns over data privacy, model integrity, and regulatory compliance become paramount. This collaboration addresses these concerns at the infrastructure level. Fortanix's Armet AI platform, built with NVIDIA Confidential Computing, is designed to provide a security foundation that protects assets throughout the AI lifecycle—from training and inference to agentic workflows—ensuring sensitive information is never exposed in plaintext during computation.
The joint architecture brings together specialized technologies to create a trusted stack. HPE Private Cloud AI provides the co-developed, turnkey infrastructure platform for deployment. NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs deliver the accelerated computing power with confidential computing capabilities to secure data in process. Fortanix Armet AI acts as the unifying security layer, offering encryption, key management, and governance to maintain compliance with standards like GDPR and NIS2 across this environment.
A primary driver for this solution is the need for data sovereignty and strict adherence to evolving AI regulations. By enabling AI workloads to run securely on-premises, in hybrid clouds, or in fully sovereign AI factories, the partnership gives organizations control over their data geography and processing pipelines. Anuj Jaiswal, chief product officer at Fortanix, stated, “AI only truly succeeds when data, models and prompts are secure by design. By bringing Fortanix secure and trusted Agentic AI to HPE Private Cloud AI and NVIDIA GPUs, we’re helping accelerate AI while preserving sovereignty, compliance and trust across the entire lifecycle.”
Executives from all three companies emphasized the necessity of combining performance with robust security. Justin Boitano, vice president of Enterprise AI products at NVIDIA, noted, "The Fortanix Armet AI platform built with NVIDIA Confidential Computing and integrated with HPE Private Cloud AI puts trusted, scalable AI within reach for organizations across every regulated industry.” Patrick Osborne, Senior Vice President at HPE, added that the work through the Unleash AI program brings together “the best of AI compute, cloud architecture and confidential computing, helping customers deploy AI that meets the highest standards for performance, compliance and data trust.”
This tripartite collaboration represents a significant step toward operationalizing "security-by-design" in enterprise AI. It provides a blueprint for organizations to build or transition to AI factories where cutting-edge performance does not come at the expense of data privacy, regulatory compliance, or intellectual property protection.
