Vultr selects HPE and Nvidia for AI data center expansion

Vultr has selected Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE: HPE) and Nvidia to supply hardware for large-scale artificial intelligence data center deployments, according to a statement issued at HPE Discover Las Vegas 2026.

Vultr has chosen the Nvidia GB300 NVL72 by HPE, connected with Nvidia Spectrum-X Ethernet networking, to support enterprise-scale AI workloads including model training and inference. The deployment is part of the Nvidia AI Computing by HPE portfolio.

New facilities will incorporate rack-scale systems featuring Nvidia accelerated computing and high-performance networking, along with HPE liquid cooling technology. Networking infrastructure will include Nvidia Spectrum-X Ethernet with 400GbE and 800GbE interconnects, optical transceivers, and Nvidia Spectrum-X Ethernet switches and SuperNICs.

"HPE, Vultr, and Nvidia are building AI infrastructure designed for the future of AI and the agentic enterprise," said Antonio Neri, president and CEO of HPE. "Vultr represents a new generation of AI cloud providers, and the company's selection of HPE validates the importance of AI data center architectures designed to support the next wave of global AI growth."

Vultr CEO J.J. Kardwell said the company is "deploying dedicated AI infrastructure focused on GPU architecture and AI inference to accelerate customer innovation while maintaining cost efficiency," adding that the expansion targets enterprise demand for "decentralized, latency-sensitive workloads" across Vultr's global network.

HPE will provide AI services, deployment expertise, and lifecycle support for the infrastructure buildout. The press release describes Vultr as the world's largest privately held hyperscaler, though that characterization originates from the company itself.
