New Solutions across Networking and Compute
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has new solutions across networking and compute in advance of Mobile World Congress 2026 that accelerate modernisation for service providers.
With the new products and enhanced capabilities, HPE’s customers can build and operate their own AI infrastructure with low-latency, high-capacity, AI-native solutions from the core to the edge.
Rami Rahim, executive vice president, president and general manager, Networking, HPE, states:
“AI infrastructure is a critical growth driver for service providers. More than ever, HPE is committed to helping these customers lead in the AI era by building intelligent, next-generation networks that can support complex operations, rising data traffic, and the transformative capabilities of AI. With high-performing infrastructure; simplified ease of management across compute, storage, and networking; and built-in security, HPE is helping customers virtualize and modernize their networks, simplify operations, and create new, higher-value services and advanced AI capabilities.”
HPE Financial Services (HPEFS) announces new 90/9 Advantage financing program
In an era of commodity pricing uncertainty, HPEFS is making it easier for organisations to accelerate their AI and modernisation projects with a new 90/9 Advantage financing program, requiring no payments for the first 90 days, followed by ultra-low monthly lease payments of 1% for the next 9 months.
The program is available across the HPE portfolio including networking, compute, storage and software.
Ability to aggressively scale network fabric: Juniper PTX Series routers
HPE’s data centre and routing infrastructure portfolio allows service providers, cloud providers and cloud-scale enterprise customers to aggressively scale their network fabric in support of high-growth AI workloads.
Key to these capabilities are Juniper PTX Series routers, built on the Juniper Express 5 ASIC, which deliver an up to 49% improvement in power efficiency compared to the previous generation (based on internal testing), enabling the latest PTX platforms to deliver exceptional performance, ultra high density, greater operational efficiency, and secure connectivity between data centers.
The following new networking capabilities will be showcased at MWC 2026:
- The new Juniper PTX12000 line of modular routers
enables network operators to scale AI and cloud traffic without repeated infrastructure redesigns. With ultra-dense 800G port density on 1.6T-ready platforms, the new routers sustain predictable, low-latency performance as traffic grows. The platform scales to 345.6T with the 8-slot PTX12008 and 518.4T with the 12-slot PTX12012, enabling seamless capacity expansion while preserving architectural consistency and reducing latency, power consumption, and costs. - The new Juniper PTX10002 line of fixed form routers
delivers high-density routing in a compact 2RU footprint for AI network fabrics. With 28.8T or 14.4T of throughput and flexible multi-rate 100G, 400G, and 800G port options, the expanded portfolio enables efficient scaling of AI clusters and WAN connectivity, while giving customers the flexibility to optimise space, power, and port density as AI and cloud traffic grows. - Juniper Routing Director
is now agentic-AI ready, letting businesses connect Routing Director to their own AI co-pilots to quickly fix WAN routing issues and simplify ongoing operations, giving customers the flexibility to use agentic AI to automate workflows, optimise WAN routing performance, and simplify AI-native, post-deployment operations.
At MWC, HPE will also show new compute innovations that speed 5G and AI deployments, enhance security, and streamline automation from the edge through the core network
HPE Compute Solutions and Software showcase at MWC
- The HPE ProLiant Compute EL9000 chassis and EL140 Gen12 server, with 2X the fronthaul network bandwidth and a 20% core count increase over previous generations, lets telecom operators handle twice the network traffic on a single server. This powerful combination delivers 72 CPU cores and 24 available network ports per server in a compact 2U form factor, with up to two servers supported per chassis. Powered by the Intel® Xeon 6® SoC with vRAN boost, built-in HPE security also protects critical systems and data, ensuring compliance with the latest network security standards.
- Integration of the Juniper Cloud Native Router, now available on the 1U HPE ProLiant Compute DL110 and the new 2U HPE ProLiant EL140 Gen12 servers, consolidates RAN and compute functions into a single server. This enables service provider operators eliminate routing hardware at cell site locations, reducing hardware purchase expenses and ongoing energy costs.
- As service providers modernise for AI, they are being forced to rethink how they operate their cloud environment, driven by rising virtualization costs, sovereign data requirements, and the need to unify VMs and containers across the 5G core. HPE Cloud Ops Software is an integrated cloud management stack that brings together virtualization and containers, monitoring and full-stack observability, AIOps, cyber resiliency, DevOps automation, and FinOps across multicloud, multi-vendor environments. It provides a single, unified control plane to modernise private clouds, reduce dependence on cost-prohibitive hypervisors, and run secure, multi-tenant services at scale. By combining automation, lifecycle management, and proactive issue resolution in one operational foundation, HPE Cloud Ops Software helps operators lower risk, control costs, accelerate new service rollout, and confidently launch AI-driven and managed services.
Live Demos at MWC
At MWC 2026, HPE’s showcase will feature live demos highlighting how HPE can help customers automate operations to reduce costs, add new AI revenues, and speed time to deployment, as well as its vision of the future of wired and wireless connectivity, with new solutions from its routing, edge compute, Private 5G, Wi-Fi and unified SASE portfolio.
HPE will also provide insight on how customers can prepare their data centers for the demands of AI with the latest turnkey private cloud solutions for AI, discover the power of HPE’s latest servers optimized for service provider networks, and generate new revenue through exceptional user experiences with AI-powered campus and branch networking.
