Enterprise Doesn't Move At The Speed Of Keynotes: Why Grace Hopper Still Matters
The CTO Advisor, Tuesday, April 15th, 2025
At a recent Tech Field Day X event at HPE's Houston campus, I sat down with HPE's AI team to dive into their ProLiant Gen12 server portfolio and what it really means for enterprise AI.
Around the same time, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang made a bold prediction at GTC 2025:
'I said before that when Blackwell starts shipping in volume, you couldn't give Hoppers away. There are circumstances where Hopper is fine. Not many.'
Let me just say this: That might fly on Wall Street, but it's completely disconnected from enterprise IT reality.
