Infosys, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), and SUSE announced a strategic partnership at the SUSECON 2025, and unveiled an enterprise AI infrastructure solution designed to revolutionise AI deployment for global businesses.
The initiative brings together SUSE AI’s open-source capabilities, HPE’s high-performance AI-ready hardware, and Infosys’ expertise in system integration and responsible AI governance, offering enterprises an end-to-end solution to accelerate AI adoption at scale.
This move builds upon the decades-long strategic partnership between Infosys and HPE, which has helped enterprises modernise IT environments, enhance AI/ML adoption, and drive digital transformation.
The latest announcement signals a new era, where AI becomes more scalable, cost-effective, and enterprise-ready than ever before.
Ramanath Suryaprakash, vice president of partner ecosystems and global alliances at Infosys, said that the company is helping organisations tackle the complexity of AI adoption. “Our combined capabilities ensure businesses have the right tools to build, deploy, and scale AI in a secure and responsible manner.”
As AI adoption surges, a trusted framework for AI deployment is also needed. Businesses face challenges ranging from high infrastructure costs and security risks to the complexity of AI model implementation. The Infosys-HPE-SUSE alliance simplifies AI adoption through a phased implementation strategy, enabling businesses to test AI models, validate use cases, and scale responsibly.
“AI is powerful, but its true potential is unlocked when combined with robust infrastructure and human expertise,” said Mandanna Appanderanda, head of Infosys responsible AI office in Americas. “We are ensuring that businesses focus on innovation while we handle the complexity of AI integration.”
To make AI more accessible, the partners have introduced a ‘Start Now, Pay Later’ model, allowing businesses to scale AI investments based on real-world outcomes.
Tom Hempfield, Americas VP sales and GTM at HPE, emphasised the company’s role in optimising AI infrastructure. “Our HPD Gen 12 servers and GreenLake cloud platform provide an AI-ready foundation that is not only secure but also cost-efficient.”
Responsible AI: A Key Differentiator
AI’s ethical considerations are at the forefront of this initiative. Infosys’ Appanderanda stressed the importance of trust in AI, stating, “Our Responsible AI framework ensures AI solutions are not only powerful but also explainable, compliant, and secure.”
“With open-source AI stacks and a responsible AI governance framework, we are giving enterprises the confidence to innovate without risk,” Appanderanda added.
Notably, this collaboration comes as Infosys doubles down on AI-driven growth. The company is seeking an early renewal of its $3 billion contract with Daimler, with AI integration expected to add a seventh revenue stream to its existing portfolio. Infosys’ push into AI aligns with broader industry trends, where businesses are rapidly shifting towards multi-agent AI frameworks and small language models for industry-specific applications.
The Road Ahead: Enterprise AI at Scale
With Infosys and HPE’s long-standing partnership evolving into a full-fledged enterprise AI powerhouse, businesses can now access scalable, cost-effective, and responsible AI solutions tailored for their industry needs. “Be pioneers, be creators, and let’s build an AI-powered future that is safe and trustworthy,” SUSE’s AI head Abhinav Puri said at the closing keynote of SUSECON 2025.
