Why it matters

As AI workloads shift from training to inference at scale, enterprise infrastructure vendors are redesigning data center stacks to balance CPU and GPU compute. This signals a fundamental shift in how companies should architect their AI infrastructure capex.

The key facts

10 to know
  1. HPE and Kamiwaza partnership focuses on inference-optimized infrastructure

  2. Shift from 'AI factories' (training) to inference-era data centers

  3. Mixed CPU/GPU platform strategy replacing GPU-centric architectures

  4. Infrastructure must support: application hosting, intelligence generation, static workflows, agentic orchestration

  5. Published Jun 22 2026 — signals emerging vendor positioning on inference infrastructure

  6. HPE partnering with Kamiwaza on inference-optimized infrastructure

  7. Focus on hybrid CPU-GPU platforms for enterprise AI

  8. Infrastructure evolution from 'AI factories' to 'data centers of the future'

  9. Stack supports application hosting, intelligence generation, and agentic orchestration

  10. Inference era positioning as key market inflection point
