Unleash smart city AI innovation
If you support public sector or smart city initiatives, this HPE brief on the HPE Agentic Smart City Solution shows how you can turn AI pilots into practical, city-wide services. You'll see how HPE Private Cloud AI, NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs, Kamiwaza, and ISV partners like Gambit, Vaidio, ProHawk AI, and BlackShark.ai come together in one validated platform.
You learn how to:
• Consolidate multiple AI workloads on shared infrastructure to lower cost and simplify operations.
• Use AI video analytics for fire prevention and early detection, automate housing applications, and deliver an AI voice concierge for parking and event information.
• Improve accessibility with Section 508-compliant digital services while keeping sensitive data under your control.
Our team can help you assess current voice and video systems, design an HPE Private Cloud AI architecture, and integrate the right ISV solutions so you get to value quickly and securely. Contact us to get started today!
What is the HPE Agentic Smart City Solution?
The HPE Agentic Smart City Solution is a production-ready AI platform designed specifically for municipalities that want to move beyond isolated pilots and into scalable, cross-departmental AI deployments.
Instead of asking cities to assemble their own mix of infrastructure, GPUs, software, and governance tools, this solution brings everything together in a single, validated platform built on:
- HPE Private Cloud AI – an enterprise-grade private cloud foundation, co-developed with NVIDIA as part of the NVIDIA AI Computing by HPE portfolio, providing orchestration, governance, and multi-tenancy.
- NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs – delivering accelerated AI inference and real-time performance for demanding voice and video workloads.
- Kamiwaza – orchestrating automation, intelligence, and real-time decision-making across all components, so multiple AI systems work together instead of in silos.
- Curated ISV partners – including Gambit (voice concierge personalities), Vaidio (video analytics), ProHawk AI (video restoration), and BlackShark.ai (geospatial intelligence).
By consolidating multiple AI workloads on shared infrastructure, municipalities can:
- Lower costs and reduce complexity.
- Simplify operations while maintaining strong compliance and governance.
- Launch high-value use cases quickly and scale them across departments.
- Maintain control of sensitive data within a secure, future-ready framework.
In short, the HPE Agentic Smart City Solution helps cities reimagine their voice and video infrastructure as a strategic asset that supports real-time insight, safer communities, and more inclusive citizen services—without a costly rip-and-replace approach.
Which smart city use cases does the solution support today?
The HPE Agentic Smart City Solution is designed to support a range of practical, high-impact use cases from day one, especially around voice and video data. A good example is the Town of Vail, which is acting as a lighthouse customer to validate and refine real-world scenarios.
Initial use cases being tested in Vail include:
- Accessibility compliance (Section 508)
Using AI to help ensure digital services are inclusive and compliant, so more residents can access information and services without barriers.
- Fire prevention and early detection
Applying AI-powered video analytics to detect risks in real time, helping first responders act earlier and more effectively.
- Housing application automation
Streamlining housing-related workflows so staff can process applications faster and residents get decisions more quickly.
- Voice concierge for residents and visitors
Using Gambit’s AI-powered voice concierge personalities to provide parking guidance and town-wide event information through natural, conversational interactions.
These examples highlight how the platform can:
- Improve public safety through real-time video analytics and early detection.
- Streamline citizen services by automating routine processes.
- Enhance accessibility and inclusivity in digital services.
Because the solution is built on shared infrastructure with orchestration and governance baked in, cities can start with a few targeted use cases and then scale across departments as needs and priorities evolve.
How does this solution change the way cities deploy and manage AI?
Most municipalities today are forced to piece together AI projects—selecting infrastructure, GPUs, applications, and governance tools separately. This often leads to:
- Higher costs and operational complexity.
- Slow time to value.
- AI initiatives that remain stuck in pilot mode.
The HPE Agentic Smart City Solution is designed to reshape that model by providing a unified, production-ready foundation. It changes the AI journey for cities in several ways:
- Unified platform instead of point solutions
Cities get private cloud infrastructure, NVIDIA accelerated computing, orchestration, and curated ISV applications in one integrated solution. This reduces integration work and helps IT teams focus on outcomes rather than plumbing.
- Cross-department scalability
Because the platform supports multi-tenancy and strong governance, multiple departments can run their AI workloads on shared infrastructure. This helps municipalities consolidate investments and avoid duplicate systems.
- Built-in orchestration and governance
HPE Private Cloud AI and Kamiwaza provide orchestration, governance, and real-time decision-making across AI systems. This helps ensure that different AI applications—voice, video, geospatial, and more—work together and comply with policy and regulatory requirements.
- Faster path from vision to action
With validated components and pre-integrated ISV partners (Gambit, Vaidio, ProHawk AI, BlackShark.ai), cities can move more quickly from concept to deployment, focusing on use cases like public safety, accessibility, and citizen services.
Overall, the solution helps municipalities rethink AI as a shared, strategic capability rather than a collection of isolated pilots—supporting real-time insight, safer communities, and more inclusive services on a secure, future-ready foundation.
