City leaders everywhere face the same challenge:
Your constituents expect smarter, safer, more connected services — but your infrastructure wasn’t built for the AI-driven future. Aging camera systems, siloed data platforms, and growing compliance requirements collide with rising expectations for safety, accessibility, housing support, and digital public services.
For years, AI pilots promised smarter cities but failed to scale. Data was fragmented, cameras underperformed, and each new application became another silo to manage. To make matters harder, budgets are tight, and populations can surge seasonally. The result? AI pilots that never scale and innovation initiatives stall.
That changes now.
A Proven Solution for the Next Generation of Cities
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), together with NVIDIA, has introduced the HPE Agentic Smart City Solution, the first fully integrated, production-ready agentic AI Smart City solution — built on HPE Private Cloud AI, co-developed with NVIDIA, and accelerated by the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs.
This solution goes beyond proof-of-concept. It combines:
-
- HPE Private Cloud AI — secure, enterprise-grade AI infrastructure.
-
- NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs — powering real-time computer vision and generative AI workloads.
-
- ProHawk AI Computer Vision Management System™ (CVMS) — an NVIDIA accelerated solution, is a unified layer to manage, restore, and optimize every video stream across the city.
-
- The AI Data Flywheel — every pixel restored and analyzed feeds smarter models, accelerating value over time.
· Vaidio — advanced computer vision analytics for safety, operations, and urban intelligence.
· BlackShark.ai — synthetic data and 3D digital twin modeling to train and simulate AI at scale.
· Kamiwaza — orchestration and automation for managing AI applications and edge resources.
· SHI — simplifying deployment, scaling, and lifecycle management so cities can focus on outcomes, not complexity.
This isn’t another pilot or concept demo.
For the first time, city CIOs, CTOs, and innovation leaders can deploy a single, repeatable platform that is secure, scalable, and proven[KW1] in real-world municipal operations. The Town of Vail, Colorado, is the first to explore it — proving[KW2] that AI can be responsibly scaled to improve resident services today.
Why This Matters for Municipal Leaders
This HPE-led solution was built for the realities you face:
-
- Fragmented video and AI systems become one unified, secure platform — reducing complexity and operational cost.
-
- Aging camera infrastructure becomes AI-ready with ProHawk AI’s patented pixel-level AI-enabled computer vision, turning low-quality, weather-affected, or poorly lit footage into clear, reliable data.
-
- Regulatory requirements — from accessibility to safety — are easier to meet with better data and actionable insights.
-
- Budget protection — avoid unnecessary rip-and-replace camera upgrades by improving the performance of what’s already installed.
-
- Seasonal demand surges — scale AI services up or down securely as your population changes.
With this solution, you no longer need to experiment with one-off pilots. You can deploy production-grade AI at city scale.
The Power of Pixel-Level Clarity for Smarter AI
AI is only as good as the data it sees and often fails because garbage in equals garbage out. Weather, lighting, and environmental conditions — rain, snow, fog, glare, shadows, night — degrade accuracy and create costly false positives. Our patented, real-time AI-enabled computer vision transforms any degraded video feed into crisp, AI-ready clarity.
ProHawk AI solves this problem.
-
- Pixel-by-pixel AI-enabled computer vision clears rain, fog, glare, night scenes, and other visual obstructions in real time.
-
- CVMS unifies every camera and visual data feed — no matter the brand, resolution, or condition — into a single, AI-ready platform.
-
- AI Data Flywheel turns your city into a self-learning system: every restored frame trains, refines, and improves your AI models, reducing false alerts and increasing operational intelligence over time.
By combining ProHawk AI’s advanced AI-enabled computer vision with NVIDIA accelerated computer and Metropolis vision AI stack, businesses can deploy ultra-low-latency AI vision solutions from edge to HPE Private Cloud AI—empowering industries like smart cities, transportation, manufacturing, retail, and robotics with greater clarity, actionable insights, and safer, more efficient operations. Every restored pixel improves AI models over time, fueling a self-learning AI Data Flywheel that keeps your city’s technology getting smarter without massive reinvestment.
The result: your existing infrastructure becomes AI-grade without costly rip-and-replace, and every new project builds on the intelligence of the last. That means smarter analytics, better detection, and more reliable automation across key municipal priorities.
