Hewlett Packard Enterprise Unveils Global “AI Factory” Offering with NVIDIA

HPE has introduced a comprehensive new suite of infrastructure solutions called the “AI Factory,” developed in partnership with NVIDIA. This platform is aimed at organizations looking to deploy large-scale generative AI, high-performance computing (HPC), and data-intensive workloads.

The AI Factory bundles HPE’s GreenLake hybrid cloud platform with NVIDIA’s full AI stack, including H100 GPUs, CUDA software, and NeMo frameworks for LLM training and deployment. By offering a turnkey solution, HPE aims to simplify the complexity of enterprise AI adoption. Analysts view this as a timely launch given the surge in enterprise AI pilots, and a potential revenue driver in the cloud infrastructure-as-a-service space.

Amarin Signs EU Licensing Deal Worth Up to $175 Million with Recordati for VAZKEPA

Amarin Corporation (AMRN) has signed an exclusive licensing and supply agreement with Italian pharmaceutical firm Recordati to commercialize VAZKEPA — its prescription-grade EPA drug for cardiovascular disease — across 59 countries, primarily in the European Economic Area (EEA).

Under the agreement, Amarin will receive a $25 million upfront payment, with an additional $150 million tied to sales-based milestones. Recordati will handle regulatory submissions, pricing, and distribution in local markets, allowing Amarin to expand its global footprint without incurring large direct commercialization costs. VAZKEPA has already secured regulatory approval in the EU for patients at high cardiovascular risk, and this partnership significantly de-risks the drug’s European monetization.
