HPE introduces next-gen ProLiant servers
HEWLETT PACKARD ENTERPRISE (HPE) has launched eight new HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 servers, featuring upcoming Intel Xeon 6 processors designed for data centres and edge environments. These servers enhance enterprise performance, productivity, and security through industry-first capabilities and AI-driven management features. The HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 portfolio sets a new security benchmark with safeguards spanning every layer and phase of the server lifecycle. A key innovation is the HPE Integrated Lights Out (iLO) 7, featuring a dedicated security processor called a secure enclave. This establishes a chain of trust to protect against firmware attacks and ensures readiness for quantum-computing-resistant security. Additionally, it meets the FIPS 140-3 Level 3 cryptographic standard. HPE’s trusted supply chain and Onsite Decommission Services extend lifecycle security.
The cloud-based HPE Compute Ops Management software simplifies and secures server environments using AI- driven automation. New features include global map-based visibility, proactive energy efficiency insights, and integration with third-party tools, reducing annual downtime by up to 4.8 hours per server. Automated onboarding supports remote deployments.
The Gen12 servers are engineered for hybrid environments,
addressing the growing demands of public sector and enterprise industries, such as finance and healthcare. They enhance sustainability by optimising power use and carbon control while balancing performance and cost. Six of the eight servers, optimised for tackling complex workloads, will launch in Q1 2025. Features like quantum- resistant security and AI integration make these servers a future-ready solution for modern enterprises.
