HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 portfolio meets federal security certificationstandards, boosts IT productivity with AI-driven insights and drives 65% powersavings
Dubai, United Arab Emirates – FEBRUARY 13, 2025 – Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE:HPE) today announced eight new HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 servers, the latest additionsto a new generation of enterprise servers that introduce industry-first security capabilities,optimize performance for complex workloads and boost productivity with managementfeatures enhanced by artificial intelligence (AI). The new servers will feature upcoming IntelXeon 6 processors for data center and edge environments.“Our customers are tackling workloads that are overwhelmingly data-intensive and growingever-more demanding,” said Krista Satterthwaite, senior vice president and generalmanager, Compute at HPE. “The new HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 servers giveorganizations – spanning public sector, enterprise and vertical industries like finance,healthcare and more – the horsepower and management insights they need to thrive whilebalancing their sustainability goals and managing costs. This is a modern enterprise platformengineered for the hybrid world, designed with innovative security and control capabilitiesto help companies prevail over the evolving threat landscape and performance challengesthat their legacy hardware cannot address.”Chip-to-Cloud and Full Lifecycle SecurityThe HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 portfolio sets a new standard for enterprise security withbuilt-in safeguards at every layer – from the chip to the cloud – and every phase of theserver lifecycle. HPE Integrated Lights Out (iLO) 7 introduces an enhanced and dedicatedsecurity processor called secure enclave that is engineered from the ground up as HPEintellectual property. HPE ProLiant Compute servers with HPE iLO 7 will help organizationssafeguard against future threats as the first server with quantum computing-resistantreadiness and to meet the requirements for a high-level cryptographic security standard,the FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certification1.The chip-enhanced security features of HPE iLO 7 uniquely distinguish HPE ProLiant serversfrom other vendors. Embedded into the server hardware, secure enclave establishes anunbreakable chain of trust to protect against firmware attacks and creates full line-of-sight

This extends to the end of theproduct lifecycle with HPE Onsite Decommission Services which collects equipment andtransports it to an authorized sorting and recycling facility.AI-Driven Insights Improve Operations Management, Automation and Power EfficiencyHPE Compute Ops Management is a cloud-based software platform that helps customerssecure and automate server environments. Proactive and predictive automation, nowenhanced with AI-driven insights, helps organizations improve energy efficiency byforecasting power usage and enabling enterprises to set thresholds to control costs andcarbon emissions on a worldwide level. A new global map view simplifies management socustomers can instantly identify server health issues across distributed IT environments andmulti-vendor toolset integration reduces downtime by up to 4.8 hours per server everyyear2. Automated on-boarding simplifies server set-up and ongoing management,particularly in remote or branch-office deployments where local IT resources are notavailable.All new HPE Compute Ops Management features, including AI-informed insights, new map-based visibility and third-party tool integration, will be available to HPE ProLiant ComputeGen10 servers and newer.To aid customers evaluating future purchases, a standalone tool called HPE Power Advisorestimates environment performance metrics such as energy costs and greenhouse gasemissions.Servers Optimized for Performance, Energy Efficiency and Available with Direct LiquidCoolingNew additions to the HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 portfolio are right-sized to addressdemanding workloads that include AI, data analytics, edge computing, hybrid cloud andvirtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) solutions. Addressing the exponential growth in powerdemands placed on data centers, the HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 portfolio is engineeredto optimize performance, energy efficiency and cost with up to 41% better performance perwatt compared to legacy enterprise systems3. HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 servers deliverup to 65% in power savings per year4 and enable organizations to free up data centercapacity with one Gen12 server providing the same compute performance as seven Gen10servers5.“Partnering with reliable, innovative hardware vendors like HPE helps us meet the evolvingneeds of our clients and empower them with comprehensive, workload-optimized ITinfrastructure solutions,” said William Bell, executive vice president, Products atphoenixNAP. “We were the first customer in the world to order HPE ProLiant ComputeGen12 servers and the benefits of the upgrade were immediate. By delivering theseadvanced technologies as a service, phoenixNAP enables organizations of all sizes to tacklechallenges related to performance, energy efficiency, data security, and infrastructuremanagement at scale.”
Confidential – Not for Public Consumption or DistributionTo meet customer demand for more energy efficient data centers, HPE is offering optionaldirect liquid cooling (DLC) on Intel-based HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 one-socket and two-socket rack servers. Liquid removes heat more efficiently than air, removing more than3,000 times more heat based on volume6.
