Introducing the HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 Portfolio: Performance, Security, and AI Automation
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has unveiled its next-generation HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 servers, designed to push the boundaries of security, AI-driven automation, and energy-efficient performance. This latest portfolio introduces eight new servers powered by Intel® Xeon® 6 processors, catering to both data center and edge computing environments.
What’s New in the HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 Lineup?
The latest portfolio includes the following models:
- Rack Servers: HPE ProLiant Compute DL320, DL340, DL360, DL380, DL380a, and DL580 Gen12
- Tower Server: HPE ProLiant Compute ML350 Gen12
- Composable Infrastructure: HPE Synergy 480 Gen12
Each server in this lineup is engineered to meet modern IT demands while delivering robust security and AI-driven operational efficiency.
Enhanced Security with HPE iLO 7
Security remains a top priority in the HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 servers. HPE iLO 7 now includes a dedicated security processor known as Secure Enclave, developed exclusively by HPE. This innovation fortifies the server against emerging cybersecurity threats and is quantum computing-resistant, positioning it as a future-proof solution.
Additionally, these servers align with high cryptographic security standards, including FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certification, ensuring compliance with stringent security regulations.
Optimized Performance and Energy Efficiency
HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 servers are engineered for demanding workloads, including AI, data analytics, edge computing, hybrid cloud, and virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). Key performance benefits include:
- Up to 41% better performance per watt compared to previous enterprise systems.
- Annual power savings of up to 65%, reducing energy costs and environmental impact.
- Increased compute efficiency, with one Gen12 server delivering the performance equivalent of seven Gen10 servers.
To further enhance energy efficiency, HPE now offers optional direct liquid cooling (DLC) for Intel-based one-socket and two-socket rack servers, helping data centers reduce power consumption and improve sustainability.
AI-Driven Productivity with HPE Compute Ops Management
HPE Compute Ops Management is a cloud-based platform that enhances automation and security across server environments. This software delivers:
- AI-powered insights for proactive issue resolution.
- Map-based visualization for improved infrastructure monitoring.
