Features:

HPE ProLiant is the intelligent compute foundation for hybrid cloud, delivering unmatched workload optimization, security, and automation, all available as-a-Service.

Optimized for hybrid cloud

The foundational intelligence of HPE ProLiant transforms IT with insights that optimize workload performance, placement, and efficiency, delivering better outcomes faster.

• A standard feature of HPE ProLiant, workload matching encapsulates decades of HPE performance engineering expertise into preconfigured, user-selectable profiles that automatically optimize hundreds of BIOS setting combinations to precisely match server resources to workload requirements. Workload matching eliminates the trial-and-error—and risk—of server tuning, delivering the performance and efficiency of a server ideally suited to its workload tasks.
• Built on the experience of over a thousand hybrid cloud engagements, HPE Right Mix Advisor delivers data-driven guidance to quickly and confidently move workloads to the right mix of hybrid cloud platforms, ensuring optimized performance to meet business-specific needs while speeding migrations from months to weeks and reducing costs as much as 40%.

Intelligent automation

The intelligence built into HPE ProLiant simplifies and automates management tasks, establishing a solid foundation for an open, hybrid cloud platform enabled by composability.

• Embedded in HPE ProLiant, HPE iLO 5 is the HPE-exclusive core intelligence that monitors server status, providing the means for reporting, ongoing management, service alerting, and local or remote management to quickly identify and resolve issues.
• HPE iLO uses a fully Redfish-conformant HPE iLO RESTful application programming interface (API) to provide simple and secure management for today’s cloud- and web-based infrastructures across a wide variety of operations and orchestration tools from HPE and others.
• A foundational element in the software-defined infrastructure of hybrid cloud environments, HPE OneView offers an automated, template-driven approach for deploying, provisioning, updating, and integrating compute, storage, and networking infrastructure.
• Building on the operational data of tens of thousands of servers, HPE InfoSight provides continual AI-driven insight to server operations, predicting and preventing problems before IT operations are impacted. ts a wide range of operating systems making it suitable for most environments.

360-degree security

Already the world’s most secure industry-standard server, HPE ProLiant provides an enhanced holistic, 360-degree view to security that begins in the manufacturing supply chain and concludes with a safeguarded, end-of-life decommissioning.

• Silicon root of trust validates the AMD Secure Processor, which in turn validates the UEFI BIOS before the server is allowed to boot.
• The AMD Secure Processor also manages Secure Encrypted Virtualization, which encrypts virtual machines (VMs) isolating them from one another and even the hypervisor itself, and Secure Memory Encryption, which protects against cold boot, DRAM interface snooping, and similar attacks.
• Automated recovery from a security event, including restoration of validated firmware, and facilitating recovery of operating system, application, and data connections, are enabled by server system restore, providing the fastest path to bring a server back online and into normal operations.
• One Button Secure Erase offers a simple, safeguarded removal of passwords, configuration settings, and data from a server being repurposed or retired.

Delivered as-a-Service

HPE provides customers choice in how they acquire and consume IT. Beyond traditional financing and leasing, HPE offers options that free trapped capital, accelerates infrastructure updates, and provides on-premises pay-per-use consumption.

• HPE Accelerated Migration allows enterprises to free capital trapped in current infrastructure to reinvest for innovation.
• HPE GreenLake provides pay-per-use IT consumption on-premises with real-time tracking and metering of resource usage, so IT capacity is always available to deploy quickly, paying for only the resources consumed.
• HPE InfoSight with AI-enabled analytics provides recommendations for problem resolution driving TCO down and preventing costly service outages.
