Insights
The launch of HPE's ProLiant Gen12 servers marks a pivotal advancement in enterprise computing infrastructure, introducing three transformative elements that significantly impact HPE's competitive position. The quantum-resistant security architecture with FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certification positions HPE ahead of the curve in addressing emerging cybersecurity threats, particularly relevant as quantum computing advances threaten traditional encryption methods.
The operational efficiency gains are substantial, with the 65% power savings and 41% improvement in performance per watt directly addressing two critical challenges: escalating energy costs and environmental concerns. This efficiency improvement could translate to meaningful cost reductions for data centers, particularly in regions with high energy costs. The ability to achieve the same compute performance with one Gen12 server versus seven Gen10 servers represents a significant consolidation opportunity for enterprises struggling with data center space constraints.
The integration of AI-driven insights in HPE Compute Ops Management platform introduces predictive maintenance and automated power management capabilities that could reduce operational overhead. The claimed 4.8-hour reduction in downtime per server annually through multi-vendor toolset integration represents substantial operational cost savings for large deployments.
The Q1 2025 availability timeline for six of the eight new servers, with the remaining models launching in Summer 2025, aligns well with enterprise refresh cycles but may face competition from AMD EPYC and other Intel-based solutions in the market. The optional direct liquid cooling capability, leveraging HPE's extensive experience in supercomputing, provides a compelling solution for high-density computing environments where traditional air cooling struggles to maintain efficiency.
From a market perspective, these enhancements strengthen HPE's position in the enterprise server segment, particularly in sectors with stringent security requirements like finance and healthcare. The comprehensive security approach, from chip-to-cloud and including end-of-life management, addresses the full lifecycle concerns of enterprise customers, potentially reducing total cost of ownership while enhancing security posture.

“Our customers are tackling workloads that are overwhelmingly data-intensive and growing ever-more demanding,” said Krista Satterthwaite, senior vice president and general manager, Compute at HPE. “The new HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 servers give organizations – spanning public sector, enterprise and vertical industries like finance, healthcare and more – the horsepower and management insights they need to thrive while balancing their sustainability goals and managing costs. This is a modern enterprise platform engineered for the hybrid world, designed with innovative security and control capabilities to help companies prevail over the evolving threat landscape and performance challenges that their legacy hardware cannot address.”
Chip-to-Cloud and Full Lifecycle Security
The HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 portfolio sets a new standard for enterprise security with built-in safeguards at every layer – from the chip to the cloud – and every phase of the server lifecycle. HPE Integrated Lights Out (iLO) 7 introduces an enhanced and dedicated security processor called secure enclave that is engineered from the ground up as HPE intellectual property. HPE ProLiant Compute servers with HPE iLO 7 will help organizations safeguard against future threats as the first server with quantum computing-resistant readiness 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 servers from other vendors. Embedded into the server hardware, secure enclave establishes an unbreakable chain of trust to protect against firmware attacks and creates full line-of-sight from the factory and throughout HPE’s trusted supply chain. This extends to the end of the product lifecycle with HPE Onsite Decommission Services which collects equipment and transports it to an authorized sorting and recycling facility.
AI-Driven Insights Improve Operations Management, Automation and Power Efficiency
HPE Compute Ops Management is a cloud-based software platform that helps customers secure and automate server environments. Proactive and predictive automation, now enhanced with AI-driven insights, helps organizations improve energy efficiency by forecasting power usage and enabling enterprises to set thresholds to control costs and carbon emissions on a worldwide level. A new global map view simplifies management so customers can instantly identify server health issues across distributed IT environments and multi-vendor toolset integration reduces downtime by up to 4.8 hours per server every year2. Automated on-boarding simplifies server set-up and ongoing management, particularly in remote or branch-office deployments where local IT resources are not available.
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 Compute Gen10 servers and newer.
To aid customers evaluating future purchases, a standalone tool called HPE Power Advisor estimates environment performance metrics such as energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions.
Servers Optimized for Performance, Energy Efficiency and Available with Direct Liquid Cooling
New additions to the HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 portfolio are right-sized to address demanding workloads that include AI, data analytics, edge computing, hybrid cloud and virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) solutions. Addressing the exponential growth in power demands placed on data centers, the HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 portfolio is engineered to optimize performance, energy efficiency and cost with up to
“Partnering with reliable, innovative hardware vendors like HPE helps us meet the evolving needs of our clients and empower them with comprehensive, workload-optimized IT infrastructure solutions,” said William Bell, executive vice president, Products at phoenixNAP. “We were the first customer in the world to order HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 servers and the benefits of the upgrade were immediate. By delivering these advanced technologies as a service, phoenixNAP enables organizations of all sizes to tackle challenges related to performance, energy efficiency, data security, and infrastructure management at scale.”
To meet customer demand for more energy efficient data centers, HPE is offering optional direct 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 than 3,000 times more heat based on volume6. HPE has built the world’s fastest direct-liquid cooled supercomputers7 and with more than 300 DLC patents and over 50 years of experience, HPE is a leader in deploying direct liquid-cooled servers and data centers.
