HPE expands ProLiant server portfolio, boosts AI and security features

AI-driven insights are part of the platform, designed to help customers better automate workload controls as well as help organizations improve energy efficiency by forecasting power usage and enabling enterprises to set thresholds to control costs and carbon emissions on a worldwide level, Satterthwaite said.

The platform also includes new global map view that lets customers can identify server health issues across distributed IT environments more quickly. The systems support automated on-boarding that simplifies server set-up and ongoing management, particularly in remote or branch-office deployments where local IT resources are not available, Satterthwaite said.

For all of its new servers, HPE said it will now offer optional direct liquid cooling support. HPE says liquid cooling is far more efficient at removing heat than traditional air cooling and can remove over 3,000 times more heat than air by volume. This heat dissipation from the server’s components, especially the high-power processors and memory, lets them utilize less energy, support denser deployments and lower overall operational costs, the vendor stated.

Six of the eight HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 servers will be available in the first quarter of this year. This includes HPE ProLiant Compute DL320, DL340, DL360, DL380, DL380a and ML350 Gen12 servers. HPE Synergy 480 and HPE ProLiant Compute DL580 Gen12 servers are expected in the summer.
