HPE ProLiant servers feature user-inspired innovations to make IT simpler,10 including:

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

• HPE GreenLake for Compute Ops Management: Seamlessly monitor, manage, and gain visibility of your distributed compute environment. Unify compute management, simplify and automate tasks, and secure compute operations with an intuitive cloud operating experience that’s simple to use and can be managed via a single console using HPE GreenLake for Compute Ops Management.

• HPE OneView: 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.

• HPE InfoSight: Building on the operational data of tens of thousands of servers, HPE InfoSight provides continual artificial intelligence (AI)–driven insight and oversight to server operations, predicting and preventing problems before IT operations are impacted.

• HPE iLO 6: Embedded in HPE ProLiant servers, HPE iLO 6 is a core intelligence that monitors server status while providing the means for reporting, ongoing management, service alerting and local or remote management to quickly identify and resolve issues. In short, securely configure, monitor, and update your HPE ProLiant Gen11 servers seamlessly, from anywhere.

• HPE iLO RESTful API: HPE iLO uses a fully Redfish-conformant 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.

Optimized performance for your workloads

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

• Workload matching: 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 helps eliminate the trial-and-error — and risk — of server tuning, delivering the performance and efficiency of a server ideally suited to its workload tasks.

• Workload performance advisor: Changes in business requirements and workload characteristics can require adjustments to server resources. Workload performance advisor complements workload matching, providing real-time operational feedback on server performance plus recommendations for fine-tuning BIOS settings to adjust and optimize for changing business needs.

• HPE Right Mix Advisor: 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, helping to optimize performance for business-specific needs and reduce costs.

Trusted security by design

From silicon to software, from factory to cloud, and from generation to generation, HPE ProLiant is engineered with a fundamental security approach to defend against increasingly complex threats through an uncompromising focus to deliver constant security advancements that’s built into our DNA. Protect your infrastructure, workloads, and data from threats to hardware, and risks from third-party software, with a trusted edge-to-cloud security posture built on an HPE compute core hardened through a proven, zero trust approach to security. 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.

• Secure supply chain: HPE ProLiant security begins with the corruption-free manufacture of the server, auditing the integrity of every component — hardware and firmware — providing an assurance that the server begins its lifecycle uncompromised.

• Silicon root of trust: It anchors the essential firmware of HPE ProLiant to an ASIC even before the server is built, creating an immutable fingerprint that must be exactly matched before the server will boot. This helps ensure malicious code is contained and healthy servers are protected.

• Server configuration lock: Secured by a customer-supplied password, server configuration lock creates a digital fingerprint of the server configuration, preventing it from booting should there be an unauthorized configuration change or tampering detected.

• Security dashboard: A single interface to display the overall server security status, the current configuration for the security state, and server configuration lock plus the status of numerous security features, the security dashboard also provides access to change security alerts and manage settings.

• Production to CNSA security modes: Equipped with HPE iLO, HPE ProLiant provides four security modes — production, high security, FIPS 140-2, and Commercial National Security Algorithm (CNSA) (the highest-level cryptographic algorithm available for commercial systems).

• Server system restore: Should a server be compromised, the fastest path to bring it back online and into normal operations again is with HPE server system restore, a feature of HPE iLO. Server system automated recovery includes restoration of validated firmware, facilitated recovery of the operating system, application, and data connections.

• One button secure erase: When it’s time to retire or repurpose an HPE ProLiant server, one button secure erase speeds and simplifies the complete removal of passwords, configuration settings, and data, preventing inadvertent access to previously secured information.
