Compute that’s ready for the AI era

Next-level performance, security and efficiency with HPE ProLiant Gen12

Your customers’ IT demands keep growing. They’re deploying AI applications, rethinking virtualisation and managing hybrid environments, all while balancing costs and security. HPE ProLiant Gen12 servers give them a secure, efficient and future-ready foundation, and give you a compelling refresh story to tell.

Why HPE ProLiant Gen12?

Gen12 brings a new level of performance, efficiency and security to IT operations, built around three core strengths:

Secured – next-level security

  • Tamper-resistant protection – the new HPE iLO 7 adds a dedicated, secure vault on the server to protect customers’ encryption keys.
  • Quantum-ready by design – the first servers designed to support NIST and CNSA 2.0 quantum resistance requirements1.
  • Stringent standards – among the first industry-standard servers designed to meet FIPS 140-3 Level 3 requirements1.
  • A trusted supply chain – security is built in at rack and server level, from manufacturing through to deployment.

Optimised – better performance and efficiency

  • Serious consolidation savings – customers can replace up to 26 older (Gen8) servers with a single Gen12, cutting power use by up to 84%2.
  • More performance per watt – up to 89% better performance per watt than legacy systems3, with higher performance from less space and energy.
  • AI-optimised platforms – developed jointly with NVIDIA, including the HPE ProLiant DL380a Gen12 with NVIDIA H200 NVL.
  • Advanced cooling – direct liquid cooling options on selected Gen12 rack servers keep even the most demanding workloads running smoothly.

Automated – AI-driven productivity

  • Predictive AI insights – forecast future energy costs and carbon emissions through HPE Compute Ops Management.
  • Threshold-based alerting – keep operators informed the moment critical energy and carbon limits are reached.
  • A faster management experience – the new HPE iLO 7 delivers quicker load times and a simplified, workflow-based menu.
  • Multi-vendor visibility – manage HPE alongside other vendors’ servers from one console, simplifying operations across mixed environments.
Gen12 servers are available with Intel® Xeon® 6 or AMD EPYC processors, so you can match the right platform to each customer’s environment.

Which customers are the right fit for Gen12?

Gen12 is the strongest recommendation for customers seeking the highest refresh consolidation ratio, the best price-performance, next-level security, or AI-optimised platforms. It’s also the right call for anyone who values platform longevity, with the longest availability for standardisation across the portfolio.

Some customers – particularly those who have already standardised on Gen11 or work with longer validation cycles – may prefer to stay on the current generation for now. For them, HPE ProLiant Gen11 remains a strong option.
