HP Enterprise ProLiant Servers
HPE ProLiant servers deliver enterprise-class performance, reliability, and innovation with intelligent management and automation. Industry-leading compute platforms for hybrid cloud and edge deployments.
Overview
HPE ProLiant servers set industry standards for reliability, security, and intelligent automation. With innovations like iLO 6 advanced management, Silicon Root of Trust security, and InfoSight AI-driven operations, HPE delivers enterprise-class capabilities that I've deployed across data centers and colocation facilities. HPE's Gen11 servers represent the latest evolution with AMD EPYC and Intel Xeon Scalable processors.
My HPE ProLiant Experience
I've deployed and managed HPE ProLiant infrastructure for mission-critical enterprise workloads. From DL-series rack servers to Synergy composable infrastructure, HPE hardware provided exceptional reliability combined with advanced management capabilities through iLO and OneView.
Enterprise Deployments
Implemented HPE ProLiant servers for VMware vSphere clusters supporting thousands of VMs, SQL Server AlwaysOn availability groups, and SAP HANA in-memory databases. Leveraged iLO Advanced for comprehensive out-of-band management including Integrated Remote Console, scripted installations, and federation for multi-server management.
Security and Compliance
HPE's Silicon Root of Trust provided crucial security assurance for federal and financial services deployments. The immutable fingerprint of firmware combined with runtime verification detected and prevented unauthorized firmware modifications, addressing supply chain security concerns.
AI-Driven Management with InfoSight
HPE InfoSight brings cloud-based AI to on-premises infrastructure: predictive analytics identifying issues before they impact operations (86% of problems resolved before users notice), automated problem detection with root cause analysis, performance optimization recommendations, and capacity planning forecasting. iLO 6 enables comprehensive remote management including virtual console, power management, firmware updates, and security monitoring. HPE OneView provides software-defined management with template-based provisioning and compliance enforcement.
Security-First Design
Silicon Root of Trust provides immutable firmware fingerprint validated at every boot, detecting unauthorized changes. Secure Boot prevents execution of unauthorized code. Runtime Firmware Verification ensures ongoing integrity throughout operation. Secure Recovery allows restoration to known good firmware state. Security dashboards in iLO provide visibility into security posture including firmware integrity status.
Enterprise Deployments
HPE ProLiant excels in mission-critical applications requiring five-nines availability, virtualization infrastructure (VMware, Hyper-V, KVM), database platforms (SAP HANA, Oracle Exadata, SQL Server), high-performance computing clusters, software-defined infrastructure with HPE SimpliVity, edge computing and ROBO, and hybrid cloud with HPE GreenLake consumption-based services.
