Upgrade to Next-Generation Performance with HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12

The pace of technological change is accelerating. Modernize with HPE ProLiant Compute solutions for better performance, efficiencies, and security.

Why Upgrade to Gen12?


65% Lower Power Consumption

Gen12 servers use up to 65% less power per year compared to Gen10 systems.

7x Consolidation

A single HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 can take the place of seven Gen10 systems,
offering 40% better performance per watt.

75% Faster Remote Management

HPE Compute Ops Management automates updates, predicts issues, and provides a unified dashboard, reducing remote management time by up to 75%.

Quantum-Ready Security

Protect your data against today’s threats—and tomorrow’s. Gen12 servers include hardware and firmware designed to defend against even future quantum computing attacks.

How Gen12 Drives Enterprise Innovation

Gen12’s architecture is tuned for the workloads that push modern infrastructure: AI, virtualization at scale, edge deployments, and high-density data processing. 

AI and Data Analytics:

Accelerate demanding AI and ML workloads. Gen12’s support for more GPUs per server, increased core counts, and advanced cooling makes it ideal for model training, inferencing, and analytics pipelines.

Virtualization and VDI

Dramatically increase VM density per node while lowering operational overhead. Gen12 is optimized for the latest hypervisors and can reduce rack footprint while supporting rapid scaling.

Edge and Distributed IT

For organizations running distributed workloads, Gen12’s efficiency, remote manageability, and zero trust security architecture streamline deployment and lifecycle operations across multiple sites.

Sustainability-Driven Modernization

Gen12’s direct liquid cooling and carbon footprint reporting support sustainability initiatives, offering measurable energy savings without sacrificing performance.

Security That Goes Beyond Compliance

Gen12 introduces multilayered, hardware-anchored security features designed for modern threats and future risks:


Silicon Root of Trust with Secure Enclave

Hardware-backed chain of trust protects firmware and encryption keys from the factory floor through end-of-life.

Quantum-Resistant Firmware Signing

Built-in support for post-quantum cryptography (NIST/CNSA 2.0) and FIPS 140-3 Level 3 compliance prepares your infrastructure for tomorrow’s attack vectors.

Zero Trust Architecture

Expanded to select network and storage controllers, providing authenticated, policy-driven access at every layer.

Trusted Supply Chain

Rack-level integrity and transit protections reduce risk from supply chain threats.

Automated Compliance Reporting

Simplifies audits and ongoing security validation.
