Enterprise-optimized dense compute

The HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen11 delivers density-optimized enterprise infrastructure services whether it be VMs, containers or bare metal for business workloads with dual socket performance in only 1U of rack space. This makes the DL360 ideal for IT infrastructure and hyperconverged workloads.  

Enterprise-optimized scalable compute

The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 server features a dual socket, 2U form factor with advanced scalability for storage and accelerator so it is ideal for your most demanding workloads that require advanced DPUs and GPUs. The expandability provides a wide range of diverse workloads including virtualization and private cloud, as well as data management.  

Business-optimized tower compute

The HPE ProLiant ML350 Gen11 server is the world’s most energy-efficient server with six world records across Linux and Windows. It is built for business at the edge with flexibility to power next-gen workloads– whether that location is a branch, or any other remote facility.

Customers and the exacting requirements of workloads at the edge, in the cloud–or both–need breakthrough compute performance in an increasingly data-driven, connected world. Intel is proud to stand with HPE in launching 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors found in HPE ProLiant Gen 11 servers," says Janet George, Corporate VP and GM, Cloud and Enterprise Solutions Group, Intel. "Together, we are bringing to market the next generation of platforms built to meet accelerated compute demands from edge to cloud, unlocking new business potential for customers and partners alike.

Reimagine your compute management experience

Every business is facing tough challenges–to digitally transform, address security risks, and operate efficiently. Complex server management is a distraction from these challenges, consuming IT resources and slowing innovation. With the HPE ProLiant Gen11 next generation portfolio, the management experience is being transformed. It provides 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 GreenLake for Compute Ops Management solves these challenges by simplifying and unifying operations across the server lifecycle, no matter where your compute infrastructure lives. The service provides a consistent, secure cloud experience for the whole environment that scales elastically to unify compute management.

Robust server security features

As always, security remains at the forefront of our server design. HPE has worked diligently to match the latest processor and storage innovations to the right server platforms for workloads. By continuing to advance server security with the HPE Silicon Root of Trust, HPE iLO 6, Global Supply Chain Security Services, HPE GreenLake for Compute Ops Management, and enhanced security capabilities in our Partner Ecosystem, this latest iteration of HPE ProLiant servers are more powerful, secure, and manageable–wherever they perform.
