HPE introduces next-generation ProLiant servers engineered for advanced security, AI automation and greater performance

Zawya13-02-2025
Dubai, United Arab Emirates – Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE: HPE) today announced eight new HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 servers, the latest additions to a new generation of enterprise servers that introduce industry-first security capabilities, optimize performance for complex workloads and boost productivity with management features enhanced by artificial intelligence (AI). The new servers will feature upcoming Intel Xeon 6 processors for data center and edge environments.
'Our customers are tackling workloads that are overwhelmingly data-intensive and growing ever-more demanding,' said Krista Satterthwaite, senior vice president and general manager, Compute at HPE. 'The new HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 servers give organizations – spanning public sector, enterprise and vertical industries like finance, healthcare and more – the horsepower and management insights they need to thrive while balancing their sustainability goals and managing costs. This is a modern enterprise platform engineered for the hybrid world, designed with innovative security and control capabilities to help companies prevail over the evolving threat landscape and performance challenges that their legacy hardware cannot address.'
Chip-to-Cloud and Full Lifecycle Security
The HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 portfolio sets a new standard for enterprise security with built-in safeguards at every layer – from the chip to the cloud – and every phase of the server lifecycle. HPE Integrated Lights Out (iLO) 7 introduces an enhanced and dedicated security processor called secure enclave that is engineered from the ground up as HPE intellectual property. HPE ProLiant Compute servers with HPE iLO 7 will help organizations safeguard against future threats as the first server with quantum computing-resistant readiness and to meet the requirements for a high-level cryptographic security standard, the FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certification.
The chip-enhanced security features of HPE iLO 7 uniquely distinguish HPE ProLiant servers from other vendors. Embedded into the server hardware, secure enclave establishes an unbreakable chain of trust to protect against firmware attacks and creates full line-of-sight from the factory and throughout HPE's trusted supply chain. This extends to the end of the product lifecycle with HPE Onsite Decommission Services which collects equipment and transports it to an authorized sorting and recycling facility.
AI-Driven Insights Improve Operations Management, Automation and Power Efficiency
HPE Compute Ops Management is a cloud-based software platform that helps customers secure and automate server environments. Proactive and predictive automation, now enhanced with AI-driven insights, helps organizations improve energy efficiency by forecasting power usage and enabling enterprises to set thresholds to control costs and carbon emissions on a worldwide level. A new global map view simplifies management so customers can instantly identify server health issues across distributed IT environments and multi-vendor toolset integration reduces downtime by up to 4.8 hours per server every year. Automated on-boarding simplifies server set-up and ongoing management, particularly in remote or branch-office deployments where local IT resources are not available.
All new HPE Compute Ops Management features, including AI-informed insights, new map-based visibility and third-party tool integration, will be available to HPE ProLiant Compute Gen10 servers and newer.
To aid customers evaluating future purchases, a standalone tool called HPE Power Advisor estimates environment performance metrics such as energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions.
Servers Optimized for Performance, Energy Efficiency and Available with Direct Liquid Cooling
New additions to the HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 portfolio are right-sized to address demanding workloads that include AI, data analytics, edge computing, hybrid cloud and virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) solutions. Addressing the exponential growth in power demands placed on data centers, the HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 portfolio is engineered to optimize performance, energy efficiency and cost with up to 41% better performance per watt compared to legacy enterprise systems. HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 servers deliver up to 65% in power savings per year and enable organizations to free up data center capacity with one Gen12 server providing the same compute performance as seven Gen10 servers.
'Partnering with reliable, innovative hardware vendors like HPE helps us meet the evolving needs of our clients and empower them with comprehensive, workload-optimized IT infrastructure solutions,' said William Bell, executive vice president, Products at phoenixNAP. 'We were the first customer in the world to order HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 servers and the benefits of the upgrade were immediate. By delivering these advanced technologies as a service, phoenixNAP enables organizations of all sizes to tackle challenges related to performance, energy efficiency, data security, and infrastructure management at scale.'
To meet customer demand for more energy efficient data centers, HPE is offering optional direct liquid cooling (DLC) on Intel-based HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 one-socket and two-socket rack servers. Liquid removes heat more efficiently than air, removing more than 3,000 times more heat based on volume. HPE has built the world's fastest direct-liquid cooled supercomputers and with more than 300 DLC patents and over 50 years of experience, HPE is a leader in deploying direct liquid-cooled servers and data centers.
Availability
Six of the eight new HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 servers featuring upcoming Intel Xeon 6 processors will be available Q1 2025. This includes HPE ProLiant Compute DL320, DL340, DL360, DL380, DL380a and ML350 Gen12 servers. HPE Synergy 480 and HPE ProLiant Compute DL580 Gen12 servers are expected Summer 2025.
The HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 portfolio will be available standalone or via HPE GreenLake, offering scalability, cost efficiency and service agility. These solutions can be purchased through an authorized channel partner. HPE Services helps customers make the most of the HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 portfolio by providing advisory, professional, operational, managed, financial and asset management assistance to accelerate business operations.

With this launch, Coursera's Generative AI (GenAI) catalog now includes over 925 courses designed to equip learners worldwide with essential AI skills. As automation accelerates and industries transform, the need for reskilling has never been more pressing. With 46% of on-the-job skills expected to change by 2030, compared to 39% globally, the region is seeing one of the world's most pronounced rates of skills transformation, underscoring the critical importance of equipping workers with new, in-demand capabilities. In the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, GenAI enrollments on Coursera have surpassed 500,000, with one enrollment every two minutes in 2025. Learners in the UAE and Saudi Arabia have each surpassed 100,000 enrollments, averaging one new enrollment every nine minutes. Since ChatGPT's launch less than three years ago, learners in MENA have spent nearly half a million learning hours on Coursera developing GenAI skills, equivalent to over 53 years of learning.

Demand spans generations, with millennials leading at 60% of enrollments, followed by Gen X (21%), Gen Z (18%), and Boomers (1%). However, gender disparities remain, with women making up only 25% of GenAI enrollments in MENA, signaling a clear need for targeted initiatives to foster more inclusive participation. Coursera has also been at the forefront of integrating AI to transform learning experiences and expand access. The company's GenAI-powered tools include Coursera Coach, a personal tutor powered by LLMs, helping learners with questions, feedback, and summaries, as well as career advice. Coursera data shows that learners using Coach are 9.5% more likely to pass quizzes on the first attempt and complete 11.6% more items per learning hour. Learners in MENA have actively engaged with Coursera Coach, with 175K learners exchanging nearly 240K messages. Furthermore, to break language barriers and boost inclusivity, Coursera has leveraged AI to translate more than 5,500 courses and 65 Professional Certificates into 26 languages, including Arabic and French. This has helped engage over 120,000 learners in MENA, driving more than 400,000 enrollments in translated content, with learners in Saudi Arabia ranking among the top three globally for engagement with these courses. Across the Middle East and North Africa, learners are embracing GenAI education at a remarkable pace to meet the changing demands of industries and workplaces.
