Wondering how to get your HPE ProLiant Server up and running with improved security using industry standard interfaces?

Each HPE ProLiant Gen9 and Gen10 Server supports Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI). This industry standard is a set of interfaces between the system firmware, the operating system, and various components of the system firmware that deliver enhanced security benefits for the HPE Servers.

The HPE ProLiant system BIOS is a UEFI solution based on the latest UEFI Specification revisions. In addition, most HPE ProLiant Gen9 and Gen10 Server are UEFI Class 2 solution, supporting both Legacy BIOS boot and UEFI boot modes, providing users the flexibility to switch between modes. UEFI supports iLO RESTful API and is Redfish API conformant.

Wouldn’t it be easier if you could manage multiple simultaneous installations using multiple releases of HP-UX?

Simplify and speed up your HP-UX installation while gaining additional recovery capabilities with HPE Ignite-UX. With this administrative toolset you can manage simultaneous installations on a variety of server blades and systems. You can also create custom configurations and recovery media.

Do you need to manage your Hewlett Packard Enterprise Converged Infrastructure with VMware®?

HPE OneView for VMware vCenter with Operations Manager and Log Insight seamlessly integrates the manageability features of HPE Synergy, HPE ProLiant servers, and HPE Virtual Connect with VMware solutions. You can gain deep insight and control of virtualized Hewlett Packard Enterprise Converged Infrastructure environments while reducing the time it takes to make important changes, increase capacity or manage planned and unplanned downtime. When used with the automation power of HPE OneView, best practices for Converged Infrastructure can be defined once and reused many times to provision an entire cluster with compute and storage fully configured in five easy steps.

Do you need to streamline the AI/ML deployment process? Do you need to support a diverse AI frameworks and scalable infrastructure in a cloud/hybrid environment that often requires customized data protection?
The HPE Machine Learning Inference Software features user-friendly tools to update, monitor, and deploy models that will help you get value from AI/ML initiatives faster. Role-Based Access Controls (RBAC) and endpoint security provide additional protection for ML resources. Dramatically improve team efficiency by using consistent tooling and pre-trained models to focus more on model development and less on the complexities of getting models into production. By offering a product that handles the intricacies of deployment, routing, and real-time monitoring, HPE Machine Learning Inference Software provides the agility needed to ship ML models quickly, iterate on them based on feedback from the real-world, and maintain high-performance standards.

Tired of installing agents on your servers to monitor them? With the HPE Agentless Management solution, the management software (SNMP and Redfish) operate within the HPE Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) firmware instead of the host’s Operating System (OS) freeing up memory and processor resources on the host’s OS for use by server applications. No agents in the OS means no opening up networks ports reducing security threats, especially for those platforms that may interface directly to the Internet. With HPE Agentless Management in addition to monitoring all key internal subsystems (such as thermal, power, and memory), iLO sends SNMP management alerts directly to any Datacenter Information Management system such as HPE OneView, HPE System Insight Manager (SIM) etc., even with no host OS installed or running.

The optional HPE Agentless Management Service can collect and send specific OS and device information that cannot communicate with the iLO, to the iLO via the PCIe bus.

Do you need to increase the performance of your storage system?

HPE Smart Array SR SmartCache is a controller-based, caching solution in a DAS environment that caches the most frequently accessed data ("hot" data) onto lower latency Solid State Drives (SSDs) to dynamically accelerate application workloads.

HPE SmartCache is hosted on HPE Smart Array Controllers and can be enabled on HPE ProLiant Gen10, Gen9, and Gen8 servers with Smart Array P-class controllers with 1 GB or larger Flash-Backed Write Cache (FBWC).

SmartCache is deployed and managed through the same management tool for HPE Smart Arrays—HPE Smart Storage Administrator (HPE SSA).

Could managing your HPE Synergy infrastructure, HPE ProLiant Servers, HPE enclosures, and HPE Virtual Connect with a single, effective product be a benefit to your business?

HPE OneView for Microsoft System Center provides seamless integration of the powerful HPE Synergy, HPE ProLiant, and HPE BladeSystem manageability features into Microsoft® System Center. Licensed with HPE Synergy and HPE OneView, these extensions deliver comprehensive system health and alerting, driver and firmware updates, and detailed inventory. Integrating the management features of HPE Synergy, HPE ProLiant Servers, and HPE BladeSystem into Microsoft System Center consoles, administrators can gain greater control of their technology environments. This provides consistency for software deployment and updates and enables a faster response in the event of server or storage failure, reducing the risk of downtime.

Is your HPE Slingshot interconnected system delivering high performance and efficiency? HPE Cray Supercomputing Fabric AIOps Software fuses large scale telemetry data ingest with job and topology information to power analytics that deliver insights into interconnect behavior and possible issues. Understanding how a large complex interconnected computing system behaves is a daunting task. The unique telemetry from HPE Slingshot’s premier congestion management capabilities and HPE Cray Supercomputing Fabric AIOps Software provides insights which can be used to increase system, workload and application performance, and improve return on investment while reducing the burden and costs of operating a complex system. By Informing system administrators of congestion hot-spots, anomalies, and patterns in the interconnect traffic, HPE Cray Supercomputing Fabric AIOps empowers them to more rapidly detect potential issues, unveil relationships, take preventive action, and improve operations.

Do you need a quick and efficient method for the setup, configuration, and management of the storage controllers in your HPE ProLiant server?

HPE Smart Storage Administrator (HPE SSA) offers a single interface that quickly sets up, configures and manages the HPE Smart Arrays controllers and the HPE SAS Host Bus Adapters (HBA).
