Simplify and secure server management from edge to cloud with HPE GreenLake for Compute Ops Management. HPE GreenLake for Compute Ops Management is an as-a-service compute management experience that delivers greater simplicity, agility, and speed across your entire compute landscape, globally.

Trusted Security by Design: Uncompromising, Fundamental, and Protected

The HPE ProLiant DL325 Gen11 server is tied into the silicon root of trust and the AMD Secure Processor, a dedicated security processor embedded in the AMD EPYC system on a chip (SoC), to manage secure boot, memory encryption, and secure virtualization.

HPE ProLiant Gen11 servers use the silicon root of trust to anchor the firmware of an HPE ASIC, creating an immutable fingerprint for the AMD Secure Processor that must be matched exactly before the server will boot. This helps ensure malicious code is contained, and healthy servers are protected.

HPE ProLiant Gen11 servers continuously protect healthy servers at the edge by providing rapid detection of security-compromised servers, even to the point of not allowing them to boot if it identifies and contains malicious code, with IDevID certificates installed by default.

HPE ProLiant Gen 11 servers provide automated recovery from a security event, including restoration of validated firmware, and facilitating recovery of the operating system, application, and data connections, and providing a fast path to bring a server back online and into normal operations.

From silicon to software, from factory to cloud, and from generation to generation, HPE ProLiant Gen11 is engineered with a fundamental security approach to defend against increasingly complex threats through an uncompromising commitment to constant security advancements that are built into our DNA.

Customized Performance for your Workloads: Accelerated, Open, and Efficient

The HPE ProLiant DL325 Gen11 server is an excellent choice for virtualized workloads such as software-defined compute, CDN, and VDI, and secure edge apps that require balancing processor, memory, and network bandwidth.

Harness major computer performance. The HPE ProLiant DL325 Gen11 server is powered by the 4th Generation AMD EPYC™ Processors with 5nm technology that supports up to 96 cores, 400W, and 384 MB of L3 cache.

Advanced data transfer rates and higher network speeds from the PCIe Gen5 serial expansion bus, with up to 2x16 PCIe Gen5 and 2 OCP slots, improve I/O throughput and reduce latency.

Increase memory bandwidth and performance, and lower power requirements with 12 DIMM channels per processor for up to 3 TB1 total DDR5 memory.
