Simplify and secure server management from edge to cloud with HPE GreenLake for Compute Ops Management, 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 DL380a Gen11 server utilises the HPE Silicon Root of Trust, HPE’s fundamental approach to security that provides zero-trust architecture at the silicon level and ensures all server essential firmware is free from malware or compromised code.
The server, powered by 4th and 5th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors, adds hardware and software-assisted security features, including Intel® Software Guard Extensions and Intel® Boot Guard, which secure the server hardware foundation on which critical apps run and better protect data in memory.
HPE ProLiant Gen11 servers continuously protect healthy servers 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 Gen11 servers provide automated recovery from a security event, including restoration of validated firmware and facilitating recovery of the operating system, application, and data connections, providing the fastest path to bring a server back online.
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.
