HPE ProLiant Compute DL394 Gen12

Meet the HPE ProLiant DL394 Gen12, powered by the NVIDIA Vera CPU and built for the most demanding and secure AI and data workloads. Equipped with 88 cores and supporting 176 threads as well as utilizing Vera’s monolithic architecture, the Vera CPU unleashes the potential of memory-constrained applications by ensuring that every processor core in the system always has access to the latest, most accurate data seamlessly and instantaneously. With twice the memory bandwidth of traditional x86 platforms, a 4x increase in sandbox density and support for up to 1.5 TB of memory per socket, this platform enables large-scale data processing, real-time analytics, and complex AI models with unmatched speed and efficiency. Designed for agentic AI, high-frequency trading, risk modeling, and real-time data streaming, this platform empowers enterprises to accelerate innovation, reduce latency, and securely run mission-critical workloads at scale. In addition, its advanced security features—including HPE iLO silicon-rooted protection and a trusted supply chain—protect critical workloads even in high-risk environments.

"At the NYSE, our focus is to optimize the latency, throughput, and reliability of the systems underpinning our unrivaled infrastructure," said Lynn Martin, President of NYSE Group. "The NYSE processes more than 1.1 trillion messages per day, and in collaboration with Redpanda and HPE, using NVIDIA Vera CPUs, we will be scaling our capacity while further optimizing latency to power a high-performance, resilient and AI-ready market infrastructure."
