Explore HPE ProLiant Compute rugged, compact, and intelligent edge computing solutions—engineered for performance in any environment. Power at the edge. Precision at scale.
Remote management without the miles: HPE Compute Ops Management
Managing compute infrastructure across edge, core, and cloud locations is more complex than ever. HPE Compute Ops Management simplifies this challenge by enabling secure, centralized, and remote lifecycle management of HPE ProLiant servers—no matter where they’re deployed.
With remote capabilities, IT teams can provision, monitor, update, and troubleshoot systems without being physically present. This not only reduces operational overhead and travel costs but also accelerates response times and improves uptime. Whether you're supporting a retail branch, industrial site, or telco edge deployment, remote management ensures your infrastructure remains agile, resilient, and secure.
Secure from the start: Edge security with HPE iLO
Distributed environments often lack the physical and network protections that centralized data centers have, making them vulnerable to firmware tampering, unauthorized access, and data breaches. HPE iLO (Integrated Lights-Out) delivers a hardened foundation for server security—right where it’s needed most. With silicon root of trust, secure boot, and runtime firmware validation, iLO ensures that your edge infrastructure is protected from the moment it powers on.
Beyond physical security, iLO enables secure remote management, encrypted communications, and proactive threat detection. Whether you're deploying in a retail branch, industrial site, or telco edge, HPE iLO helps safeguard your data, devices, and operations—without compromising performance or control.
Edge AI: Powering smarter, faster insights everywhere
The edge is no longer just a data collection point—it’s an AI‑powered business center. With HPE ProLiant edge computing solutions, organizations deploy AI and analytics where data is generated, enabling real‑time insights and faster responses. From smart surveillance to predictive maintenance, intelligence at the edge transforms operations across industries.
By processing data locally, HPE edge systems reduce latency, preserve bandwidth, and enhance privacy. Whether you're managing retail inventory, diagnosing medical conditions, or automating industrial workflows, edge intelligence empowers you to act with speed, precision, and confidence.
