Revolutionise your BMC experience
HPE now offers a secure, seamless path for you to adopt OpenBMC on select HPE ProLiant servers. Proceed with confidence, knowing that our experts designed this OpenBMC enablement programme with the needs of the service provider community in mind.
Unified BMC solution
If your desire is to implement your own self-supported BMC firmware solution on HPE ProLiant servers, in place of our fully supported, highly optimised HPE ProLiant iLO firmware, we now provide a smooth, secure transition path for you to realise your unified BMC solution implementation across your heterogeneous server environment, beginning with HPE ProLiant servers.
Renowned HPE ProLiant security
HPE ProLiant servers are renowned for their security, enabled by our silicon root of trust firmware technology. The silicon root of trust provides a series of trusted handshakes from lowest-level firmware to BIOS and software to ensure a known good state. These built-in security features help you prevent and detect cyberattacks. You can leverage this same level of security when running your OpenBMC firmware on HPE ProLiant servers.
Open, flexible design
HPE makes it easy to implement your OpenBMC strategy on ProLiant servers. Leverage the OpenBMC community to the fullest to build, grow and maintain your implementation on your timeline and with resources you control. And if your needs change, you can easily switch back to using HPE iLO server manageability.
Is OpenBMC right for your organisation?
Important considerations for a successful OpenBMC implementation:
- Your organisation already has an open-source strategy
- Your organisation has dedicated engineering staff and resources who can develop, test and manage deployment of our own open-source software
- Your organisation has people who understand how to manage code streams on OpenBMC GitHub, can download up-streamed source code trees, and can maintain, update and compile OpenBMC source tree
- Your organisation can manage and digitally sign security certificates
- Your organisation has a dedicated security officer who manages our security strategy
