HPE edge computing powered by ProLiant
Edge Computing

Power at the edge. Precision at scale. Get secure, high-performance computing wherever your data is created. HPE ProLiant edge computing solutions deliver the security, performance, and simplified management required for AI and real-time workloads across your edge locations.

Strengthen security from silicon to cloud

Safeguard every edge location with continuous, built‑in protection anchored in silicon root of trust. Enable end‑to‑end integrity from manufacturing through end of life, while automated compliance, verified device identity, and granular access controls help you stay ahead of escalating cyber and physical threats.

Maximize workload performance in any environment

Run AI inference, real-time analytics, and industry-specific workloads exactly where data is created with high-performance, energy efficient, purpose-built systems. GPU-ready and ruggedized designs ensure consistent operation in harsh, remote, or space constrained sites, while reducing operational overhead.

Streamline operations across distributed locations

Manage thousands of servers with cloud‑native simplicity. Automate updates, gain predictive insights, and unify monitoring to reduce downtime and eliminate manual effort. Enable your IT teams to optimize performance—no onsite support required.

Our customers

Make AI work where your business works

Accelerate insights and action by running AI where data is created. Reduce latency, improve decision‑making, lower cloud and bandwidth costs, and strengthen data privacy through local processing. Explore how edge AI boosts efficiency across industries and learn practical steps to build a strong business case and scale securely with rugged, high‑performance edge systems.

Place every workload where it delivers the most value

Determine the right placement for every workload—edge, cloud, or hybrid—by weighing latency, data gravity, compliance, bandwidth, and operational constraints. Learn why a hybrid, edge-to-cloud model offers the best balance of performance, security, cost efficiency, and resilience, and discover how to design an architecture that accelerates real-time intelligence while maintaining centralized control.

Strengthen your edge strategy in a hybrid world

Learn how you can improve performance, security, and efficiency by placing each workload where it delivers the most value. This ESG (now Omdia) analysis shows how rugged, silicon‑rooted HPE ProLiant edge servers and unified cloud‑native management help you run AI and critical applications reliably at the edge—so you can act faster, protect data, and operate at scale with confidence.
