At the HPE ProLiant Deep Dive with Tech Field Day, Glenn Dekhayser discusses the Gen12 servers, especially their AI and security advancements. HPE showcased integration with NVIDIA GB200 and emphasized Secure Enclave technology, which adds a new layer of system integrity by verifying that even the firmware verifiers are uncompromised—extending trust down to the silicon. Glenn and others appreciated HPE’s serious approach to securing deployments in sensitive environments. A key takeaway was the importance of extending this “perimeter of trust” beyond just the server to include the wider data center ecosystem, such as power, cooling, and telemetry systems—especially relevant for liquid-cooled AI hardware that demands constant, reliable operation.
