Why choose HPE over other server platforms?
HPE is chosen for its combination of hardware-level security, broad workload coverage, and flexible consumption options.
HPE’s Silicon Root of Trust protects servers from tampering before they even boot, HPE InfoSight uses predictive analytics to prevent issues before they cause downtime, and HPE GreenLake lets you consume the same infrastructure traditionally or as-a-service.
HPE is a platform trusted across enterprise, healthcare, education, financial services, and the public sector.
What workloads are HPE ProLiant servers designed for?
HPE ProLiant servers are designed for virtualisation, databases, business applications, AI, and edge workloads.
There’s a ProLiant configuration for every workload size. From branch office file and print on a ProLiant MicroServer or ML tower, through mainstream virtualisation and databases on the DL Series, to mission-critical applications on the DL560 and Superdome Flex.
We help you match the right generation and model to your workload rather than defaulting to the newest or highest spec. Book a consultation with a HPE specialist.
Can HPE infrastructure support AI and HPC workloads?
Yes – HPE offers purpose-built platforms for AI and HPC.
HPE Cray XD and HPE ProLiant AI Servers (including the Gen12 DL380a and DL384) are purpose-built for GPU-accelerated AI training, inference, and high-performance computing, supporting the latest NVIDIA accelerators.
These workloads can be easy to over- or under-spec without a clear understanding of the model or dataset. As a certified HPE partner, we’ll help you scope GPU, memory, storage, and power requirements upfront. Explore HPE AI & GPU servers →
What is HPE GreenLake?
HPE GreenLake is HPE’s consumption-based platform that lets you run HPE infrastructure on-premises, at the edge, or in a colocation facility, while paying for it monthly based on usage.
You get cloud-style elasticity, metering, and a single management console without moving workloads or data off your sites — ideal for data sovereignty, predictable baselines, and avoiding cloud egress costs. Explore HPE GreenLake →
Do you provide HPE deployment and pre-configuration services?
Yes. As a certified HPE partner with 20+ years of expertise, we pre-configure HPE servers around your workload and capacity needs, not generic specifications.
Every system is built, tested, and quality-checked in the UK, with quotes returned within 24 working hours and typical build times of 2–3 working days. We also provide deployment advice and ongoing support throughout the server’s lifecycle. Learn more about our HPE server pre-configuration service.
How do I know which HPE solution is right for my organisation?
Our specialists review your environment, users, applications, and growth plans, then recommend a right-sized HPE platform – whether that’s ProLiant, Cray, SimpliVity, or Edgeline.
We’ll also explore whether manufacturer-refurbished HPE Renew hardware or GreenLake consumption could reduce cost without compromising performance, so you get the right fit on both specification and budget. Book a free consultation today.
