2017: Announcement of HPE ProLiant Gen10 servers
In June 2017, Hewlett-Packard Enterprise (HPE) announced, according to the company, the safest servers in the world. We are talking about tenth generation ProLiant systems (Gen10).
Cyber protection of new servers is built into chips, which ensures security at the firmware level of server components. According to the Information Systems Audit and Control Association, more than 50% of information security specialists faced at least one incident of server firmware infection in 2016.
I remember when I first came to HP [in 2011 - approx. TAdviser], I told the server team that I want to create servers that we can confidently call the safest in the world. With Gen10, we did this, "Meg Whitman, CEO of the company, told CRN. |
According to Tim Peters, Vice President and Head of Servers at HPE ProLiant and Solutions for Small and Medium Businesses, many see security as a feature or something built into premium configurations. HPE uses a different approach: creating protection against threats at the hardware level for the entire generation of servers, including for budget ones, he said.
He also said that after more than three years of development in Gen10 servers, for the first time, encryption and process chain authentication signatures appeared on the market for even more reliable protection.
The focus on Gen10 security is very important for HPE partners and does not involve additional costs when distributing servers, Peters added.
According to the manufacturer, companies can use HPE ProLiant Gen10 as both a regular local network storage and the basis of their own private cloud with the ability to securely share data and employees in the office.[1]
