As enterprises move to hybrid and cloud-native architectures, the boundary between physical servers and cloud operations is fading. Security expectations for compute platforms are rising fast: firmware must be trusted, access tightly controlled, and recovery assured if something goes wrong.
This independent InfusionPoints analysis evaluates how well HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 with HPE iLO 7 meets these demands compared to traditional hardware vendors and leading cloud providers—helping decision-makers choose an infrastructure that is secure, resilient, and compliant by design.
Silicon Root of Trust
HPE’s proprietary silicon root of trust validates server firmware before boot, helping protect against tampering and supply chain attacks from the very first instruction executed.
Runtime Firmware Verification
HPE iLO 7 continuously checks firmware integrity while the system is running—an advanced capability that goes beyond traditional server management tools.
