HPE Sharpens iLO 7 and Gen12 Servers at OCP 2025
HPE, Tuesday, October 14th, 2025
At the 2025 Open Compute Project Global Summit in San Jose, Hewlett Packard Enterprise announced updates to its server management platform, hardware design, and support for new AI networking technologies.
The announcements include stronger encryption tools, modular server components, and expanded compatibility with NVIDIA's latest infrastructure offerings.
Stronger Server Security Through iLO 7
One of the significant updates involves HPE's Integrated Lights Out platform, iLO 7, which now includes new features designed to resist potential threats from quantum computing. Initially launched in February, iLO 7 uses a dedicated security processor and a secure storage area, known as a secure enclave, to protect HPE ProLiant Gen12 servers from unauthorized access.
