HPE has unveiled four ProLiant Gen 13 servers using AMD Epyc 9006 processors, expanding its announced hardware range for enterprise AI and dense computing. The single-socket DL525 is due next month, with a 256-core processor, 16 memory channels and support for DDR5 and MRDIMM memory.

The 10U DL585a, scheduled for March 2027, supports two processors and up to eight double-wide GPUs from Nvidia, AMD or Intel. Two additional dense-computing systems are due next year, with liquid-cooled and air-cooled designs. HPE also announced iLO 8 management improvements, including rules requiring two authorized human approvers for high-impact actions such as key provisioning and secure erase.
