HPE ProLiant DL145 Gen11 Edge Server

The HPE ProLiant DL145 Gen11 Edge Server is a purpose-built 1U short-depth platform designed to bring enterprise-class compute capabilities to space-constrained and environmentally challenging locations outside the traditional data center. Built around a single AMD EPYC 9004 series processor socket, the DL145 Gen11 delivers a compelling balance of multi-core throughput, PCIe Gen 5 I/O bandwidth, and DDR5 memory capacity within a chassis depth optimized for telecommunications street cabinets, in-store retail racks, and remote office/branch office (ROBO) enclosures. The platform's thermal design supports operation across extended temperature ranges, reflecting HPE's focus on deployments where precision climate control is unavailable or unreliable.

The DL145 Gen11 integrates HPE iLO 6 (Integrated Lights-Out 6) as its embedded management controller, providing zero-touch provisioning, out-of-band monitoring, remote console, and seamless integration with HPE GreenLake Edge-to-Cloud management workflows. Security hardening is addressed through HPE Silicon Root of Trust, ensuring firmware integrity from power-on, while Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) support at the processor level protects workloads in multi-tenant edge environments. The server ships with HPE's smart storage battery-backed cache options and supports both NVMe and SATA/SAS storage configurations, accommodating local data ingestion and processing tasks that cannot tolerate wide-area network latency.

Launched in Q2 2025, the DL145 Gen11 targets operators deploying 5G Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) nodes, retailers requiring localized AI inference for point-of-sale and inventory analytics, and enterprises consolidating branch office compute onto a single hardened appliance. Its sub-600W typical power envelope and support for variable input voltage ranges make it viable for deployments on uninterruptible power supplies and utility power feeds common in distributed infrastructure. The server is certified under key telco industry frameworks and integrates with HPE's broader ProLiant Gen11 software ecosystem, including HPE OneView and the Compute Ops Management SaaS platform.

Ideal for

• 5G Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC): Hosting virtual network functions (VNFs) and containerized network functions (CNFs) at telco Points of Presence requiring low-latency processing close to the radio access network.
• Retail Edge AI Inference: Running real-time computer vision and inventory analytics workloads locally in store backrooms where rack depth, noise, and power are constrained.
• Remote Office / Branch Office (ROBO) Consolidation: Replacing multiple purpose-built appliances with a single virtualized platform running VDI, file services, and security workloads at branch locations.
• Industrial IoT Data Aggregation: Ingesting and pre-processing sensor telemetry from manufacturing floor equipment before selective upload to central cloud analytics platforms.
• Telecommunications Central Office Modernization: Serving as a disaggregated compute node within Open RAN architectures inside existing central office equipment rooms with limited floor depth.
• Healthcare Remote Clinic Compute: Supporting electronic health record systems, medical imaging caching, and telemedicine gateway functions at satellite clinic locations with minimal IT staffing.
