HPE launches Gen13 servers with AMD EPYC CPUs for enterprise AI and agentic workloads

HPE unveiled four new ProLiant Gen13 Servers powered by 6th Generation AMD EPYC processors, designed to accelerate enterprise AI workloads whilst strengthening security and simplifying operations. The lineup includes the HPE ProLiant DL585a Gen13, supporting up to eight GPUs for AI inference and agentic AI workloads, and the compact DL525 Gen13 with up to 256 cores for high-throughput applications like fraud detection. Two OCP-compliant systems, the ProLiant XD245 and XD285, maximise compute density for data-intensive AI and HPC workloads through efficient shared power and cooling. The servers feature HPE iLO 8 with industry-first automatic self-encrypting drive capabilities and post-quantum cryptography readiness. HPE Compute Ops Management delivers 50% reduction in server management time. The DL525 launches later in 2026, with the DL585a following in early 2027.

Toshiba, SpeQtral and HPE showcase quantum-safe IPsec VPN protection for critical infrastructure

Toshiba Asia Pacific has validated a quantum-safe communications solution with SpeQtral and HPE to protect critical infrastructure and government networks from quantum computing threats. The solution integrates Toshiba's Quantum-secure Networking Platform with HPE Networking SRX Next Generation Firewall, enabling organisations to strengthen IPsec VPN connections whilst preserving existing infrastructure. The system combines Post-Quantum Cryptography and Quantum Key Distribution technologies to protect against "harvest now, decrypt later" attacks, where encrypted data captured today could be decrypted by future quantum computers. SpeQtral led the integration, demonstrating secure IPsec VPN operation using quantum-safe key material. The solution will be showcased at GovWare 2026 in Singapore from 13-15 October, offering critical information infrastructure operators a practical pathway to quantum-safe security.

BofA keeps buy rating on HPE stock ahead of Sept. 30 investor day, sees 40% upside

Bank of America has reiterated its buy rating on Hewlett Packard Enterprise ahead of the company's networking investor day on 30 September. Analyst Wamsi Mohan maintained an $88 price target, representing roughly 40% upside from recent levels. HPE shares have more than doubled this year following the company's $14 billion acquisition of Juniper Networks in July. The deal transformed networking into HPE's fastest-growing segment, with third-quarter networking revenue jumping 74.9% to $2.9 billion. Bank of America expects the data centre networking market to grow about 40% annually through 2030, up from HPE's earlier 15% estimate. The firm projects HPE's networking revenue will compound at 15% to 20% yearly. However, BofA's model shows free cash flow potentially dipping to $2.75 billion in fiscal 2028 as capital spending rises sharply.
