We recently discovered that HPE has released several Plus servers. So, do we need to upgrade our old HPE servers to the new generation HPE ProLiant Gen 10 Plus Servers? Let us go over some of the reasons.
1. Companies are undergoing digital transformation
To turn data into insights and innovation capabilities, today’s enterprises require differentiated and workload-optimized technologies that provide low latency, flexibility, and high performance.
According to IDC data, the digital transformation of the economy accounts for 20% of global GDP1 or approximately 19 trillion US dollars in 2019. While the global health emergency (COVID-19) changes the way of life and work, digital transformation will accelerate over the next 5-72 years.
According to Forbes, in 2019 and 20203:
- 74% of businesses intend to modernize and digitize to support next-generation business models.
- 70% of businesses intend to develop new digital business models and revenue streams.
Automation and artificial intelligence are expected to be used by 66 percent of businesses to create new labor models. - 73 % intend to create a unified digital customer experience.
- 75 % will continue to use remote offices.

4. HPE ProLiant Gen 10 Plus Servers are equipped with the latest Intel processors
The HPE Gen 10 Plus series is powered by Intel’s most recent Xeon Scalable processor. Let’s take a look at Intel’s third-generation processor development history:
2019 | 2020 | 2021 |
2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable | 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable | 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable |
1-8 Sockets | 4-8 Sockets | 1-8 Sockets |
Cascade Lake
Purley Platform |
Launching:
Cooper Lake Cedar island platform |
Sapphire Rapids
Eagle Stream Platform |
Coming later this year:
1-2 Sockets Ice Lake Whitley Platform |
Next Gen DL Boost: AMX
Silicon Powered On |
The performance of Intel’s new-generation Whitley platform will be enhanced in four ways:
- 80 maximum dual-socket processor cores, with high computing performance, will boost performance by 50%.
- I/O is improved and the bandwidth of a single channel is doubled with 128 dual PCIe 4.0 channels.
- Memory bandwidth expansion, 1.6 times the bandwidth increase, 8 memory channels with a maximum speed of 3200MHz
- Maximum memory capacity of 12TB, large memory capacity, 2.66 times capacity increase
We believe that HPE servers will benefit from excellent Intel processors.
5.Both HPE DL380 Gen 10 Plus and DL360 Gen10 Plus perform better than the old series.
