HOUSTON, April 04, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--phoenixNAP, a global IT services provider, is accelerating its business growth and time-to-market for its Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) platforms with servers from Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE: HPE). The servers, which include the latest Intel Xeon 6 processors, represent HPE’s first disaggregated computing hardware that conforms to the Data Center Modular Hardware System (DC-MHS) design specification developed by the Open Compute Project (OCP) community.

To meet the speed and agility demands of the cloud-native, on-premise, and Software as a Service (SaaS) development customers phoenixNAP serves in advertising technology (AdTech), financial technology (FinTech), and state, local, and education (SLED) sectors, the IaaS provider is leveraging HPE ProLiant Compute DL320 Gen12 servers. This adoption enables phoenixNAP to shift from its traditional monolithic server architecture to modular, scalable, and pluggable designs across its 18 global data centers, allowing for expansion of its multi-tenant facilities worldwide.

Modular building blocks and an expansive sourcing network

phoenixNAP was HPE’s first DC-MHS server customer, equipping the service provider with reusable building blocks across multiple designs for multiple markets. The disaggregated servers enable interoperability across the data center by providing consistent interfaces and form factors engineered for security from silicon to software. phoenixNAP's IaaS platform enables faster product introductions by minimizing the need for ground-up custom designs, as well as lowering total cost of ownership due to modular innovations and sourcing across HPE’s expansive partner ecosystem.

"Service providers are investing in next-generation infrastructure to address evolving enterprise IT requirements across new workload demands, heightened security concerns, and flexibility needs as businesses scale or change," said Peter Groth, vice president, general manager, CTO of Service Providers at HPE. "phoenixNAP is on the leading edge of delivering modernized, advanced solutions and we are thrilled to continue our partnership to power its cloud services. By leveraging the new HPE ProLiant Gen12 servers that deliver next-level security, performance and efficiency, phoenixNAP is offering its customers a trusted, scalable and versatile solution to fuel a new era of innovation."

Delivering on brand promises

By offering progressive IaaS solutions focused on cybersecurity and compliance-readiness, phoenixNAP is committed to enabling every type of company to effortlessly and reliably gain high-performance, always-available infrastructure with cloud-like ease and simplicity, bringing apps and workloads closer to their teams and users. Through its partnership with HPE, phoenixNAP not only obtains leading-edge solutions, but also the technical assistance needed for automating more and troubleshooting less, ensuring that the company’s IT team can deliver superior service to every customer.

"Our customers expect us to enable their businesses to securely scale rapidly and everywhere, which depends upon our ability to easily build, scale, and maintain our platforms," said William Bell, executive vice president of products at phoenixNAP. "The HPE ProLiant Compute DL320 Gen12 servers combine high performance with low power utilization and secure modularity, which not only helps us meet swiftly evolving customer needs but also conserves energy, which is becoming an increasingly valuable resource."

E-cores for higher performance per watt

In February, HPE introduced its HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 portfolio that is optimized for customers seeking high performance and efficiency to power their ever-increasing workloads. HPE ProLiant Compute servers, including the ProLiant DL320 Gen12, also feature Intel Xeon 6700 series processors that provide a new class of efficient-cores (E-cores) with higher throughput for workloads in locations where power, space, and cooling are limited. Providing up to 144 E-cores per socket, Intel Xeon 6 supplies up to one-and-a-half times the performance per watt versus 5^th Gen Intel Xeon processors.¹

As an IaaS provider, phoenixNAP is also an HPE Partner Ready Vantage partner, which supports IT service providers with tools, training, and resources to successfully deliver value to their customers.
