an as-a-service compute management experience that delivers greater simplicity,
agility, and speed across your entire compute landscape, globally.

Trusted Security by Design: Uncompromising, Fundamental, and

Protected
The HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen11 server is tied into the silicon root of trust and the
AMD Secure Processor, a dedicated security processor embedded in the AMD
EPYC system on a chip (SoC), to manage secure boot, memory encryption, and
secure virtualization.

HPE ProLiant Gen11 servers use the silicon root of trust to anchor the firmware of
an HPE ASIC, creating an immutable fingerprint for the AMD Secure Processor that
must be matched exactly before the server will boot. This verifies that malicious
code is contained, and healthy servers are protected.
HPE ProLiant Gen11 servers continuously protect healthy servers at the edge by
providing rapid detection of security-compromised servers, even to the point of not
Data sheet Page 3

allowing them to boot if it identifies and contains malicious code, with IDevID
certificates installed by default.
HPE ProLiant Gen11 servers provide automated recovery from a security event,
including restoration of validated firmware, and facilitating recovery of the
operating system, application, data connections, and providing a fast path to bring a
server back online and into normal operations.
From silicon to software, from factory to cloud, and from generation to generation,
HPE ProLiant Gen11 is engineered with a fundamental security approach to defend
against increasingly complex threats through an uncompromising commitment to
constant security advancements that are built into our DNA.

Customized Performance for your Workloads: Accelerated, Open, and

Efficient
Harness major computer performance. The HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen11 server is
