HPE said the ProLiant Compute DL394 Gen12 was built with agentic AI orchestration, reinforcement learning, and high-volume data processing in mind. On the security side, HPE has integrated its Silicon Root of Trust and iLO 7 technologies into the machine, which also boasts low-latency performance and high memory bandwidth. The server will be available in fall 2026.
The New York Stock Exchange said it plans to scale its capacity using the new server. "NYSE processes more than 1.1 trillion messages per day, and in collaboration with Redpanda and HPE, using NVIDIA Vera CPUs, we will be scaling our capacity while further optimizing latency to power a high-performance, resilient, and AI-ready market infrastructure," NYSE Group President Lynn Martin said in a statement.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang also commented on the launch. "Agentic AI has arrived, and it needs a new CPU," Huang said in a statement. "Vera was built to orchestrate AI factories — delivering 2x the efficiency and faster task completion than x86. With HPE ProLiant Compute DL394 Gen12, enterprises can put Vera to work."
Huang separately announced at Computex that Nvidia's Vera CPU for data centers is now in full production. Early customers include Anthropic, OpenAI, SpaceX's xAI, Dell $DELL, Oracle $ORCL, and CoreWeave, according to CNBC.
HPE is scheduled to report its second-quarter earnings after market close on Monday. Analysts expect the company to report quarterly earnings of 54 cents per share and revenue of $9.82 billion, according to Benzinga.
A Morningstar research note cited by Stocktwits noted that server sales account for approximately half of HPE's total revenue, and that the company has turned to its networking segment — bolstered by the Juniper Networks $JNPR acquisition — as a key area of growth.
