The Transformation of Server Infrastructure Traditional servers once lived comfortably in climate-controlled data centers, packed densely into standardized 19-inch racks where power and cooling were abundant. Today, that paradigm has been shattered.
I always wanted to do a Rack and Stack and Power and Cooling Field Day - I guess this is as close as I’ll get! We're live at the Hewlett Packard Enterprise campus in Houston learning more about #HPEProLiant power and cooling right now!
Are Servers Still Relevant in the Age of Cloud?
Check out this podcast with HPE where we discuss this...

Although we live in a world of software, server hardware still matters from datacenter to cloud to edge. This episode of the Tech Field Day Podcast features Scott Shaffer, VP and Chief Technologist at HPE, discussing the evolution of the server with Jack Poller, Vuong Pham, and Stephen Foskett. Although servers might appear to be commoditized, companies like HPE are building optimized designs for various purposes. Edge servers, for example, are a unique form factor and have special requirements for mounting, air filtering, security, power efficiency, management, and more. Datacenter and cloud servers have special optimizations as well, with efficiency, expansion, and cooling in special focus. As we turn to AI and HPC, servers have to support unprecedented levels of electrical power and cooling, with air cooling still very much in demand but incredible advances being made on liquid cooling as well. The Tech Field Day delegates will be on-site with HPE on the same day this episode airs, learning more about the ProLiant line. Tune in and watch the Tech Field Day presentations on YouTube.
From HPE's perspective, the edge is anything not in a traditional data center.
HPE Proliant is focusing on supply chain security starting with custom silicon for a security enclave to build the root of trust and ensure integrity from point of manufacture.
