HPE published its 11th annual Living Progress Report, outlining Fiscal Year 2025 progress on energy efficiency, AI governance, cyber resilience, and responsible technology deployment. The company reported that net revenue increased 21% from 2020 through FY25 while its total carbon footprint declined 5%, as HPE expanded its portfolio across AI systems, networking, private cloud infrastructure, and direct liquid cooling.
The report highlights infrastructure efficiency as AI and high-performance computing workloads drive higher rack densities and energy requirements. HPE said ProLiant Compute Gen12 servers can reduce data center footprints by up to 96% and consume up to 87% less power compared with earlier generations, while Alletra Storage MP B10000 can reduce energy consumption by up to 45%. HPE also expanded direct liquid cooling across ProLiant Compute and Cray systems, with the company estimating reductions of up to 86% in annual cooling-related carbon footprint and costs under the scenarios evaluated in its internal study.
HPE also detailed its work on AI governance, secure private cloud infrastructure, and disconnected computing environments. The company cited HPE Private Cloud AI and air-gapped HPE Private Cloud Enterprise deployments as options for regulated and security-sensitive workloads. Siemens Energy is deploying a dedicated global platform through HPE GreenLake for AI-enabled simulation, digital twins, and HPC workloads in the United States and Germany, while Isambard-AI, built by HPE for the University of Bristol, ranks among the world’s most energy-efficient supercomputers.
• HPE increased net revenue 21% from 2020 through FY25 while reducing its total carbon footprint by 5%.
• Customers’ propensity to purchase HPE products with sustainability attributes after learning about the company’s IT sustainability offerings and expertise represented $4.4 billion of FY25 net revenue.
• HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 servers can reduce data center footprints by up to 96% and power consumption by up to 87% compared with earlier generations.
• HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 can reduce energy consumption by up to 45%, according to HPE analysis.
• HPE expanded direct liquid cooling across ProLiant Compute and Cray systems for higher-density AI and HPC deployments.
• HPE said direct liquid cooling can reduce annual cooling-related carbon footprint and costs by up to 86% under the scenarios evaluated in its internal study.
• Four HPE-built systems ranked among the top 10 systems on the Green500 list of energy-efficient supercomputers.
• Isambard-AI used an HPE modular data center design that HPE estimates reduced facility construction emissions by 72% compared with traditional construction methods.
• HPE expanded its AI Governance model through internal risk assessments, an AI Governance and Enablement Hub, employee training, and the company’s AI Ethical Principles.
“AI is transforming enterprises around the world at a pace unlike any technology before it,” said Antonio Neri, president and CEO of HPE. “The success of the next phase of AI adoption will depend on organizations’ ability to use creativity and focus to deploy AI securely, efficiently, and responsibly at scale.”
🌐 Analysis: HPE is positioning infrastructure efficiency, liquid cooling, AI governance, and private cloud control as increasingly interconnected requirements for enterprise AI deployment. The report also reflects broader competition among infrastructure vendors to improve performance per watt, increase rack density, expand liquid-cooled system portfolios, and provide customers with greater control over AI data and workloads.
