Authorized HPE Reseller: Why Genuine Options Matter

Using non-certified or "third-party" components in a ProLiant environment introduces significant risk. As an Authorized HPE Reseller, we provide parts that offer:

  • Firmware Integrity: Certified options integrate with HPE Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) for seamless updates.
  • iLO 7 Integration: Monitor power, thermals, and health for every added component via the Secure Enclave technology.
  • Zero Support Gaps: Maintain your HPE Care Pack eligibility by using only manufacturer-approved hardware.

Modern Storage & Networking Upgrade   

EDSFF E3.S NVMe: In 2026, the transition from SFF to EDSFF is the standard for high-density storage. We stock the latest Gen5 NVMe drives to help you reach up to 245TB in a single 2U node.

OCP 3.0 Networking: Upgrade your I/O throughput with 100 Gb and 200 Gb adapters. Our OCP 3.0 cards offer tool-less serviceability and improved thermals for Gen12 servers.

Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC) Kits: For high-core-count CPU upgrades, we offer certified DLC kits to manage thermal loads efficiently.

How to Buy the Right HPE Server Option

Avoid the frustration of "Part Number Mismatch." Follow our 3-step verification process:

  • Check the Generation: Confirm if your chassis is Gen10 Plus, Gen11, or the new Gen12.
  • Verify the Power Budget: Ensure your existing PSUs can handle the increased wattage of new CPUs or high-density GPUs.
  • Validate via Serial Number: Provide your server's serial number; we will audit the HPE QuickSpecs to confirm 100% compatibility.
  • Expert Pro-Tip: Upgrading memory? For Gen12 servers, always aim for 1 DIMM per channel (1DPC) to achieve the maximum 6400 MT/s speed. Adding a second DIMM (2DPC) can drop your speed to 5200 MT/s.
