phoenixNAP Supercharges Global IaaS Platforms with HPE ProLiant DL320 Gen12 and Intel Xeon 6 Processors
Modular, secure, and energy-efficient infrastructure enables phoenixNAP to accelerate innovation and meet growing customer demand.
phoenixNAP, a leading global IT services provider, is advancing its Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) capabilities by adopting the HPE ProLiant Compute DL320 Gen12 servers. These cutting-edge servers, powered by Intel Xeon 6 processors, are Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s (NYSE: HPE) first disaggregated computing hardware that complies with the Data Center Modular Hardware System (DC-MHS) specification set by the Open Compute Project (OCP).
By leveraging modular and scalable server designs, phoenixNAP is transforming its global infrastructure across 18 data centers to meet the evolving needs of high-demand sectors such as advertising technology (AdTech), financial technology (FinTech), and state, local, and education (SLED) services. The shift to disaggregated, pluggable systems supports faster, more secure, and energy-efficient cloud-native and hybrid workloads.
Advancing Global Infrastructure with Disaggregated Modular Server Designs
As the first HPE customer to implement DC-MHS-compatible hardware, phoenixNAP gains access to a flexible, future-ready infrastructure composed of reusable building blocks. This modular architecture allows for rapid deployment, easier upgrades, and lower total cost of ownership (TCO).
The new server systems are designed for security from silicon to software, ensuring robust protection against evolving cyber threats. They also enable seamless interoperability across multi-tenant environments, which is vital for delivering secure and scalable cloud services worldwide.
“The HPE ProLiant DL320 Gen12 servers are instrumental in helping us scale infrastructure efficiently while addressing today’s performance and sustainability challenges,” said William Bell, Executive Vice President of Products at phoenixNAP. “These modular systems align perfectly with our goal to deliver secure, high-performance platforms that can evolve with our customers’ needs.”
High-Density Intel Xeon 6 Processors Drive Energy-Efficient Performance
At the core of phoenixNAP’s next-generation infrastructure are Intel Xeon 6700 series processors. Featuring high-density efficient-cores (E-cores), these processors deliver superior performance per watt—making them ideal for data centers where power, space, and cooling resources are limited.
Each Intel Xeon 6 processor offers up to 144 E-cores per socket, enabling phoenixNAP to support more workloads while conserving energy. According to Intel, the new Xeon 6 processors provide up to 1.5x the performance per watt compared to previous-generation processors, making them a smart choice for sustainable IaaS expansion.
Faster Product Launches with HPE’s Partner Ecosystem
phoenixNAP’s collaboration with HPE provides more than just innovative hardware. As part of the HPE Partner Ready Vantage program, phoenixNAP benefits from technical support, automation tools, and access to HPE’s extensive sourcing network. This enables faster time-to-market for new products and services—critical in today’s dynamic digital landscape.
“Service providers are rethinking infrastructure strategies to meet growing enterprise demands for scalability, security, and efficiency,” said Peter Groth, Vice President and General Manager, CTO of Service Providers at HPE. “phoenixNAP is setting the benchmark by integrating HPE’s modular Gen12 servers, delivering future-proof solutions that adapt to rapid change.”
Enabling Scalable, Compliant, and Secure Cloud Services
phoenixNAP continues to prioritize cybersecurity, compliance, and reliability across its IaaS platforms. Its secure-by-design architecture ensures that every client—from startups to enterprises—can build, run, and scale applications in a resilient, always-on environment.
With modular infrastructure, phoenixNAP is well-positioned to serve growing demand for high-performance computing, data analytics, and SaaS workloads. The company’s commitment to innovation, powered by HPE and Intel, is helping redefine what’s possible in the cloud services market.
A Future-Ready IaaS Ecosystem
By adopting the HPE ProLiant DL320 Gen12 servers and Intel Xeon 6 technology, phoenixNAP is building a scalable and energy-efficient foundation for the next era of digital transformation. This strategic upgrade allows the company to better serve clients with faster deployments, lower operational costs, and enhanced service reliability.
