ProLiant is a brand of server computers that was originally developed and marketed by Compaq, Hewlett-Packard (HP), and currently marketed by Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE). ProLiant servers were first introduced by Compaq in 1993, succeeding their SystemPro line of servers in the high-end space.
After Compaq merged with HP in 2002, HP retired its NetServer brand in favor of the ProLiant brand.[1] HP ProLiant systems led the x86 server market in terms of units and revenue during first quarter of 2010.[2] HPE now owns the ProLiant brand after HP split up into two separate companies in 2015.
The HP/HPE ProLiant servers offer many advanced server features such as redundant power supplies, Out-of-band management with iLO or Lights-out 100, Hot-swap components and up to 8-Socket systems.[3]
