If performance isn't as big a concern, most servers have firmware settings that enable more aggressive power saving, at the cost of added latency/reduced cpu power/etc. HPE would be accessible/configurable via HP's ILO, Dells with DRAC, etc. They'd want to test and see how much of an impact it made on performance vs. power consumption at idle, to see if it's worth the tradeoffs.
