Today, Hewlett Packard Enterprise
(HPE) debuted new compute platforms with built-in support
for Persistent Memory, a technology that combines the performance of
high-speed memory and the persistence of storage to deliver new levels
of application performance. HPE also announced new HPE ProLiant Gen9
server options and related solutions to help enterprise customers
modernize their data centers.
With today's announcement, HPE builds on its industry leadership in
compute technology and sets customers on a path towards Memory-Driven
Computing. HPE's new ProLiant Gen9 servers, which integrate Persistent
Memory technology, accelerate service delivery, boost application
performance and secure business transactions.
"As the industry's leading server vendor, HPE is committed to bringing
new infrastructure innovations to the market that enable organizations
to derive more value from their data," said Peter Schrady, senior vice
president and general manager HPE ProLiant Servers and Enterprise &
SMB Segments. "We are delivering on that commitment by delivering a
complete Persistent Memory hardware and software ecosystem into our
server portfolio, as well as delivering enhancements that will allow
customers to increase agility, protect critical information and deliver
new applications and services more quickly than ever before."
HPE Compute for Hybrid Workloads and Environments
New solutions and technologies for the HPE ProLiant Gen9
portfolio provide organizations with a range of compute innovations that
are designed for optimized performance in a hybrid infrastructure
environment:
- HPE Persistent Memory.
The new HPE ProLiant Gen9 servers are optimized for the first product
in the HPE Persistent Memory portfolio, the HPE 8GB NVDIMM. This
technology is designed to accelerate database and analytic workloads and
is ideal for any applications that are constrained by traditional
storage bottlenecks. The HPE 8GB NVDIMM is designed around
industry-standard NVDIMM-N technology, working with standards bodies
such as JEDEC and SNIA, and includes back-up power from the HPE Smart
Storage Battery, which supports up to 16 NVDIMMs for moving data from
DRAM to Flash when power is lost.
HPE is working with industry operating system and application providers
to enable the software ecosystem for HPE Persistent Memory offerings and
to simplify implementation for HPE ProLiant server customers
-
New Intel Xeon platform. Designed to support up to 22 cores and memory speeds of up to 2400MT/s, the new Intel Xeon E5-2600 v4
processor offers up to 25 percent performance gains for HPE ProLiant
Gen9 servers. The Intel Xeon E5-2600 v4 processors include
virtualization enhancements, added security and improved orchestration
capabilities to help customers better manage shared platform resources.
With these new processors, HPE has achieved several new #1 server
benchmark performance positions in multiple categories, including
results with Industry-First Big Data TPC Express Benchmark Big Bench (TPCx-BB), SPECjbb2015-Composite, SPECjbb2015-Distributed, and TPC-H.
-
Fast data transfer with high-speed DRAM in multiple configurations. HPE DDR4 2400 MHz memory
is available in a variety of capacities starting at 8GB. For highest
performance environments, HPE 128GB LRDIMMs offer extra density that
delivers up to 23 percent better performance.
-
State of the art solid state drives (SSDs). HPE NVMe SSDs
are compact, economical and offer up to 2TB of storage in a flexible
package that includes Express Bay for front access to drives that are
designed for big-ticket jobs, including online transaction processing,
business intelligence and Big Data analytics.
-
Smart authentication. Adding TCG Trusted Platform
Module (TPM) 2.0 specification 1.16 to HPE ProLiant Gen 9 servers
provides a tamper-resistant environment to prevent unauthorized access
to servers. TPM supports Microsoft BitLocker, which securely stores
authentication elements, such as passwords and encryption keys.
-
HPE Application Migration to Cloud Solution. Secure, tested and validated reference architecture delivered by HPE Technology Services experts to help customers migrate on-premises applications to a private cloud.
"The new Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 v4 product family offers
customers the performance, orchestration and security features they need
to adopt cloud computing with confidence," said Lisa Spelman, vice
president of Marketing, Intel Data Center Group. "Hewlett Packard
Enterprise and Intel have been strong collaborators since the earliest
days of our server business, and innovative products like the ProLiant
Gen9 portfolio will accelerate enterprise's transition to the cloud."
HPE also offers consulting and support services to help customers
accelerate their journey to hybrid infrastructure. From strategy to
deployment to ongoing optimization and support, HPE has the expertise to
partner with customers at every stage.
"As the biggest communications service provider in Turkey, Turkcell
needs agility in order to quickly provide rich services to our
customers, so we are focused on modernizing our data center to gain a
competitive edge," said Murat Akkaya, Infrastructure Resource Planning
Expert, Turkcell. "With HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 servers, powered by the
new Intel Xeon E5-2600 v4 processors and game-changing HPE Persistent
Memory, our compute journey has taken a critical leap forward, resulting
in reduced deployment time for new business services as well as
increased database transactions by up to 2x faster."
