phoenixNAP is accelerating its business growth and
time-to-market for its Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) platforms with
servers from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. The servers, which include the latest Intel Xeon 6
processors, represent HPE's first disaggregated computing hardware that
conforms to the Data Center Modular Hardware System (DC-MHS) design
specification developed by the Open Compute Project (OCP) community.
To meet the speed and agility demands of the cloud-native, on-premise,
and Software as a Service (SaaS) development customers phoenixNAP serves
in advertising technology (AdTech), financial technology (FinTech), and
state, local, and education (SLED) sectors, the IaaS provider is
leveraging HPE ProLiant Compute DL320 Gen12 servers. This adoption
enables phoenixNAP to shift from its traditional monolithic server
architecture to modular, scalable, and pluggable designs across its 18
global data centers, allowing for expansion of its multi-tenant
facilities worldwide.
Modular building blocks and an expansive sourcing network
phoenixNAP was HPE's first DC-MHS server customer, equipping the service
provider with reusable building blocks across multiple designs for
multiple markets. The disaggregated servers enable interoperability
across the data center by providing consistent interfaces and form
factors engineered for security from silicon to software. phoenixNAP's
IaaS platform enables faster product introductions by minimizing the
need for ground-up custom designs, as well as lowering total cost of
ownership due to modular innovations and sourcing across HPE's expansive
partner ecosystem.
"Service providers are investing in next-generation infrastructure to
address evolving enterprise IT requirements across new workload demands,
heightened security concerns, and flexibility needs as businesses scale
or change," said Peter Groth, vice president, general manager, CTO of
Service Providers at HPE. "phoenixNAP is on the leading edge of
delivering modernized, advanced solutions and we are thrilled to
continue our partnership to power its cloud services. By leveraging the
new HPE ProLiant Gen12 servers that deliver next-level security,
performance and efficiency, phoenixNAP is offering its customers a
trusted, scalable and versatile solution to fuel a new era of
innovation."
Delivering on brand promises
By offering progressive IaaS solutions focused on cybersecurity and
compliance-readiness, phoenixNAP is committed to enabling every type of
company to effortlessly and reliably gain high-performance,
always-available infrastructure with cloud-like ease and simplicity,
bringing apps and workloads closer to their teams and users. Through its
partnership with HPE, phoenixNAP not only obtains leading-edge
solutions, but also the technical assistance needed for automating more
and troubleshooting less, ensuring that the company's IT team can
deliver superior service to every customer.
"Our customers expect us to enable their businesses to securely scale
rapidly and everywhere, which depends upon our ability to easily build,
scale, and maintain our platforms," said William Bell, executive vice
president of products at phoenixNAP. "The HPE ProLiant Compute DL320
Gen12 servers combine high performance with low power utilization and
secure modularity, which not only helps us meet swiftly evolving
customer needs but also conserves energy, which is becoming an
increasingly valuable resource."
E-cores for higher performance per watt
In February, HPE introduced
its HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 portfolio that is optimized for
customers seeking high performance and efficiency to power their
ever-increasing workloads. HPE ProLiant Compute servers, including the
ProLiant DL320 Gen12, also feature Intel Xeon 6700 series processors
that provide a new class of efficient-cores (E-cores) with higher
throughput for workloads in locations where power, space, and cooling
are limited. Providing up to 144 E-cores per socket, Intel Xeon 6
supplies up to one-and-a-half times the performance per watt versus 5th Gen Intel Xeon processors.
