The system can be deployed with a single server, leaving room to scale as customer's needs grow, bringing the power of supercomputing to data centers of any size. It is ideal for HPC applications in industry verticals like manufacturing, oil and gas, life sciences, and financial services.

Does your HPC organization need to develop code in-house?

HPE Cray Programming Environment offers your programmers a complete set of tools for developing, porting, debugging, and tuning of their code so they can develop applications and bring innovations to the market faster.

Do you need an operating system specifically designed to run demanding HPC applications?
HPE Cray Operating System is a suite of high-performance software designed to run large, complex applications at scale.
Based on standard SUSE Enterprise Linux, the software provides many features designed to improve application efficiency, reliability, management, and extend data access.

Is your storage slowing down your HPC compute cluster?

The Cray ClusterStor E1000 Storage System is purpose-engineered to meet the demanding input/output requirements of supercomputers and HPC clusters in a very efficient way. The E1000 parallel storage solution typically achieves the given HPC storage performance requirements, significantly reducing the number of storage drives. That means HPC users with a fixed budget for the HPC system can spend more of their budget on CPU/GPU compute nodes, accelerating time-to-insight. The E1000 Storage System embeds the open-source parallel file system Lustre to deliver this efficient performance. Hewlett Packard Enterprise provides enterprise-grade customer support in-house for Lustre that scales out (nearly) linearly, without software licensing for the file storage systems per terabyte capacity or per storage drive. This allows customers to reap the benefits of the open-source movement while getting enterprise-grade support.

Are you looking to equip your enterprise environment with the performance, reliability, and security needed for the most demanding workloads?

The HPE Superdome Flex 280 is a highly reliable server that starts at two and scales up to eight 3rd generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors. Its modular architecture scales cost-efficiently to meet future growth. Six UPI links per processor result in higher bandwidth and faster data rates than prior generations.¹ Designed to provide 64 GB to 24 TB of shared memory using DRAM or in combination with persistent memory, it is an ideal choice for real-time analytics. Extreme HPE Superdome RAS features such as advanced memory resiliency, firmware-first approach, analysis engine, and self-healing provide increased system uptime. Superior security, including support for Silicon Root of Trust, protects your critical workloads. As-a-service consumption with HPE GreenLake provides flexibility while maintaining on-premises control.

Is your HPC networking solution able to meet your converged workload needs for today and tomorrow?

HPE Slingshot provides a modern, high-performance interconnect for HPC and AI clusters that delivers high-bandwidth and low-latency for HPC, ML, and analytics applications by bringing together the specialized requirements of HPC-optimized fabrics with the ubiquity of Ethernet. This delivers a converged infrastructure with high-performance on both HPC simulation codes and native IP applications, with efficient scalable access to data sources.

Building on Cray's specialized silicon, HPE Slingshot delivers consistent performance and low latency under load and at scale. This prepares you to efficiently service increasingly diverse users taking advantage of your HPC resources, and do so without overprovisioning bandwidth or deploying multiple systems to avoid congestion on your most demanding workloads.

You need high performance capabilities to unlock the potential of your data and accelerate innovation and run your modeling, simulation, artificial intelligence (AI), and analytics workloads efficiently. Now you can answer your most challenging questions with HPC for your standard business processes, removing the barriers to HPC and leveraging true HPC technology in this cloud service.

With HPE GreenLake for HPC, organizations can gain the agility to scale the environment with ease and empower users with self-service. The HPE GreenLake platform can deliver superior flexibility, scalability, and control of HPC solutions with a cloud service consumption model on premises. Open up AI, ML and more HPC techniques with this second generation cloud service, now with a lower flexible entry point, more GPU choices, Slingshot high speed networking, and HPE Parallel Storage.

Are you looking for a 2U ultra-dense and rack-scale system providing the right balance of capacity, performance, and security for your data storage intensive workloads?

The HPE Apollo 4200 Gen10 server offers an architecture optimized for Big Data Analytics, Software-Defined Storage, backup and archive, and other data storage intensive workloads. Its unique, easily serviceable 2U design saves data center space with up to 28 LFF or 54 SFF hot-plug drives. It delivers accelerated performance with a superior bandwidth and balanced architecture, Intel® Xeon® Processors, and NVMe connected SSDs. The focus on security extends from FIPS 140-2 Level 1 validated storage controllers down to the system silicon level, taking full advantage of HPE innovations in firmware protection, malware detection, and recovery. With HPE GreenLake Flex Capacity and HPE Financial Services, you can combine the economic agility benefits of consumption-based IT with the performance and security of on-premise.

Are your High Performance Compute (HPC) and AI environments struggling with file management?
HPE Data Management Framework 7 (DMF7) delivers centralized data management across HPC and AI storage systems and protects scalable, parallel file systems like Lustre and Spectrum Scale. Namespace reflection is used to create an independent snapshot of file system state, allowing you to recover file systems in a known good state. This system maintains file versions, allowing users to recover files from previous successful job runs.

HPE DMF7 automates data movement between tiers in a storage hierarchy, e.g. between flash and disk. Administrators and users can also use HPE DMF7 to move files between file systems, e.g. when files must be moved from storage that is being retired. HPE DMF7 improves utilization of expensive, high performance storage by automatically moving files to lower cost storage tiers, creating a virtual storage space that appears to scale beyond the physical capacity.

Are you looking for a general-purpose 2P server node for your HPE Apollo 2000 Gen10 system to deploy for traditional enterprise workloads such as large cloud and web services?

The HPE ProLiant XL170r Gen10 server deployed in the HPE Apollo 2000 Gen10 system delivers a flexible scale-out architecture with higher density than traditional rack mount systems¹ and firmware-level server security for your high-performance computing (HPC) workloads. Each server node can be serviced individually without affecting the operation of other nodes sharing the same chassis to provide increased server uptime.

Each server harnesses the performance of up to 2933 MT/s HPE DDR4 SmartMemory (16 DIMM slots per node) and dual 2nd generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors in a very efficient solution that shares both power and cooling infrastructure. Flexible storage options can support four small form factor (SFF), or three large form factor (LFF) disk drives or four NVMe solid state drives (SSDs).
