HPE High Performance Computing (HPC) Solutions

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.

Do you need a powerful solution to meet today's supercomputing challenges?

HPE Cray supercomputers enable you to tackle infrastructure challenges that require the fusion of modeling and simulation workloads with analytics, AI, and the Internet of Things (IoT) to create a single business-critical workflow. Today's high-performance computing systems must be able to handle these massive and converged workloads, leading to a supercomputing sea-change.

With the imperative to navigate increasingly diverse and complex workloads, the next generation of supercomputers will be differentiated by exascale performance, data-centric workloads, and diversification of processor architectures.
HPE Cray supercomputers deliver application HPC and AI performance at scale, provide a flexible solution for tens to hundreds to thousands of nodes, and deliver consistent, predictable, and reliable performance, facilitating high productivity on large-scale workflows.

Has your data center become an inflexible, monolithic, hard-wired, under-utilized collection of systems and complex processes that require excessive manpower to operate? The HPE Integrity Superdome 2 Server family based on a blade design, a common network fabric, comprehensive cross-domain control and advanced power and cooling management delivers a mainframe replacement. The Hewlett Packard Enterprise Converged Infrastructure (CI) delivers consolidation, modernization, shared services and business continuity initiatives by simplifying, consolidating and automating everything from the start. It provides mission-critical scalability and reliability for the most demanding applications and workloads, while supporting up to thirty-two 8 core Intel® Itanium® 9700 processors. The HPE Integrity Superdome 2 Server supports up to 8 TB of memory and has error correction code (ECC) and built-in redundancy, helping you take advantage of the performance benefits of Itanium processors.

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.

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

HPE Cray Supercomputing Programming Environment Software 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.
