Synergy

Do your datacenter systems provide continuous uptime with security – while allowing for future growth?

HPE Synergy Frame Link Modules provide basic management functions for HPE Synergy Frames like auto-discovery of resources and health-status monitoring to keep your systems up and running. Security is enhanced by separating the data network from the management network and by a variety of capabilities like Hardware Root of Trust, Secure Start, and Trusted Platform Module (TPM) file encryption. HPE Synergy Frame Link Modules also link multiple frames together into a management ring to scale your single management environment for future growth (up to 21 frames).

Are your data centers struggling to consolidate large workloads without compromising performance?

The HPE Synergy 480 Gen11 Compute module with 4th Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors and 5th Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors delivers exceptional performance, efficiency, and flexibility in a two-socket, half-height form factor to power demanding workloads. The compute module delivers more of everything with up to 64 cores, faster DDR5 memory, flexible storage controller options, and multiple I/O connectors. Designed to create a pool of flexible compute capacity within a composable infrastructure, the HPE Synergy 480 Gen11 Compute module is an ideal platform for enterprise workloads now and in the future.

Does your IT infrastructure efficiently combine compute, storage, and networking/fabric resources with intelligence and security to meet your needs of today and tomorrow?

HPE Synergy 12000 Frames are uniquely architected as Composable Infrastructure (CI) to match the powerful 'infrastructure-as-code' capabilities of the HPE intelligent software architecture. Flexible access to compute, storage, and fabric resources allows for use and re-purposing. Linking multiple HPE Synergy Frames efficiently scales the infrastructure with a dedicated single view of the entire management network.

Creating multiple composable domains in the infrastructure can efficiently deliver available resources to the business. HPE Synergy Frames reduce complexity by using intelligent auto-discovery to find all available resources to accelerate workload deployments. This drives IT efficiency as the business grows and delivers balanced performance across resources to increase solution effectiveness.

Does limited network bandwidth create a performance bottleneck in your hybrid IT environment?

The Mellanox SH2200 Switch Module for HPE Synergy delivers high-performance, high-speed, low latency 25/50GbE connectivity to each of the Synergy compute nodes, and 40/100GbE to upstream network switches. The module delivers up to 2.8 Tbps switching capacity and 8.4 BPPS throughput for the most demanding data center applications. It offers advanced and comprehensive Layer 2 and Layer 3 feature sets, as well as hardware-based network virtualization support. Network reliability is improved with resilient fabric connectivity to upstream switches using Multi-module LAG (MLAG) technology to reduce single points of failure.

Wouldn’t you like to consolidate legacy hierarchical architectures based on north/south design with over-subscription bottlenecks into a flat, east/west architecture to increase data throughput and reduce latency with only a single hop within large domains of virtual machines or HPE Synergy Compute Modules?

The HPE Virtual Connect SE 100Gb Module for Synergy provides the latest performance for your demanding workloads including 25/50 Gb downlink speeds, 100 Gb uplinks, and 16/32 Gb converged Fiber Channel. Its dis-aggregated, rack-scale design uses a primary/satellite architecture to consolidate data center network connections, reduce hardware and scale network bandwidth across multiple HPE Synergy Frames.

The primary module contains intelligent networking capabilities that extends connectivity to satellite frames through Interconnect Link Modules. This decreases top of rack switch needs and substantially reduces costs.

HPE Synergy Interconnect Link Cables are designed for the HPE Synergy Composable Fabric, which connects pools of compute resources. It links multiple frames through connecting the primary module to the satellite module. It gives you the flexibility to choose active optical cable (AOC) with 3m, 5m, or 15m lengths. Customers also now have the ability to choose low smoke, zero halogen (LSZH)–rated cables or the newly created plenum rated cables.

Do you need flexible storage resources in your HPE Synergy 12000 Frame?

The HPE Synergy D3940 Storage Module provides a fluid pool of storage resources for the Composable Infrastructure. Additional capacity for compute modules is easily provisioned and intelligently managed with integrated data services for availability and protection. The 40 SFF drive bays per storage module can be populated with 12 G SAS or 6 G SATA drives. Expand up to 4 storage modules in a single Synergy 12000 Frame for a total of 200 drives.

Any drive bay can be zoned to any compute module for efficient use of capacity without fixed ratios. Use HPE StoreVirtual VSA to create virtualized software-defined storage resources to be among frames. A second HPE Synergy D3940 I/O Adapter provides a redundant path to disks inside the storage module for high data availability. The HPE Synergy D3940 Storage Module and HPE Synergy 12Gb SAS Connection Module are performance optimized in a non-blocking 12Gb/s SAS fabric.
