Synergy

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.

Are your data centers struggling to consolidate large workloads without compromising performance? Delivering a truly agile and efficient IT infrastructure requires the transformation of traditionally rigid physical systems into flexible physical or virtual resource pools. HPE Synergy Composable Compute resources create a pool of flexible compute capacity that can be configured almost instantly to rapidly provision infrastructure for a broad range of applications. The HPE Synergy 660 Gen10 Compute Module delivers higher performance and scalability for your demanding, enterprise data-intensive workloads. The powerful Intel® Xeon® Scalable Family of processors (2 or 4 Socket), broad memory footprint (up to 6 TB of HPE DDR4 memory in 48 DIMM slots) and flexible I/O configuration give your large workloads, such as structured databases and business processing applications, the compute power and memory support they demand.

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 12 Gb/s SAS fabric.

Can HPE Synergy provision physical servers at cloud-like speed? Using HPE Synergy Image Streamer, you can rapidly change images on multiple compute nodes in an automated manner. HPE Synergy Image Streamer works with HPE Synergy Composer to rapidly deploy and update multiple physical compute nodes. Operating environment images for bare-metal use might boot directly into a running OS, or VM hosts might perform quick image changeovers. This 'infrastructure-as-code' capability maximizes your return on your systems investment by quickly delivering applications and services and by enabling rapid workload switching (across Linux, ESX, or MS Windows). Enhanced profiles provide true stateless images, which are automatically integrated with server hardware configurations and operating environment images for simplicity of use. Programmatic access is also provided through the Unified API. Integrate, automate, and customize your operations using HPE Synergy Image Streamer.

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.

Are you looking to improve the operational velocity of your workloads with next-generation high-performance Fibre Channel (FC) SAN infrastructure? The Brocade 32Gb Fibre Channel SAN Switch Module for HPE Synergy represents a composable and integrated Fibre Channel interconnect module with Gen6 technology that simplifies integration of the HPE Synergy blade chassis into a Storage Area Network (SAN). It provides breakthrough application performance, operational stability, and simplified manageability to meet the stringent business requirements with 32 Gb FC technology for HPE’s Composable Infrastructure. It is ideal for enterprises planning to deploy 32 Gb FC to meet growing bandwidth demands of applications utilizing all-flash storage arrays (AFA) and for customers looking to deploy scalable private cloud storage networks using HPE Synergy. It provides simplified manageability utilizing the Advanced Web Tools for fabric set-up and ongoing maintenance.

Wouldn’t you like to consolidate legacy hierarchical architectures based 50Gb architecture or do you need to increase data throughput and reduce latency with only a single hop within large domains of virtual machines or compute modules?

The HPE Synergy 50Gb Interconnect Link Module part of the HPE Synergy composable fabric extends satellite frame connectivity back to the master frame. Based on disaggregated, rack-scale design, it uses a master/satellite architecture to consolidate data center network connections, reduce hardware and scale network bandwidth across multiple HPE Synergy Frames.

The master module contains intelligent networking capabilities that extend connectivity to frames equipped with satellite modules. This reduces top of rack switch need and substantially decreases costs. The reduction in components simplifies fabric management at scale while consuming fewer ports at the data center aggregation layer.

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 master/satellite architecture to consolidate data center network connections, reduce hardware and scale network bandwidth across multiple HPE Synergy Frames.

The master 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.

Do you need to increase the performance and security for 3D product design, geophysical visualization and VDI deployments? The HPE Synergy 480 Graphics Accelerators deliver data center deployments of graphics workstations to improve the user experience for designers and geophysicists with 3D visualization requirements. By connecting data files to high-speed networks like 25 GbE or Fibre Channel, file load times are greatly reduced, even across intercontinental WAN connections, which often requires managing elaborate file caching schemes to reduce model load times. Protecting intellectual property such as design and geophysical databases is critical. Data never leaves the data center, protecting against data loss while enabling worldwide collaboration and reducing concurrency issues. High user-density VDI deployments and virtualized applications in a global deployment that delivers high compute efficiency exceeding levels typically experienced with single-user solutions.
