IT Infrastructure

The HPE Composable Fabric FM 1006 Switch, a passive optical interconnect module, uses fabric and extender interfaces to connect Top-of-Rack Fabric Modules into a meshed network while maintaining all the photonic switching capabilities of the traditional Composable Fabric solution. The interconnect module provides 12 fabric module port connections that interconnect up to 6 Hewlett Packard Enterprise rack connectivity modules. The module also has extender ports to connect multiple modules together to build larger fabrics. The mesh architecture enables linear scaling, with each additional switch adding fabric capacity, resiliency and multi-path options.

HPE InfoSight eliminates wasted time and headaches by transforming how storage is managed and supported. Through cloud-based predictive analytics and machine learning, InfoSight predicts and resolves 86% of problems before your business is impacted and ensures 99.9999% of guaranteed availability. [1] And, as it analyzes and correlates millions of sensors every second, all customers benefit as their systems get smarter and more reliable. InfoSight watches over your infrastructure 24/7 so you don’t have to spend your days, nights, and weekends dealing with storage issues anymore.

What does it mean for Composable Infrastructure be managed like ‘infrastructure as code’? HPE Synergy Composer provides native infrastructure management for composing and recomposing compute, storage, and fabric resources to meet any workload. ‘Infrastructure as code’ capability provides on-demand delivery and support of applications and services with consistent governance, compliance, and integration. This is a paradigm shift in managing infrastructure. Software-defined architecture auto-discovers and self-assimilates HPE Synergy resources for immediate use with template-driven operations. This intelligence increases the speed, efficiency, and reliability of operations. HPE Composer deploys, monitors, and updates the infrastructure from a single interface or from the Unified API. Infrastructure can be deployed for traditional, virtualized, containerized, and cloud environments. Resources can be updated, flexed, and redeployed in a frictionless manner without service interruptions.

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.

What’s common between the Enterprise Edge, Media Edge and Industrial IoT Edge?

They all run on the HPE industry-leading portfolio of Converged Edge Systems. The HPE Edgeline EL4000 Converged Edge System, coupled with Citrix technology, is a perfect enterprise or SMB solution for delivering simple, smart, dense and secure desktops or applications, from anywhere - to any device. Multiple System Operators (MSO) and Over-The-Top (OTT) providers love the ability to cache, rapidly process and easily manage video, audio and other rich media in one converged system. Doing all of this at the edge means huge networking cost savings and a superior consumer viewing experience. Rugged HPE Edgeline systems integrated with precision data capture/control, enterprise grade security, systems management and blazingly fast storage are also the ideal choice for harsh Industrial IoT environments. Break cloud vendor lock-in and enable true edge analytics through three points of convergence in one box.

Is your company struggling with moving analytics to the edge of your network? The HPE GL10 IoT Gateway is an entry-level rugged compute solution designed to operate in industrial environments such as manufacturing, smart cities, or oil and gas. This gateway comes optimally configured with CPU, memory, connectivity and an expansive I/O selection addressing a host of Internet of Things (loT) needs. This enables companies to process data streams real-time before the data is stored for additional analysis. The HPE Edgeline product families are complete solutions out-of-the-box that are easy-to-use and quick-to-deploy. A universal mounting kit as well as a universal power kit are included. The HPE GL10 IoT Gateway brings computing and analytics closer to the edge of the network helping customers to quickly analyze data being generated in real-time enabling them to act fast reducing the chance of a lost opportunity – or a missed red flag.

Is your company struggling with moving analytics to the edge of your network?

The HPE GL20 IoT Gateway is a mid-level rugged compute solution designed to operate in industrial environments such as manufacturing, smart cities, or oil and gas.

Are you struggling to extract business value from the massive amounts of data produced in a plant, branch office, retail outlet, or Internet-of-Things (IoT) edge? Is business agility affected because it’s too slow, expensive or risky to send information from the edge to a data center or cloud for later analysis?

The HPE Edgeline EL1000 Converged Edge System is an industry first, integrating unprecedented levels of edge compute, precision data capture and control, data center-class security, device and systems management, as well as large and blazingly fast storage capabilities – in one converged box. This rugged and compact system is designed to perform in harsher edge environments with higher shock, vibration and temperature levels. It is perfect for expanding your IoT infrastructure beyond traditional data center confines and can also help break cloud vendor lock-in to enable true edge computing.

This is achieved through three points of convergence in one box.
