The HPE Apollo 6500 Gen10 is taking HPC capabilities to the next level. This innovative system is engineered for ease of use with the reliability, availability, and security for a variety of enterprise HPC workloads. Leveraging industry-leading accelerators, the HPE Apollo 6500 Gen10 delivers exceptional performance and parallel processing capabilities to improve business outcomes, execute data-heavy workloads, and drastically reduce time to insight. Accelerators enable optimum HPC compute, resulting in dramatic boosts in application performance as well as increased consistency and dependability. HPE integrates HPC solutions and powerful accelerators to harness cutting-edge speed and scalability, equipping business with a new breed of enterprise server to improve I/O performance, networking, and data movement. And with a choice of accelerator topologies, storage, operating system, and add-ons, businesses can fully integrate their compute environments to achieve higher bandwidth and flexibility to match a wide range of workloads and varying customer needs.
With a modular design that can fit into a standard 1-meter rack, the HPE Apollo 6500 Gen10 is purpose-built for simplified access and serviceability. In fact, the system-board module can simply slide out, providing direct access to CPU and RAM for rapid upgrades. Additionally, HPE iLO 5 allows businesses to seamlessly configure, monitor, and update their HPE servers from anywhere, at any time. HPE iLO firmware offers the next generation in server management capabilities, like the HPE Silicon Root of Trust—the first of its kind. The Silicon Root of Trust builds firmware security directly into the HPE-engineered silicon to guarantee ultimate protection against firmware attacks as well as automatic recovery. HPE Gen10 servers are equipped with this unique silicon chip, making them the world’s most secure industry standard servers.
HPE Apollo 6500 Gen10 servers ensure greater resilience, simplicity, and unmatched, accelerator-driven performance for dense HPC environments, empowering businesses to achieve better results and the lowest possible TCO. These revolutionary capabilities promise to drive improvements across all industries. Key examples include increasing accuracy and timeliness in Weather and Climate, enhancing efficiency and productivity in Oil and Gas, improving quality and cost in Life Sciences, and driving product quality and time to market in Manufacturing.
Solutions that are fueling success
HPE’s mission is to create a new generation of HPC machines to execute today’s workloads and solve the challenges of tomorrow, all the way to exascale. The HPE Apollo 6500 Gen10 is the next step in this journey, offering economic control, unprecedented performance with industry-leading accelerators, and simplified management in addition to enterprise-grade reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) features.
This breakthrough platform is enhanced by a number of industry-leading solutions, including Mellanox InfiniBand, Intel® Omni-Path Architecture, and Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors. This powerful combination enables businesses to harness explosive data volumes and rapidly scale to handle demanding applications and workloads. Together, these best-of-breed solutions are revolutionizing HPC:
- Lightning-fast speeds and highly accurate results
