Optimizing your resources to enhance performance doesn’t just happen by accident. HPE’s solution for VMware’s Project Monterey leverages the triple strength of our partnership with AMD Pensando to drive ultimate efficiency and resource utilization and translates to the stack delivering higher performance per workload, making it more cost effective, greener, and secure.
Teamwork and division of labor are common approaches to getting work done efficiently and effectively. When team members work collaboratively, their goal is to leverage each individual’s unique expertise for optimal productivity and maximum skill utilization for their specific roles.
Metaphorically, an IT solution stack can be considered a team, whereby each level of the stack contributes its purpose to achieve proper software application execution. Ultimate efficiency and utilization of a solution stack is achieved when it’s optimized for an industry vertical, for a specific use case, and all contributing vendors are cooperating.
At HPE, we refer to this potent combination as an industry stack.
Take, for example, an industry stack in the Financial Services Industry (FSI) that recognizes the unique use case requirements of in-house banking applications, databases, and vendor interplay among each stack layer. Further, security and rapid response time are of utmost importance. FSI IT administrators continually seek improvements and higher levels of performance to keep pace with the furious churn of market indicators and global events.
To assist them, the teams at HPE, AMD Pensando, and VMware® have manifested a stack which excels in the division of labor, allowing members to contribute what they do best for optimal stack performance. Specifically, the AMD Pensando DPU is expressly designed to take on tasks that are inefficient for a CPU. This is also facilitated by VMware’s Project Monterey, which orchestrates relieving the CPU of network management and security tasks. This translates to the stack ultimately delivering higher performance per workload, making it more cost effective, greener, and most importantly more secure.
Leverage common security building blocks, from silicon to the cloud
When security tasks are assigned to the best team member in the stack, network administrators know their data is moving efficiently across a highly secure network. This zero trust security model interplays well with HPE ProLiant server’s Silicon Root of Trust, securing both the inside and the outside of the server. This is a great example of teamwork and collaboration between IT vendors delivering tangible added business value to FSI end-users.
Another typical example of the competitive advantage of offloading for optimization is the Retail Industry. Consider all the activity at the retail edge in a store or at a shopping mall. There’s not a lot of space or power available for IT systems at the retail edge. IT designed for use at these vulnerable edges must be built for maximum utilization, efficiency, and security. Retail industry independent software vendors (ISVs) provide the top of stack use case applications such as customer and inventory monitoring, under which AMD Pensando DPUs, VMware’s Project Monterey, and HPE ProLiant servers reside.
Collaboration that delivers for your organization
Thanks to the industry standard interfaces and validation in HPE R&D labs, industry stacks can be confidently deployed in many verticals. HPE, VMware, and AMD Pensando continue to work in close partnership and stand ready to collaborate to deliver pre-deployment advisory services, implementation professional assistance, and ongoing support in production.
