Unleash cloud-scale predictable performance with HPE ProLiant RL300 Gen11

[ComputeExperts]

As a cloud service provider or digital service provider, you face a growing number of game-changing technology challenges. To resolve these challenges, you need a server platform designed specifically for cloud-native workloads. With such a platform, your organization could deliver competitively superior services and performance to your end users. This game-changing server is called the HPE ProLiant RL300 Gen11, and it’s purpose built for service providers.

As a cloud service provider or digital service provider, you face a growing number of game-changing technology challenges. Topping the list is shifting to support cloud-native applications. You also need to meet the ever-increasing demand for accountability on climate impact, as sustainability remains a top priority for customers, stakeholders, investors, and world leaders. And while you face growing competitive pressure to meet customer demands for new products and higher service levels, you must also show waste-conscious enterprise customers how you can achieve high infrastructure utilization.

These challenges are particularly complex, based on the fact that emerging scale-out cloud-native applications require extensive amounts of compute resources—and most data centers using general-purpose server hardware face physical constraints in terms of space and power, which limits further expansion.

To resolve these challenges, you need a server platform designed specifically for cloud-native workloads. With such a platform, your organization could deliver competitively superior services and performance to your end users, while significantly reducing the overall TCO of your infrastructure. Such a platform would also maximize your compute density at a greatly reduced cost with exceptional power efficiency.

This game-changing server is called the HPE ProLiant RL300 Gen11, and it’s purpose built for service providers.

The HPE ProLiant RL300 servers provide an agile, extensible, and trusted compute foundation,” reports Ian McClarty, president of phoenixNAP [i]. “This had made it possible to meet our accelerated customer demand.

Designed to support a wide range of evolving applications and use cases—at a performance-per-watt and performance-per-price advantage—the HPE ProLiant RL300 Gen11 Server with Ampere® Altra® and Ampere® Altra® Max processors[ii] is ideally suited for supporting delivery of digital services, media streaming, social platforms, e-commerce, financial or online services, and cloud-based services such as IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS from the data center to the edge.

With the HPE ProLiant RL300 Gen11—the next generation of efficient compute—you can look forward to:

Meeting performance demands of cloud-native apps within a constrained space. This density‑optimized server design leverages Ampere Arm-based processors that support up to 128 cores per socket to deliver industry-leading performance per Watt in a single-socket, 1U server. With RL300 Gen11, you can eliminate underutilized rack space in your data center. Offering an industry-leading 128 cores per socket, you can extract more revenue from highly parallel workloads—with up to 46% fewer processors for 1 billion requests/second[iii].

Consistently delivering on end-customer performance expectations. The RL300 Gen11 ensures predictable performance at cloud scale, thanks to single-threaded cores with constant clock speeds—enabling end-customers to maximize productivity and enjoy a high-quality user experience. Ampere Altra processors are designed for cloud-native workloads with extreme throughput and latency constraints, using up to 66% fewer processors to deliver 10K frames/second[iv].

Strengthening competitiveness and revenue opportunities using power-efficient servers that deliver maximum price-performance per watt. You can lower your total cost of ownership while extracting more revenue from your physical infrastructure—positioning your organization to offer more compelling, cost-competitive cloud services.

Enabling you to pursue or expand an open-source strategy. HPE offers a secure pathway for transfer of ownership that enables OpenBMC management for HPE ProLiant RL300 Gen11 servers.

Supporting a variety of workloads. With the RL300 Gen11, you can run microservices and/or containers, Web front-end, distributed web-scale cache, load balancers, application delivery, open-source databases, in-memory caches, and real-time caching servers.

Regardless of deployment location—in your data center or power-constrained edge environments—the RL300 Gen11 helps you meet your sustainability goals by consuming less power than conventional chipsets, as well as enabling you to demonstrate transparent accountability for climate impact.

Delivering robust security, reliability, and management. Based on the legendary HPE ProLiant foundation and the HPE Secure Silicon Root of Trust, the RL300 Gen11 embeds the HPE iLO management and firmware stack—creating an immutable fingerprint at the silicon level to guard against cyber-threats and unauthorized physical access, as well as enable remote server management from anywhere in the world.

In closing….

The HPE ProLiant RL300 Gen11 is designed to support a wide range of evolving cloud-native applications and use cases, delivering an excellent performance-per-watt advantage. Offering the perfect blend of performance, flexibility, and efficiency, the RL300 Gen11 server enables you to run many different workloads across your environments. Regardless of the industry you operate in, if you run massively scaled-out, cloud-native application stacks, you can count on Ampere Altra-based HPE ProLiant RL300 Gen11 servers to lower the cost per workload and boost your power efficiency to deliver true value to your organization.
