HPE is pioneering a new era in financial services. Our goal is to make supercomputing available at the right scale. Introducing the HPE Cray EX 2500 to power the next generation of services.
Banks, brokerage firms, high-frequency traders, and insurance companies all need high-performance technologies for their data-intensive applications. High levels of compute are critical to power diverse workloads and make smarter business decisions.
However, legacy data center environments often lack the resources to support ongoing growth and innovation. Financial institutions are searching for purpose-built technologies that will help them keep pace with customer demands, deliver high-quality services, reduce risk, and remain compliant with changing regulations. Investing in a new breed of compute will enable them to gain more value from financial data, giving them a clear competitive advantage today and preparing them for the challenges of tomorrow.
Financial institutions are feeling the pressure to increase the performance, speed, and security of their services. Data volumes are exploding from sources like financial products and services, mobile applications, transactions, customer activities, and customer engagements. Organizations rely on this data to predict outcomes, assess risk, and stay one step ahead of their competitors.
These workloads are incredibly data intensive and require a vast number of small calculations to yield accurate results. Many organizations are running a mix of high performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) workloads, which require faster, more sophisticated processing and robust computational power to gain financial insights on demand. The right technology infrastructure can optimize these workloads in order to accelerate decisions, improve service delivery, and boost ROI.
To prepare for the future, organizations are investing in a new class of supercomputing systems that are smaller and more cost-effective. Breakthrough systems are enabling financial institutions of every size and scope to harness supercomputing performance, regardless of their requirements. These technologies implemented at the right scale can drive improvements across financial services:
- Designing and deploying new applications and features in less time
- Ramping up complex risk calculations
- Accelerating quantitative modeling
- Optimizing critical applications and workloads
- Upgrading financial services to meet new compliance standards
Redefining compute in financial services
HPE is pioneering a new era in financial services. Our goal is to make supercomputing available at the right scale to power the next generation of services and applications. We do this by delivering supercomputing systems for any size data center that can run data-intensive workloads with exceptional compute power and speed.
We're bringing the capabilities of our landmark HPE Cray EX supercomputers to financial institutions of all sizes. This robust line of systems provides high agility and efficiency, so organizations can solve their biggest problems without running into performance constraints.
Now, HPE is offering the same compact system architecture with direct liquid cooling and proven supercomputing components in a smaller system. The HPE Cray EX2500 is a scaled-down version of the HPE Cray EX that enables supercomputing at an affordable price for all financial institutions.
Organizations can expect crucial competitive and operational advantages:
- Accelerating financial workloads using a mix of CPUs, accelerators, field programmable gate arrays, interconnects, and emerging processing technologies.
- Managing escalating technology requirements through a single, upgradable infrastructure.
- Decreasing operational costs with high-efficiency power and cooling
- Increasing the speed and accuracy of key financial applications
HPE Cray EX server blades are the foundation for this infrastructure, which enable accelerator-based computing with two nodes per blade. Financial institutions can implement the same server that is used in Frontier, a supercomputer commissioned by the U.S. Department of Energy and HPE to help researchers exploring fundamental challenges in energy and security. The servers are powered by a blend of CPUs and accelerators, including the world’s highest-performing processors, which allow financial teams to work, collaborate, and engage customers faster and more effectively than before.
Right-sized supercomputing systems feature a number of solutions that are leading the market in speed, scalability, and simplicity. HPE Slingshot interconnect and fully integrated HPC storage are engineered to keep pace with data growth in supercomputing environments. These technologies create a high-speed infrastructure that delivers reliable connectivity and TCO advantages while accelerating key workflows. Financial institutions can easily manage vast amounts of data and enhance data performance for a range of financial applications.
Be prepared for the future of compute. HPE Pointnext Services offers professional, advisory, and operational support to help you create a strategy to reach your financial goals and deploy a purpose-built system for your requirements. Once we underpin your vision, HPE GreenLake gives you choice in how to utilize supercomputing technologies. Our cloud service and business delivery model makes it simple to gain value from new deployments by enabling you to only pay for what you use, so your teams can focus on developing new and competitive products and services.
