Customer experience is the new proving ground for
an organization’s success or failure,
and this experience is defined by
the organizations’ level of digital transformation.
With a positive, consistent, and efficient
digital customer experience, your ability to engage, analyze,
and retain customers will keep you ahead of the competition.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise has the perfect solution
for accelerating digital transformation
and achieving the customer experience your organization needs:
HPE Superdome Flex 280.
HPE Superdome Flex 280 offers a powerful single-system approach,
offering customers a choice to deploy scale-up architectures
for uncompromising performance, low latency,
and simplified manageability.
Clusters of smaller servers can prevent database workloads
from achieving optimal efficiency and performance
due to internode latency, or the complexities and overhead
associated with breaking large datasets into smaller ones
and reassembling them later in scale-out architectures.
This can cause less accurate results or increased
query response times, particularly when data is highly interrelated
and reassembly is slow and complex.
And a cluster of servers creates server sprawl, and is more complex
to administer and maintain than a scale-up instance.
The single-system approach of HPE Superdome Flex 280, by contrast,
scales up through a single pool of shared memory and compute.
This eliminates both server sprawl and complex data reassembly.
A single system is also easier to manage than a cluster
of smaller servers, and quicker to produce data-driven insights.
HPE Superdome Flex 280 is also ideal as a scale up fat node for
mission-critical database and data analytics workloads
including SAP HANA, Oracle, SQL Server, Epic, and SAS.
Let’s examine what this powerful platform enables for users.
SAP HANA, the in-memory database that provides
mission-critical workloads such as ERP and more for many
organizations, runs efficiently on the HPE Superdome Flex 280,
featuring third generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processors—
the largest SAP certified system in its class.
The Superdome Flex 280 is the result of HPE’s relentless innovation
in building the industry’s most scalable and performant
x86 solutions for SAP HANA use cases.
This explains why more enterprises run their SAP HANA workloads
on HPE than on any other vendor.
Oracle, and its numerous critical applications
including ERP, finance, HR, and more,
not only thrives in the HPE Superdome Flex 280 environment—
it does so at a lower cost compared to scale-out clusters.
A server cluster might drive up costs as the database is licensed
for each core, and multiple servers might mean more cores.
Oracle licensed for HPE Superdome Flex 280, by contrast,
requires far lower licensing and support expenditure,
helping your bottom line.
SQL Server available across Windows,
Linux, Containers and KUbernetes,
will benefit greatly from HPE Superdome Flex 280’s reliability,
allowing it to run mission-critical workloads
much more dependably than other standard x86 servers.
The modular architecture of HPE Superdome Flex 280 allows
for unparalleled scale and flexibility for in-memory computing
and for data-intensive applications.
SQL licensing costs will also be lessened with
HPE Superdome Flex 280’s single-system approach, similar to
the database server’s ability to make Oracle more affordable.
Healthcare organizations that depend on Epic benefit from
HPE’s fast, reliable, and secure compute to improve patient care.
HPE Superdome Flex 280 is an ideal
platform to support Epic health systems,
leading the market in performance and security.
SAS, a leader in advanced predictive analytics
in industries from banking to government, retail,
aerospace and more, performs optimally on
HPE Superdome Flex 280 coupled with HPE Primera storage.
This solution is twice as fast as previous generations,
with top results demonstrating performance of up to 20GB/s.
HPE Superdome Flex 280 is ideal as a fat node
for HPC and AI workloads.
In scale out environments with multiple servers that feature
one ‘fat’ node suited for scale-up, solving data-intensive,
complex problems at scale is achievable
through the HPE Superdome Flex 280 single-system simplicity.
These insights can yield major benefits to industries such as
genomics, computer-aided engineering, cybersecurity, and more.
HPE Superdome Flex 280 features
third generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors,
a unique modular architecture,
and record-setting high performance at scale.
Easily upgradable and extensible,
Superdome Flex 280 offers investment protection by scaling
from 2 to 8 sockets in 2 socket increments,
and is designed to deliver 64 GB – 24 TB of shared memory
using D-RAM only, or in combination with persistent memory.
The solution also boasts superior security features,
including silicon root of trust, a digital fingerprint
that ensures no compromised firmware will boot up,
and consumption models that suit your needs.
Delivery of Superdome Flex 280 includes
on-premises installation and as-a-service use
through HPE Greenlake, HPE’s privately-managed cloud,
allowing you to consume on your terms.
Create the digital experience your customers want and need,
meet user demand for critical workloads across multiple platforms,
spend less on licensing, and tackle problems
with a single-system solution.
Stay ahead of the competition in digital transformation
with HPE Superdome Flex 280.
