HPE Synergy 660 Gen10 Compute Module
Synergy Compute

Overview:

Are your data centers struggling to consolidate large workloads without compromising performance?

Delivering a truly agile and efficient IT infrastructure requires the transformation of traditionally rigid physical systems into flexible physical or virtual resource pools. HPE Synergy Composable Compute resources creates a pool of flexible compute capacity that can be configured almost instantly to rapidly provision infrastructure for a broad range of applications.

The HPE Synergy 660 Gen10 Compute Module delivers higher performance and scalability for your demanding, enterprise dataintensive workloads. The powerful Intel Xeon Scalable Family of processors (2 or 4 Socket), broad memory footprint (up to 6TB of HPE DDR4 memory in 48 DIMM slots) and flexible I/O configuration give your large workloads like structured databases and business processing applications the compute power and memory support they demand.

• The most secure server with exclusive HPE Silicon Root of Trust. Protect your applications and assets against downtime associated with hacks and viruses.
• Greater performance and flexibility with Intel Xeon Scalable Family of processors on the HPE Synergy 660 Gen10 architecture.
• Intelligent System Tuning with processor smoothing and workloads matching to improve processor throughput/overall performance up to 8% over previous generation.
• Max memory 6TB (with 128GB DIMMs available 2H17) for larger in-memory database and analytic applications.
• New hybrid Smart Array for both RAID and HBA zoning in a single controller; internal M.2 storage options that add boot flexibility and additional local storage capacity.

Hardware Specs:

HPE Synergy, the first platform built from the ground up for Composable Infrastructure, offers an experience that empowers IT to create and deliver new value instantly and continuously. It is a single infrastructure that reduces operational complexity for traditional workloads and increases operational velocity for the new breed of applications and services. Through a single interface, HPE Synergy composes physical and virtual compute, storage, and fabric pools into any configuration for any application. As an extensible platform, it easily enables a broad range of applications and operational models such as virtualization, hybrid cloud, and DevOps. With HPE Synergy, IT can become not just the internal service provider but the business partner to rapidly launch new applications that become the business.

HPE Synergy supports both two-socket and four-socket compute modules which provide the performance, scalability, density optimization, storage simplicity, and configuration flexibility to power a variety of workloads, including business processing, IT infrastructure, web infrastructure, collaborative, and high-performance computing.

The HPE Synergy 660 Gen10 Compute Module delivers agility, control and security in a four-socket, full-height form factor to support demanding workloads and virtualization density. Powered by 2 or 4 Intel® Xeon® Scalable family processors, 48 slots for HPE DDR4 SmartMemory supporting up to 6TB, flexible storage controller options with up to four SFF drives (8 uFF drives) and/or up to 4 internal M.2 drives, and six (6) I/O mezzanine slots. this compute module is designed to create a pool of flexible compute capacity within a composable infrastructure. This makes the HPE Synergy 660 Gen10 Compute Module the ideal platform for virtualization density, high availability, and scale-up enterprise workloads.
