Overview
HPE Synergy is the first platform built from the ground up for composable infrastructure, providing an experience that enables IT to create and deliver new value instantly and consistently. It is a single infrastructure that reduces operational complexity for legacy workloads and increases operational velocity for new types of applications and services. Through a single interface, HPE Synergy can combine physical and virtual compute, storage and fabric pools into any configuration for any application. As a scalable platform, it easily supports a variety of applications and operational models such as virtualisation, hybrid cloud and DevOps. with HPE Synergy, IT can become not only an internal service provider, but also a business partner to rapidly roll out new applications that become business. HPE Synergy supports dual-socket and quad-socket compute modules that provide performance, scalability, density optimisation, storage simplicity and configuration flexibility to support a wide range of workloads, including business processing, IT infrastructure, web infrastructure, collaboration and high-performance computing. The HPE Synergy 480 Gen10 compute module delivers exceptional capacity, efficiency and flexibility in a dual-socket, half-height form factor to support demanding workloads. Featuring the latest Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors, support for up to 3TB of HPE DDR4 Smart Memory, flexible storage controller options and three I/O connectors, the HPE Synergy 480 Gen10 Compute Module is designed to create flexible pools of compute capacity in a composable infrastructure, making it an ideal platform for general-purpose enterprise workload performance, both now and in the future. . Achieve the right balance of performance, flexibility and density for your legacy or new business applications. HPE Synergy 480 Gen10 Compute Modules offer more performance, capacity and flexibility options to meet your workload needs. Featuring the latest Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors, HPE Intelligent Memory, more storage solutions and capacity, unique intelligent arrays, and new GPU options, the Synergy 480 Gen10 Compute is a great fit for any of your workloads, now and in the future!
