Get enhanced functionality and added benefits with HPE Server Options

HPE Memory 

Choosing the right memory is the key to getting the highest application performance, system reliability and faster return on your IT investment. HPE’s portfolio includes HPE Standard Memory—suitable for smaller capacity needs—and HPE SmartMemory, for memory-intensive workloads. Customers may select from di erent HPE memorytypes and DIMM capacities to optimize server e iciency, capacity, and performance.

All HPE memory modules are tested on ProLiant server platforms beyond industry standards to diagnose problems, deliver rapid resolutions, and avoid failures. Additional authentication assures you that your memory is optimized and performance tuned for your server. For more information, visit hpe.com/info/memory.

HPE Server Storage 

As data storage and accessibility requirements grow, you need solutions that can help overcome performance bottlenecks. HPE Server Storage for ProLiant Gen10 servers o er the industry’s broadest portfolio of storage products, which include hard disk drives (HDDs), solid-state drives (SSDs), and Smart Array Controllers.

HPE Smart Array Gen10: HPE’s new line of enterprise-class RAID controllers for Gen10 servers help maximize performance, data availability, and storage capacity. They deliver up to 1.6 million IOPS—65% better performance9—while using up to 45% less power10 than previous generation controllers. And new mixed mode o ers customers the flexibility of using both HBA and RAID mode, simultaneously, on a single controller freeing up a PCIe slot for other uses. Choose from Smart Array S-Class software RAID, and Smart Array E-Class or P-Class controllers.

• Ideal for entry-level solutions that use SATA drives in basic RAID configurations, HPE Smart Array S-Class (Software RAID) delivers the e iciency needed to address evolving data storage needs. Features include RAIDlevels 0/1/5, support for 6G SATA, and access to the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) configuration tool.

• Cost-e ective HPE Smart Array E-Class Controllers provide simple RAID storage and enablement for software-defined storage with enterprise-class reliability and security. Key features include RAID on Chip (ROC) and RAIDlevels 0/1/5/10. This controller operates in mixed mode, encrypts any drive connected to it with HPE Smart ArraySR Secure Encryption, and provides simplicity with the UEFI configuration tool. 

HPE Smart Array S-Class Software RAID

Ideal for entry-level solutions that use SATA drives in basic RAID configurations, HPE Smart Array S-Class(Software RAID) delivers the e iciency needed to address evolving data storage needs. Features include RAIDlevels 0/1/5, support for 6G SATA, and access to the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) configuration tool. 

HPE Smart Array P-Class Controllers

Maximize the performance of enterprise-class server storage with HPE Smart Array P-Class Controllers. These controllers are supported on HPE ProLiant rack and tower, BladeSystem, and Apollo servers, and Synergy Compute Modules. Key features include raid-on-chip (ROC), support for flash-backed write cache (FBWC), and advanced RAID levels 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 ADM. This controller operates in mixed mode, encrypts any drive connected to it with HPE Smart Array SR Secure Encryption, and provides simplicity with the UEFI configuration tool. 

HPE hard disk drives HDDs

HPE hard disk drives (HDDs) deliver proven performance for any workload with reliable data integrity and security at the lowest cost per gigabyte. Available for three types of workloads: enterprise (performance optimized), midline (capacity optimized), and entry. With two interfaces: SAS (12G) and SATA (6G); two form factors: SFF (2.5") and LFF (3.5").

• Enterprise HDDs (SAS 15K and 10K) deliver the highest levels of performance and reliability for your mission-critical and I/O-intensive applications.

• Midline HDDs (SAS/SATA 7.2K) deliver high capacity, performance, and reliability for your business-critical applications.

• Entry HDDs are built for non-critical needs for today’s server applications and storage environments. These high-capacity drives provide the lowest $/GB. 

HPE solid-state drives (SSDs)

Accelerate the performance of your data-intensive applications with HPE solid-state drives (SSDs) o ering high performance and low latency for enterprise environments. HPE SSDs come in six form factors: SFF (2.5"), LFF (3.5"), M.2, M.2 Enablement Kits, Mezzanine and Add-in Cards. They are available in three broad categories based on target workloads: Read Intensive, Mixed Use, and Write Intensive.

The workloads indicate the number of drive writes per day (DWPD) that you can expect from the drive.11

Read Intensive SSDs are typically the lowest price with endurance of <= 1 DWPD. Ideal for boot/swap, web servers, and read caching.

Write Intensive SSDs typically have the highest write performance, with a typical endurance of >= 10 DWPD. Ideal for online transaction processing (OLTP), business intelligence, and Big Data analytics.

Mixed Use SSDs are for workloads that need a balance of strong read and write performance, with Endurance typically > 1 and < 10 DWPD. Ideal for high I/O applications with workloads balanced between read and write.
