Hewlett Packard Enterprise has announced two additions to its line of fault-tolerant HPE Nonstop Compute solutions. Optimised for high levels of availability, the entry-class Nonstop Compute NS5 X5 and flagship Nonstop Compute NS9 X5 are part of a portfolio of solutions for enterprise operations like payment processing, fraud detection and smart manufacturing execution systems.
The new offerings introduce hardware and networking enhancements with the aim of helping companies accelerate business processes and modernise workloads for today's data centres.
The solutions feature Intel Xeon processors for up to 15% more performance capacity, HPE said. While the entry-class NS5 X5 is available with Intel Xeon Bronze 3400 series processors, the flagship NS9 X5 is available with Intel Xeon Gold 6400 series processors.
HPE has doubled the memory for both NS5 X5 and NS9 X5 by offering up to 8TB capacity. The NS9 X5 offers 2.5X more networking bandwidth, according to the company. These updates, along with improved fibre channel connectivity, enable financial services companies to process more transactions per second. In the manufacturing space, the solution enables multi-plant integrations, resulting in faster insights.
The NS9 X5 can be clustered with the past two generations of HPE Nonstop Compute solutions, enabling enterprises to add new servers to multi-generation compute configurations. This capability allows enterprises to migrate without experiencing downtime, and to scale operations as needed.
These solutions are supported by specialised services provided by HPE engineers who help customers migrate complex mission-critical workloads. Launched on June 2, the HPE Nonstop Compute NS5 X5 and NS9 X5 is available standalone or via HPE GreenLake with an as-a-service consumption model.
“With the launch of HPE Nonstop Compute NS5 X5 and NS9 X5, we are reinforcing our commitment to deliver an architecture designed for fault-tolerance and high performance so that our customers can scale their businesses and innovate with confidence,” said Casey Taylor, general manager, HPE Nonstop.
