HP Launches Compute Platforms and Solutions for Data-Intensive Workloads


BENGALURU: HP today announced new and enhanced purpose-built Compute platforms and solutions designed to help customers leverage all data assets in order to drive business outcomes, such as faster decision making, improved operational efficiency and direct content monetization. In addition, HP announced the new HP Converged System 500 and storage plug-ins to increase business agility and safeguard next-generation deployments of SAP HANA.

Gartner, Inc. forecasts that 4.9 billion connected “things” will be in use in 2015, up 30 percent from 2014 and will reach 25 billion by 2020. This will cause an exponential increase in the amount of data, each of which will have a distinct value to the business.  As a result, the industry is seeing the emergence of new technologies and architectures – from open source data analytics and database platforms to in-memory databases – built to derive value from data and deliver business outcomes.

HP's new Compute platforms have been tailored to meet the specific requirements of these data-intensive workloads. These platforms are purpose-built for a range of emerging technologies and applications including mass content storage, block and file storage, unstructured and real-time analytics, as well as simple and transactional databases.

The new and enhanced servers and solutions include: HP Apollo 2000; the HP Apollo 4000 Systems family; the HP Big Data Reference Architecture; HP Integrity Superdome X; and the HP ProLiant DL580, DL560 and BL660c Gen9 servers. These servers are designed to optimize capacity and performance scalability, flexibility and cost efficiency with unique designs that address data center space, power and cooling challenges.

The HP Converged System 500 for SAP HANA has been upgraded with the newest Intel Xeon Processor E7 V3 Family architecture and supports the latest generation business suite, SAP Business Suite 4 SAP HANA, to deliver faster real-time actionable insights. New HP Converged Storage plug-ins help increase flexibility and reduce customer risk through a comprehensive data backup and recovery solution for SAP S/4 HANA environments.
