In a recent announcement, AMD revealed that its AMD EPYC Embedded Series processors are now powering the cutting-edge HPE Alletra Storage MP modular storage solution. The integration of AMD EPYC Embedded processors brings enhanced performance, energy efficiency, and unparalleled connectivity to the HPE Alletra Storage MP, making it an ideal choice for enterprise-class storage systems that demand high availability and resilience.
The HPE Alletra Storage MP supports a disaggregated infrastructure, allowing multiple storage protocols to run on the same hardware, thereby enabling independent scaling for both performance and capacity. This groundbreaking feature gives customers the flexibility to deploy, manage, and orchestrate data and storage services seamlessly through the HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform, regardless of the workload or storage protocol. By eliminating data silos, the HPE Alletra Storage MP reduces costs and complexity while improving overall performance.
One of the notable features of the HPE Alletra Storage MP is the HPE GreenLake for File Storage, which offers a scale-out file service designed to accelerate the processing of data-intensive workloads. This solution delivers enterprise-level performance at scale, with read throughput reaching hundreds of gigabytes per second and beyond.
Additionally, the HPE GreenLake for Block Storage has been expanded to provide mission-critical resiliency at midrange economics. This revolutionary offering introduces the industry’s first disaggregated, scale-out block storage with a 100% data availability guarantee. Delivered and managed through the HPE GreenLake platform, the HPE GreenLake for Block Storage ensures an intuitive cloud experience, efficient scalability, and exceptional resiliency and performance for mission-critical applications and mixed workloads.
Patrick Osborne, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Cloud Data Infrastructure at HPE Storage, acknowledged the increasing challenges faced by customers in effectively managing, storing, and protecting their rapidly growing and complex data. He emphasized that the collaboration between HPE and AMD, utilizing the AMD EPYC Series processors in the HPE Alletra Storage MP, provides customers with improved price-performance ratios and future-proof scalability on a unified hardware platform.
The EPYC Embedded Series processors from AMD offer a powerful combination of speed and efficiency, resulting in reduced overall system energy costs and total cost of ownership (TCO). The HPE Alletra Storage MP utilizes a range of EPYC Embedded processor models, providing performance options ranging from 16 to 64 cores and a thermal design power profile ranging from 155W to 225W.
Rajneesh Gaur, Corporate Vice President and General Manager of the Embedded Processor Group at AMD, expressed pride in the expanded collaboration with HPE, stating that the embedded EPYC processors enable HPE to usher in a new era in storage, delivering unprecedented levels of performance and I/O agility within a power-optimized profile.
With the integration of AMD EPYC Embedded Series processors, the HPE Alletra Storage MP solution stands as a testament to the successful partnership between AMD and HPE, providing enterprise customers with advanced storage solutions that drive better business outcomes with speed and efficiency.
