Key Capabilities & Hardware Innovations

1. Performance & Workload Acceleration

  • Intel Xeon Scalable Architecture: Increases core counts and instruction throughput compared to previous Gen9 systems.

  • HPE SmartMemory: Operates at memory transfer speeds up to 2933 MT/s to maximize bandwidth for memory-intensive applications.

  • High-Speed Storage Flexibility: Optional direct-attach NVMe drive options deliver ultra-low latency for database and analytics workloads.

2. Infrastructure Security (Silicon Root of Trust)

  • Hardware-Anchored Trust: Links iLO 5 firmware directly to custom silicon, preventing execution of compromised system code during boot.

  • Runtime Firmware Verification: Periodically validates runtime firmware integrity and triggers automated alerts if tampering is detected.

  • Secure Recovery: Restores system firmware to the last known good state or factory settings in the event of compromised code detection.

3. Integrated Management & Automation

  • HPE iLO 5: Provides out-of-band management, agentless system monitoring, remote console control, and thermal management.

  • HPE OneView: Delivers software-defined template management to streamline server provisioning, networking config, and firmware compliance across the enclosure pool.

Target Workloads

  • Virtualization & Cloud Infrastructure: High VM density per blade with 20Gb networking.

  • Enterprise ERP & Database: Optimized core-to-memory ratios for SQL/Oracle workloads.

  • Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI): Dense compute footprint suited for hosting concurrent remote user sessions.

  • High-Performance Computing (HPC): Dense compute node clusters in c7000/c3000 chassis configurations.

Enclosure Density & Scalability

  • HPE BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure (10U): Holds up to 16 BL460c Gen10 half-height server blades.

  • HPE BladeSystem c3000 Enclosure (6U): Holds up to 8 BL460c Gen10 half-height server blades.
