HPE ProLiant DL345 Gen10 Plus sets two world records for virtualization

[ComputeExperts]

The HPE ProLiant DL345 Gen10 Plus server proved its leadership in virtualization performance by setting two world records using VMware’s VMmark 3 benchmark tool. VMmark 3[i] is used by hardware vendors and others to measure the performance, scalability, and power consumption of virtualization platforms.

The HPE ProLiant DL345 Gen10 Plus server with AMD EPYC 7762 processors set two world records as the #one 4-node 1P server and the #one 4-node 1P vSAN server, beating out the Dell EMC PowerEdge R7515 server with 41% better performance.

World-class virtualization

The HPE ProLiant DL345 Gen10 Plus server offers the 3^rd Gen AMD EPYC™ processors, delivering excellent performance on a single-socket design. With a 2U rack storage capacity to address data-intensive workloads, the HPE ProLiant DL345 Gen10 Plus server offers improved data transfer rates and higher networking speeds.

HPE ProLiant DL345 Gen10 Plus configuration

• AMD EPYC 7763 Processor, 2.45GHz 64C/128T, 256MB L3 Cache, 280W TDP64 GB 2Rx4 PC4-3200 MHz RDIMMs
• 4 nodes/1 socket, 1 processor/64 cores/128 threads
• VMware vSAN with two disk groups per host: Two HPE 1.6 TB NVMe Disks per host for cache; 8 HPE 3.2 TB NVMe disks per host for capacity
• HPE Alletra 6000 enterprise-class storage: AI-driven, predicting and preventing disruptions across storage, service, and virtual machines, resulting in savings of over 1.5 million hours of lost productivity due to downtime.[2]

How virtualization can improve your business

• Higher core count AMD EPYC processors can provide more VMs with fewer servers and CPUs, helping to reduce the overall cost of ownership.
• Growing businesses can consolidate more workloads onto a single server with room to expand.
• Servers can be used to their full capacity and make the most of limited IT resources.
• HPE and AMD solutions are tested and validated, delivering faster time to value with amplified performance.

More than just virtualization

The HPE ProLiant DL345 Gen10 Plus server expands the HPE rack mount server portfolio based on AMD EPYC processors as a single socket platform with 2U rack storage. In addition to world record virtualization performance, this new platform comes with the built-in security, flexibility, and automation that you have come to expect from the solutions provided by HPE and AMD.

• Flexible compute: Use AMD EPYC 7002 Series Processors for lower cost or AMD EPYC 7003 Series Processors for better performance and faster memory
• Storage flexibility: Choose 12 LFF SAS/SATA drives or up to 26 SFF SAS/SATA/NVMe drives or mix and match with tri-mode controllers

HPE servers with AMD EPYC processors

HPE has doubled its number of rack server models supporting AMD EPYC processors, providing solutions for a wide range of customer deployment needs. HPE ProLiant Gen10 Plus servers with AMD EPYC processors offer customers a choice of workloads and form factors.

HPE and AMD deliver the flexibility, security features, and performance to meet customers’ specific requirements. Partnerships across HCI, VDI, data analytics, and high-performance computing offer the infrastructure required for solutions from the edge to the cloud and everything in between. As the data center becomes more virtualized, servers should be the strongest defense, arming customers with the latest innovations to help prevent, detect, and recover from security attacks.

HPE and AMD: Better together

Robust HPE servers powered by AMD EPYC processors bring you powerful virtualization solutions with advanced security features that provide cost-effective IT infrastructure.

• Accelerate applications: higher performance per watt and unmatched performance per core versus the competition
• Offer faster time to value: Help optimize core-based licensing software and power efficiency
• Protect against attacks and quickly recover from downtime: Silicon root of trust from HPE creates a digital fingerprint in the silicon and helps ensure the server does not boot with compromised firmware. AMD Infinity Guard offers the advanced capabilities required to defend against internal and external threats and keep your data safe.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise and AMD are enabling digital transformation businesses by providing the performance and flexibility of running multiple workloads within the space and budget of a single server.

Summary

The HPE ProLiant DL345 Gen10 Plus server is your best choice for 4-node 1P virtualization and many other workloads.  For more information about AMD EPYC processors, AMD Instinct accelerators and key workload solutions for manufacturing, telco and virtualization, please visit our website.
