AMD EPYC Embedded Series Processors Power HPE Alletra Storage MP Solution

AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) has announced that its AMD EPYC™ Embedded Series processors are being utilized in Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s latest storage solution, HPE Alletra Storage MP. These processors deliver the required performance and energy efficiency for enterprise-grade storage systems, offering high availability, resilience, industry-leading connectivity, and longevity.

AMD EPYC Embedded Series Processors Power New HPE Alletra Storage MP Solution

The HPE Alletra Storage MP supports a disaggregated infrastructure, allowing multiple storage protocols on the same hardware to scale independently for performance and capacity. With support for block and file stores, HPE Alletra Storage MP empowers customers to deploy, manage, and orchestrate data and storage services through the HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform, regardless of the workload or storage protocol. This eliminates data silos, reduces costs and complexity, and improves performance.

HPE GreenLake for File Storage, based on HPE Alletra MP, provides a scale-out file service that accelerates data-intensive workloads with an enterprise-grade performance at scale. It delivers read throughput of hundreds of gigabytes per second and beyond. Additionally, an expanded HPE GreenLake for Block Storage offers mission-critical resiliency at midrange economics, featuring the industry’s first disaggregated, scale-out block storage with a 100% data availability guarantee.

Managed via the HPE GreenLake platform, the new HPE GreenLake for Block Storage leverages HPE Alletra Storage MP, delivering an intuitive cloud experience, efficient scalability, extreme resiliency, and high performance for mission-critical applications and mixed workloads.

Patrick Osborne, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Cloud Data Infrastructure at HPE Storage, emphasized the challenges posed by the rapid increase in data volume and complexity, and how the collaboration with AMD addresses these challenges by providing customers with better price-for-performance today and the ability to cost-effectively scale infrastructure on the same hardware in the future.

The AMD EPYC Embedded Series processors from AMD offer a combination of speed and efficiency, resulting in reduced overall system energy costs and total cost of ownership (TCO). HPE Alletra Storage MP utilizes a range of EPYC Embedded processor models, with 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, enabling the delivery of advanced solutions that drive better business outcomes at a faster pace. The Embedded EPYC processors bring new levels of performance and I/O agility in a power-optimized profile, ushering in a new era in storage.
