HP Launches Compute Platforms and Solutions for Data-Intensive Workloads - Seite 3

These solutions are supported by the HP Haven Big Data platform featuring HP Vertica as well as HP HyperScale Big Data Ecosystem partners, including Cleversafe, Cloudera, Hortonworks®, Microsoft and Scality. The solutions also support key open source projects like Ceph, OpenStack Swift and Apache™ Hadoop®.

The HP Apollo 4000 servers, when combined with HP Moonshot, create the foundation for the HP Big Data Reference Architecture, an innovative new Hadoop infrastructure design that leverages the strength of HP's portfolio to deliver a differentiated solution. The HP Big Data Reference Architecture deploys a standard Hadoop distribution in an asymmetric fashion, enabling customers to scale storage and compute independently, providing up to twice the performance in 50 percent less space.³ This results in substantial reduction in total cost of ownership, as well as improvements in performance and energy efficiency.

Scale-up Compute
Data-intensive, scale-up workloads such as in-memory and structured databases require high performance, availability and reliability as well as disaster tolerance. HP addresses these requirements with a scale-up Compute portfolio consisting of HP Integrity Superdome X as well as HP ProLiant DL580, 560 and BL660c Gen9 servers.

HP Integrity Superdome X is now certified for Windows and is ideal to support SQL Server 2014 deployments requiring the highest levels of transactional throughput and fast response times. With a large memory footprint and high-availability features, including hard partitioning that is 20 times more reliable than soft partitions,⁴ HP Integrity Superdome X is also an excellent fit for in-memory computing applications that require the greatest levels of flexibility for the most stringent service level agreements. Additionally, HP Integrity Superdome X delivers 40 percent lower total cost of ownership than Oracle Exadata X5-2.⁵

The HP ProLiant DL580 Gen9 server delivers the highest performance and scalability in a four socket x86 system, with superior reliability and efficiency for resource and data-intensive workloads, such as in-memory platforms and structured databases like Microsoft SQL Server 2014. It has resiliency features and a compelling total cost of ownership based on the breakthrough cost efficiencies of the scale-up model with consolidation and virtualization. The HP ProLiant DL580 Gen9 server is integrated in the HP ConvergedSystem 500 to provide increased processing power, memory size and I/O capability to process and manage large volumes of information quickly.
