Industry-leading uptime, more power and double the memory
HPE Nonstop Compute solutions deliver more processing power with significant enhancements in memory, system-interconnect bandwidth and networking performance. The two new solutions include compute, software, storage, networking and services that are built on HPE's fault-tolerant architecture. This architecture includes a full-system cluster, operating system services and database. According to IDC[i], HPE Nonstop solutions are categorized as AL4 with uptimes that are 99.999% or 99.9999%.
The new solutions feature Intel Xeon processors for up to 15% more performance capacity[ii]. The entry-class HPE Nonstop Compute NS5 X5 is available with Intel Xeon Bronze 3400 series processors.
The flagship HPE Nonstop Compute NS9 X5 is available with Intel Xeon Gold 6400 series processors.
HPE doubles[iii] the memory capacity for both HPE Nonstop Compute NS5 X5 and NS9 X5 by offering up to 8 TB, enabling customers to boost productivity. The HPE Nonstop Compute NS9 X5 offers 2.5X[iv] more networking bandwidth. These updates, along with improved fiber channel connectivity[v], enable financial services companies to process more transactions per second. In the manufacturing space, the solution enables multi-plant integrations, resulting in faster insights that better inform smart MES applications.
The NS9 X5 can be clustered with the past two generations of HPE Nonstop Compute solutions, enabling customers to seamlessly add new servers to multi-generation compute configurations. This capability allows enterprises to migrate confidently without experiencing downtime and scale operations as needed.
This update coincides with an operating system update that introduces enhancements and adds support for multi-factor authentication (MFA) that helps organizations comply with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS), Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the SOC 2 auditing procedure.
Safeguarding the most vital business operations
The HPE Nonstop Compute platform was designed for enterprises in industries that require uninterrupted operations. This includes a car rental company that relies on HPE Nonstop to handle 80,000 reservations a day. In the financial services realm, six of the top 10 full-service global retail banks use HPE Nonstop[vi] to process retail card and high-volume payments, ATM functionality, and core banking capabilities.
These solutions are supported by specialized HPE Services provided by expert HPE Nonstop Compute engineers who help customers migrate complex mission critical workloads. The HPE Nonstop Compute NS5 X5 and NS9 X5 will be available standalone or via HPE GreenLake with an as-as-service consumption model on June 2.
