HPE Edgeline EL4000 System
Overview
HPE Edgeline EL4000 System
HPE Edgeline EL4000 is one of the industry’s first “Converged Edge Systems” – integrating unprecedented levels of edge compute,
precision data capture and control, data center class security, device and systems managements, as well as large and blazingly fast
storage capability – all in one converged box. This rugged and compact system is designed to perform in harsher edge environments
with higher shock, vi
It is perfect for expanding your IoT infrastructure beyond traditional data center
confines and can also help break cloud vendor lock
HPE Edgeline Converged Edge Systems are also designed to greatly accelerate the speed at which IoT data can be acquired, analyzed
and actioned upon. This enables your business to make real-time decisions that can add value to your operations and result in better
business outcomes. This is achieved through thre
