HPE ProLiant XL230k Gen10 Server

The HPE ProLiant XL230k Gen10 Server delivers extreme compute performance using leading edge technology needed to handle complex HPC workloads. This server leverages latest Intel’s Xeon Gold and Platinum series processors and DDR4 2666 MT/s HPE SmartMemory. The new modular, fully integrated, and highly flexible HPE Apollo k6000 Chassis accommodates up to 24 XL230k server trays, ethernet and high

The Apollo k6000 System is a performance

optimized, air

This solution offers outstanding configuration flexibility, redundant power, simplified administration

and rack-scale efficiency that lowers the total cost of ownership needed for mass scale HPC deployments.
