HPE Synergy 12000 / 480 Gen11

Overview

The HPE Synergy 12000 / 480 Gen11 solution is a high-performance, composable infrastructure platform designed for modern data centers. It combines the HPE Synergy 12000 Frame as a modular chassis and the Synergy 480 Gen11 Compute Module to deliver scalable compute, memory, and I/O resources in a flexible, software-defined architecture.

• The Synergy 12000 Frame acts as the foundational structure that pools compute, storage, fabric, power, and cooling resources, managed via a unified interface.
• The Synergy 480 Gen11 Compute Module plugs into that frame, offering dual-socket, half-height compute capabilities with support for 4th and 5th Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors, DDR5 memory, and modern I/O.
• This combination enables administrators to dynamically compose and recompose resources to match workload needs, offering operational flexibility, reduced complexity, and improved utilization.

This platform is ideal for enterprises seeking to streamline infrastructure management, accelerate provisioning, and support both traditional and cloud-native workloads with one integrated system.

Features

Here are some of the standout features and benefits of the HPE Synergy 12000 / 480 Gen11 solution:

Composability & Unified Management

• Embedded intelligence via HPE OneView for resource discovery, configuration, and lifecycle management.
• Template-based provisioning to reduce manual errors and speed deployment.
• RESTful APIs and ecosystem integration for automation and orchestration.

High Performance & Scalability

• Support for 4th and 5th Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors — up to 56 cores (or even up to 64 cores in some configurations) across two sockets.
• DDR5 memory support (with up to 16 DIMMs) for high throughput and capacity per CPU.
• PCIe Gen5 support for improved I/O bandwidth.
• Flexible drive cage options (SAS, SATA, NVMe) including dual M.2 boot drives.
• Capable of supporting GPU or accelerator modules for workloads such as AI, analytics, or VDI.

Resource Pooling & Efficiency

• Pools of compute, storage, and fabric that can be dynamically allocated and reallocated.
• Redundant power supplies (Titanium-level efficiency) and fan modules to ensure high availability.
• High-capacity fans and airflow design optimized for Gen11 compute modules.
• Frame link modules for multi-frame scaling and air-gapped management.

Security & Reliability

• Silicon Root of Trust, secure boot, and memory encryption tied to processor-level security.
• Redundancy built in across power, cooling, and fabric subsystems.
• Hardware diagnostic support and comprehensive warranty.
• Support for Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for secure credential storage.

Future-Ready & Flexible

• Support for photonics-ready enhancements and higher fabric bandwidths.
• Field-upgradable options, enabling you to add or upgrade compute, interconnects, or storage as your needs evolve.
• Mixed-generation compatibility (e.g. Gen10, Gen11) in the same frame (with proper planning) for smoother migrations.
