What if you could deploy 100 Gb transceiver connections with an overall reduction of cost per bit? HPE 100Gb QSFP28 Transceivers are designed to meet the increasing demand of growing bandwidth in the data center. The 100 Gb performance allows a reduction of the port density and number of hardware components required to achieve this higher speed. With reduction of cost per bit, HPE 100Gb QSFP28 Transceivers can significantly reduce Capex and Opex spending on interconnect connections.

Features

Wouldn't you like to consolidate legacy hierarchical architectures based 50Gb architecture or do you need to increase data throughput and reduce latency with only a single hop within large domains of virtual machines or compute modules?

The HPE Synergy 50Gb Interconnect Link Module part of the HPE Synergy composable fabric extends satellite frame connectivity back to the master frame. Based on disaggregated, rack-scale design, it uses a master/satellite architecture to consolidate data center network connections, reduce hardware and scale network bandwidth across multiple HPE Synergy Frames.

The master module contains intelligent networking capabilities that extend connectivity to frames equipped with satellite modules. This reduces top of rack switch need and substantially decreases costs. The reduction in components simplifies fabric management at scale while consuming fewer ports at the data center aggregation layer.

What's new

• Expand bandwidth from your HPE Synergy VC SE 100Gb F32 module to up to five frames

• Use a single Interconnect Link Module for either 25 Gb or 50 Gb speeds

Features

Reduces the Need for Fixed Ratios of Interconnects and Substantially Reduces Cost and Complexity

The HPE Synergy 50Gb Interconnect Link Module part of the HPE Synergy composable fabric extends satellite frame connectivity back to the master frame. This connectivity is through zero latency cables and replaces fixed ratio of interconnects with flexible ratio of networking pool of resources.

Satellite frames inherit all the benefits of master module. Up to four additional satellite frames can be connected to the master module with one HPE Synergy 50Gb Interconnect Link Module.

Adding a satellite frame doesn't increase east/west traffic hop count between HPE Synergy Compute Modules connected to same master module. Up to 60 HPE Synergy Compute Modules with one-hop can be supported with master module.

Adding frames with HPE Synergy 50Gb Interconnect Link Modules doesn't consume ports on the aggregation switch.

Do your datacenter systems provide continuous uptime with security - while allowing for future growth?

HPE Synergy Frame Link Modules provide basic management functions for HPE Synergy Frames like auto-discovery of resources and health-status monitoring to keep your systems up and running. Security is enhanced by separating the data network from the management network and by a variety of capabilities like Hardware Root of Trust, Secure Start, and TPM file encryption. HPE Synergy Frame Link Modules also link multiple frames together into a management ring to scale your single management environment for future growth (up to 21 frames).

What's new

• Hardware Root of Trust prevents tampering by detecting and validating that the correct firmware is in use on the HPE 4-port Frame Link Module.

• Secure Start maintains secure firmware updates and attack resilience by validating any new firmware on the HPE 4-port Frame Link Module from the previous firmware before switching the boot path.

• File Encryption uses the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) on the HPE 4-port Frame Link Module for robust device security using validated encryption keys.

• HPE 4-port Frame Link Modules provide flexibility for long-distance connections (up to tens of kilometers) to scattered frames and to remote subnets of a data center.
