Apollo 6000 Systems

Air-cooled, high-performance computing at rack scale delivers optimised density, improved power efficiency and lower cost of ownership.

Get the most out of your infrastructure – and your budget

Move up to high performance computing (HPC) with the scalable, flexible HPE Apollo 6000 System. It gives you a performance-optimised, air-cooled solution that’s within your space limitations and financial requirements. This rack-level solution provides simplified administration efficiencies and flexibility to match the solutions to the workload, to lower your total cost of ownership.

The world’s most secure industry standard server

Experience fast, secure, and resilient compute, using rack level efficiencies and high density. HPE Apollo 6000 Gen10 Server¹ delivers comprehensive server security with Silicon Root of Trust, run-time security validations, data security in the server, regulatory compliance and more.

Extreme compute performance

Leverage the 205W 28c 2.5GHz Intel® Xeon® Processor Scalable family, and optimised design for exceptional application performance with 100Gbps node to node connectivity. Future proof with persistent storage on memory bus and high speed fabric technologies, and lower latency and higher IOPs with NVMe storage.

Rack scale efficiency

Quickly deploy, service, and manage with cold isle front accessible nodes. Leverage improved reliability with integrated Ethernet, Omni Path Architecture, and EDR InfiniBand switches. Enhance your security with TPM, secure firmware updates, iLO5, and secure encryption.

Optimised for TCO

Reduce IT deployment time and support costs through innovative HPC design for fabric radix alignment. Rapidly install and deploy using consolidated iLO port. Minimise power consumption and reduce cooling costs using advanced thermal technology.
