HPE Compute Edge Server e920t outperforms in ruggedized edge environments in Telco, Retail, and more.

The HPE Compute Edge Server e920t is a multi-workload powerhouse designed to drive your business into the next generation with workload support for virtualized radio access network (vRAN) for 5G, multi-access edge computing, virtual cable modem termination systems (vCMTS), or retail video analytics.

Leveraging the 3rd generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor family, HPE Compute Edge Server e920t s provide a high-performance system optimized for ruggedized environments.

The system is designed to exceed the rigorous NEBS Level 3 compliance standard and GR-3108 Class 1, while being optimized for size, weight, and power efficiency. High-performance options such as M.2 NVMe storage with secure encrypted drive functionality help enable an operating temperature range of 0°C to 55°C, and a highly performant compute solution.

HPE Compute Edge Server e920t improves Telco customer success right out of the box with a full feature stack.

Partnerships with key network equipment providers (NEPS) and support for operating systems such as Wind River have enabled HPE Compute Edge Server e920t to conquer harsh telco edge environments easily.

I/O options match market needs. Using a vRAN Dedicated Accelerator ACC100 with Intel’s eASIC technology, forward error correction (FEC) is easily accomplished on HPE Compute Edge Server e920t.

Bladed architecture makes upgrades and servicing a breeze. If you already have a previous generation blade, the blades are fully compatible with the HPE Edgeline EL8000t. By mixing blade designs and generations, you can easily run two applications side-by-side or upgrade an existing chassis system.

HPE Compute Edge Server e920t has enhanced manageability & security at the edge.

HPE Compute Edge Server e920t with HPE iLO 5 and Silicon Root of Trust mitigate risk in mission-critical edge environments. With 3 years of iLO Advanced included standard, the HPE Compute Edge Server e920t is readily managed right out of the box.

With reduced IT skillsets in an increasingly vast edge environment, HPE manageability systems improve the ability to configure, monitor, and update your system from any location.

By leveraging iLO 5 capability, managing your system with health monitoring and firmware management is easy. Blade provides a broad range of configuration choices in networking, storage, and I/O for optimizing your unique edge workloads. The Solid-State Drives are TCG Opal Compliant Self-Encrypting Drives (SED).

HPE Server UEFI ROM

Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) is an industry standard that provides better manageability and more secure configuration than the legacy ROM while interacting with your server at boot time. The HPE Compute Edge Server e920t default to UEFI and do not support Legacy BIOS Boot Mode.

Notes: The UEFI System Utilities function is analogous to the HPE ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) of legacy BIOS. For more information, please visit http://www.hpe.com/servers/uefi

UEFI enables numerous new capabilities specific to HPE ProLiant servers such as:

• – Secure Boot
• – Operating system-specific functionality
• – Support for > 2.2 TB (using GPT) boot drives
• – USB 3.0 Stack
• – Embedded UEFI Shell
• – Mass Configuration Deployment Tool using RESTful API for iLO 5
• – PXE boot support for IPv6 networks
• – Boot support for option cards that only support a UEFI option ROM
• – Network Stack configurations

Notes: For UEFI Boot Mode, the boot environment and OS image installations should be configured properly to support UEFI.

HPE Trusted Platform Module

HPE Trusted Platform Module 2.0 is embedded in the Server Blade and can be enabled and disabled using the BIOS.

Notes:

– The TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is a microcontroller chip that can securely store artifacts used to authenticate the server platform. These artifacts can include passwords, certificates, and encryption keys. Windows® BitLocker™ Drive Encryption (BitLocker) is a data protection feature available in Windows Server® 2008, 2012/2012 R2. BitLocker leverages the enhanced security capabilities of a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 2.0. The TPM works with BitLocker to help protect user data and to ensure that a server running Windows Server has not been tampered with while the system is offline. For more information about TPM, including a white paper, go to: https://www.hpe.com/h20195/v2/gethtml.aspx?docname=c04939549

– ProLiant OS pre-installed units will come with the partition required for TPM deployment.

– The TPM key is unique to every TPM deployed server and must be retained. Misplacing or losing the key could result in data loss.
