HPE Edgeline EL4000 System

HPE Edgeline EL4000 System HPE Edgeline EL4000 is one of the industry's first "Converged Edge Systems" - integrating unprecedented levels of edge compute, precision data capture and control, data center class security, device and systems managements, as well as large and blazingly fast storage capability - all in one converged box. This rugged and compact system is designed to perform in harsher edge environments with higher shock, vibration and temperature levels. It is perfect for expanding your IoT infrastructure beyond traditional data center confines and can also help break cloud vendor lock-in to enable true edge computing.

HPE Edgeline Converged Edge Systems are also designed to greatly accelerate the speed at which IoT data can be acquired, analyzed and actioned upon. This enables your business to make real-time decisions that can add value to your operations and result in better business outcomes. This is achieved through three points of convergence in one box:

1. Unprecedented deep edge compute and high capacity storage based on open standards

Traditional data center or cloud solutions for IoT require data to be transferred from the edge - exposing them to potential issues of latency, bandwidth, cost, security, duplication, corruption and compliance. HPE Edgeline Converged Edge Systems can acquire data with precision, analyze it on an industry-standard x86 deep compute platform with GPU Accelerators, drive highperformance Human Machine Interface (HMI) displays for operators and initiate control actions from the edge itself, in real-time, removing transfer issues and resulting in faster insights for better business agility.

The HPE Edgeline EL4000 System runs unmodified enterprise-class analytics software such as HPE Vertica, and each server is engineered to deliver very high performance. For example, The HPE EL4000 can ingest, repair and load millions of Smart Meter datasets per second, with just nanoseconds of latency. That's the equivalent performance of a typical 2-processor rack server, yet the EL4000 is out at the edge!

The slim, 1U HPE Edgeline EL4000 Converged Edge System can be configured with a combination of one to four HPE ProLiant m510 (Intel® Xeon® D - 8 or 16 core) or HPE ProLiant m710x (Intel® Xeon® E3 - 4 core with workstation-class GPU) compute nodes. Solid State Drive (SSD) options in the M.2 form factor with different interface types (SATA or NVMe), can also be selected to help deliver the perfect balance between cost efficiency and extreme storage performance.

2. Unique integration of precision data acquisition, measurement and control systems based on open standards

The I/O capabilities of HPE Edgeline EL4000 Converged Edge System is built on open industry standards such as PCI Express and PXIe. Select models also include a wide variety of option I/O cards to support 10-40 Gb Ethernet, InfiniBand or Fiber Channel.

Precision data capture and control capabilities are achieved through open PXI standards, and when coupled with automated machine learning, they open up new horizons for equipment monitoring and management, predictive analytics to detect impending failures and augmented reality for manual-less servicing - key facets of Smart Factory initiatives such as Industry 4.0.

The HPE Edgeline EL4000 also supports I/O expansion using up to four PCIe cards (one per compute node) or up to four PXIe modules (one to four assignable to any compute node). A choice of two switched 10Gb (SFP+) or two pass-through 4x10Gb (QSFP+) network uplink ports is also available.
