Overview
HP ProLiant XL730f Gen9 Server
For ground-breaking research in science and engineering workloads such as climate modeling or manufacturing simulations, the
HP ProLiant XL730f Gen9 Server advances the science of supercomputing with up to 144 x 2P servers per HP Apollo f8000 Rack.
The ProLiant XL730f Gen9 Server in the HP Apollo 8000 System reaches new heights of performance density.
The ProLiant XL730f Gen9 Server has 2 x 2P nodes per tray with up to 144 servers per rack for more performance per rack. Each
node delivers performance density with Intel® Xeon® processors, provide the processing power needed to handle a variety of
demanding workloads. Supports up to 256Gb memory/node, with 1 x 120GB SSD. One high performance FDR InfiniBand port per
server and 1Gb NIC per server enhance connectivity and data availability.
The all new ProLiant XL730f Gen9 Server with HP ProActive Insight architecture delivers even greater levels of configurability for
Supercomputing environments that require the highest possible performance density and cooling efficiency, with an eye toward
energy recycling. Dry disconnect server trays provide liquid cooling via sealed copper tubes, with heat exchange via thermal bus
bars in the rack. Delivering on the promise of server lifecycle automation, the ProLiant XL730f Gen9 Server features the exclusive
HP Active Heath System and provides continuous, proactive, monitoring for over 1600 system parameters with zero impact to
application performance.
The HP Apollo 8000 System Solution is comprised of the following components:
One or more Apollo f8000 Racks with HP ProLiant XL730f Gen9 Servers, one or more HP Apollo 8000 iCDU Racks,
and their associated onboard CDU control system.
Primary plumbing interface assembly kit that connects the individual Apollo 8000 iCDUs Racks to the facility water
system.
Secondary plumbing system that connects the individual the Apollo f8000 Racks to the HP Apollo 8000 iCDU
Racks. This secondary closed loop system provides cooling for the Apollo f8000 Rack and isolates it from
untreated, potentially incompatible primary water.
High-speed (FDR) InfiniBand networking built into the Apollo f8000 Rack.
