Key Features

Meet Evolving Business Demands with Optimum Flexibility

HPE Superdome Flex 280 server utilizes a modular 5U 2- or 4-socket building block. It scales cost-efficiently from two to eight sockets to meet future growth.

Leverage a choice of either economical Gold or high-end Platinum 3rd generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors to deliver 16 to 224 powerful compute cores in a single system.

As-a-service option with HPE GreenLake provides consumption flexibility while maintaining on-premises control.

Simplify management with a comprehensive framework that includes HPE OneView management, OpenStack, Redfish APIs, and an easy-to-use management GUI.

Address the Most Demanding Workloads with Increased Performance

HPE Superdome Flex 280 server modular architecture features six UPI links per processor and delivers higher bandwidth and faster data rates than prior generations.¹

Designed to provide 64 GB to 24 TB of shared memory using DRAM only or in combination with Intel Optane Persistent Memory 200 Series for HPE, HPE Superdome Flex 280 server is ideal for in-memory analytics.

Address large data volumes and network connectivity with a balanced I/O system supporting up to 32 PCIe 3.0 cards with choice of 16-slot (all low profile) or 12-slot (FH/FW). The server supports up to 20 SAS/SATA/NVMe drives with RAID and hardware encryption, plus an optional DVD.

Safeguard Critical Workloads with Extreme Reliability and Superior Security

The HPE Superdome Flex 280 server features a comprehensive set of RAS capabilities to deliver the highest service levels for mission critical applications.

Contain errors at the firmware level, including memory errors, before any interruption can occur at the operating system layer with the HPE firmware-first approach.

Reduce human error with the proven fault-handling analysis engine, which predicts hardware faults and initiates self-repair without operator assistance.

Reduce exposure to threats and protects against firmware attacks and malware with superior security capabilities, including Silicon Root of Trust.

Deliver business continuity for Linux® workloads with HPE Serviceguard for Linux (SGLX) high-availability and disaster recovery clustering solution. It protects from a multitude of infrastructure and application faults across physical or virtual environments over any distance.

¹The 3rd-generation Intel Xeon Scalable processor architecture has six UPI links, twice than the 2nd generation Intel Xeon Scalable processor architecture. Maximum data rate is 3200 MT/s @ 1 DPC, 9% higher than with 2nd generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors.
