Brand: HPE (Hewlett Packard Enterprise) · SKU: Retired · MPN: N/A (System Product) · Category: Components
The HPE Apollo 70 System is a density-optimized, 2U infrastructure that uses the HPE Apollo z70 chassis. It supports up to 4 HPE AR44z 1U Arm servers or up to 2 HPE AR64z 2U Arm independent, hot-plug servers. It is an Arm-based platform powered by the Marvell ThunderX2 processor, designed for large High-Performance Computing (HPC) cluster deployments, offering high density and scalability. The chassis supports up to two (2) 1600 W 80 Plus Titanium-certified power supplies for up to 96% power efficiency, HPE Thermal Logic technology, and comes standard with eight (8) single-rotor fans. A 42U rack can accommodate up to 20 HPE z70 series chassis, supporting up to 80 Arm-based servers per rack. Server nodes (AR44z/AR64z) feature high-speed Mellanox interconnect fabric options (100 Gb/s InfiniBand or Ethernet) for cluster communication.
