Hewlett Packard Enterprise has launched a new server designed to carry out high-speed analytics on large volumes of data. The HPE Superdome Flex can scale up to 48TB of memory, and is suited to carrying out rapid in-memory analytics.

The system provides a shared pool of memory over an ultra-fast fabric that's capable of scaling from 768GB to 48TB in a single system.

The 5U rack server's modular design allows firms to expand the system from 4 to 32 CPU sockets, depending on their processing needs, with support for an up to a 3.6GHz, 8th-gen Intel Xeon processor. Each chassis also has 2 x 10 GbE ports and 2 x 1 GbE ports.

According to HPE, the Superdome Flex offers reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS) capabilities not present in other standard x86 platforms to provide 99.999% single-system availability.

The HPE Superdome Flex is now available.
