HPE extends its HPE Apollo 4000 portfolio by introducing the Apollo 4200 Gen10 Plus intelligent data storage server, best suited for AI and analytics-focused customers.
The company spotted the enhanced customer’s need for scalability, performance, and intelligent infrastructure to support emerging data-centric workloads.
HPE originally architected the HPE Apollo 4000 series to unlock the business value of data, realized through digital transformation and data infrastructure modernization, at any scale, with ideal economics. Due to this, it accommodates both ends of the data-centric workload spectrum.
HPE wrote on its site:
The HPE Apollo 4000 is built to accommodate both ends of the data-centric workload spectrum: from deeper data lakes and archives to performance-demanding analytics and AI/ML, data-heavy hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI), and cache-intensive workloads. The HPE Apollo 4200 Gen10 Plus data storage server is taking the Apollo 4000 family to new heights, with expanded capabilities and performance to augment the current portfolio.
The HPE Apollo 4200 Gen10 Plus will further upgrade the original version’s capabilities. Still, it will not substitute this product, but both will coexist within the portfolio and market.
Organizations can’t keep pace with rapid growth in data, and resulting data silos make it hard to apply analytics. The #HPEApollo 4200 #Gen10 Plus intelligent #datastorage server is an ideal solution for addressing data growth challenges @Matt_Miller22 https://t.co/fdTZlqvGqY

The HPE Apollo 4200 Gen10 Plus data storage server extends data capacity, throughput, and processing in balanced, symmetric system architecture. Therefore, it allows enterprises to accomplish more with data-centric workloads and digital transformation initiatives.
The 4200 Gen 10 Plus provides for two updated Gen-3 Xeons, whereas the original features Gen-2 Xeons. Apart from the more powerful CPUs, the newer version also provides 50% more memory, satisfying data-heavy hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) environments.
Furthermore, the 4200 version provides two more SFF drive bays, two more NVMe SSDs, and larger LFF drives than the 4000 model.
The higher data storage capacity and density in a serviceable 2U form factor make the Apollo 4200 Gen10 Plus ideal for deeper data lakes and more extensive archive or backup repositories.
The Plus model also comes with built-in security, including validated protection for data through Secure Encryption and hassle-free system protection through HPE iLO5.
Customers also benefit from HPE InfoSight’s AI-driven intelligence, predicting and preventing infrastructure issues, even before impacting the business.
HPE GreenLake’s cloud experience leverages pay-per-use, consumption-based purchasing, and offloaded infrastructure management. In turn, it frees up users’ resources.
Currently, the Plus model doesn’t support GPUs and FPGA accelerators. Still, the company plans this improvement for the future to unlock data insights faster.
