HPE Apollo 4000
Ultra-dense data storage servers for analytics, AI, and data lakes
Overview
HPE Apollo 4000 systems are purpose-built, ultra-dense storage servers for data-intensive workloads like analytics, AI/ML, and large data lakes. A balanced, symmetrical design moves data efficiently from ingest to transfer to persistence, while flexible configurations let you mix the right compute, network, and media for each use case. The Apollo 4200 Gen10 Plus packs high capacity into a data center-friendly 2U footprint, with support for SAS, SATA, and NVMe drives and optional NVIDIA GPU acceleration for AI at the edge. Built-in security with iLO and Silicon Root of Trust, plus full in-rack serviceability, keep operations simple and protected.
Why HPE Apollo 4000
Ultra-dense capacity
Fit large amounts of storage into a compact footprint, with up to 32 LFF or 60 SFF drives in 2U on the Apollo 4200 Gen10 Plus and up to 60 LFF in 4U on the 4510.
Built for data-centric workloads
A balanced architecture handles deep data lakes and archives as well as high-throughput, in-place analytics, AI/ML, and data-heavy hyperconverged setups.
GPU acceleration for AI
Support for NVIDIA A2 GPUs on the 4200 Gen10 Plus accelerates AI at the edge, delivering far better performance than CPU-only systems for inference.
Flexible media and configuration
Mix SAS, SATA, and NVMe drives, HDDs and SSDs, and tune compute, network, and media to fit each analytics use case.
Security built in
HPE iLO with Silicon Root of Trust, secure boot, and data encryption protect the system from firmware to data at rest.
Easy to deploy and service
Full in-rack, online serviceability for drive bays, fans, and power supplies simplifies maintenance for data center teams.
