About the HPE Cray EX4200

The HPE Cray EX4200 delivers enterprise-grade connectivity through its modular chassis-based architecture, which integrates HPE Slingshot 200Gbps high-speed fabric for low-latency interconnect across heterogeneous compute environments. This system supports dedicated accelerator blades for GPU workloads alongside AMD EPYC x86-64 processors, enabling organizations to build mixed-architecture clusters that scale from single-cabinet installations to multi-cabinet supercomputing configurations. Part number P28489-B21 represents HPE's latest advancement in High-Performance Computing server systems, engineered for TOP500-class HPC deployments that demand both performance and operational efficiency.

Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC) technology ensures thermal efficiency across intensive workloads, while high-efficiency redundant power distribution supports facility-level AC infrastructure without compromise. The HPE Cray EX4200 integrates HPE Cray System Management (CSM) with Redfish-compliant hardware state management and REST APIs, streamlining deployment and monitoring across distributed systems. IT infrastructure teams, AI research divisions, and HPC procurement specialists will find native compatibility with PBS Pro, Slurm, and HPE Cray workload management tools, paired with the HPE Cray Programming Environment supporting C, C++, Fortran, OpenMP, and MPI. Operating system flexibility includes Cray Operating System (COS) and SLES (SUSE Linux Enterprise Server), reducing vendor lock-in while maintaining stability in production environments.

Ideal Enterprise Applications

  • Large-scale computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and finite element analysis (FEA) simulations requiring heterogeneous CPU–GPU blade configurations
