HPE Synergy 12000 Frame
Are your customers looking to upgrade their traditional blade server infrastructure? HPE Synergy offers significant performance, management, and deployment speed improvements by utilising software-defined intelligence to transform data centres into fluid pools of compute, storage, and network resources.
The HPE Synergy 12000 Frame is the hardware foundation for HPE’s composable infrastructure. It provides your customers with a flexible location in which compute, storage, network, and management can be combined. HPE Synergy Frame Link Modules make it easier than ever to connect multiple frames together in a cluster, drastically simplifying network connections.
Using the HPE Image Streamer and HPE Synergy Composer, IT professionals can automatically provision critical resources where they’re needed most and eliminate the need for workload specific environments.
Customisable architecture
With 12 open slots for compute and storage modules, your customers can build a custom hardware configuration that meets their specific needs.
HPE Synergy Composer
HPE Synergy Composer is a hardware management appliance powered by HPE OneView. It provides a single interface for assembling and reassembling flexible compute, storage, and fabric resources to support business‐critical applications and a variety of workloads, whether they are bare metal, virtualised, or containerised.

Composable pools of IT resources
Composable pools of compute, storage, and networking operate in a single structure, providing flexible resources that can be seamlessly configured, deployed, and leveraged where they’re needed most.

HPE Image Streamer
HPE Image Streamer works with HPE Synergy Composer to rapidly deploy and update composable infrastructure. It utilises ‘infrastructure as code’ to manage physical servers with flexibility –– just like virtual machines –– to reduce complexity, provide consistency across infrastructure, and save significant time and resources.

Efficient network management
Networking is an expensive data centre resource and poses a great deal of complexity to large businesses. By providing a fully converged environment – where compute, storage, and networking resources are combined and leveraged on the fly – HPE Synergy has the potential to help your customers reduce their networking footprint, lower costs, and simplify the management of networking resources.
HPE Synergy Composable Fabric
HPE Synergy networking solutions are based on composable fabric that virtualises network resources within a software layer. By using HPE OneView, your customers can gain a holistic view of their software-defined network, as well as the ability to configure network resources as required. This centralised mode of control provides enhanced bandwidth management, restoration capabilities, security, and intelligent, optimised policies that adapt to changing needs.
Composable fabric benefits large businesses by simplifying network connectivity across multiple frames, SANs, WANs, and multiple sites using disaggregation in a cost‐effective, highly available, and scalable architecture.
The disaggregated, rack‐scale design uses a master/satellite architecture to connect multiple frames and consolidate data centre network connections. Additionally, HPE Synergy networking solutions help reduce hardware and simplify management complexity through a state-of-the-art low footprint design.

Switch modules
Your customers with existing data centre environments using legacy switching and administration may want to integrate HPE Synergy. Switch modules –– ethernet switches that delivers control over networks from a command-line interface (CLI) –– provides fast switching capabilities and allows administrators to manage switching within the frame.
Like the HPE Virtual Connect modules, the HPE Synergy Switch Modules act as a master module and support the master/satellite frame architecture when combined with HPE Interconnect Link Modules.
