Ready to learn more about HPE Synergy?

HPE Synergy Gen10 compute models are powered by Intel processors® supporting up to 6TB of memory. HPE Synergy supports both two-socket and four-socket compute modules providing the performance, scalability, density optimization, storage simplicity, and configuration flexibility to power a variety of workloads, including business processing, IT infrastructure, web infrastructure, collaborative, and high-performance computing.

First select the "Existing Server" and enter its quantity, then select an HPE Synergy "Proposed Compute". At this time, an estimated quantity of HPE Synergy compute is automatically provided for you.*

NOTE: After entering or modifying the server quantities, you must click someplace on the screen for the value to be accepted.

*The proposed HPE Synergy compute quantity is determined using Gartner® IDEAS Competitive Profiles processor performance data. This quantity is a general guideline and may be manually adjusted.

The following is a list of the major total cost of ownership (TCO) components and key assumptions used in the analysis:

Hardware and Software Acquisition TCO

Pricing per Gartner IDEAS Competitive Profiles at list in US dollars less the following discounts: 45% HPE hardware and software, 60% Cisco hardware and software, 48% HPE hardware support, 35% Cisco hardware support, and 30% HPE and Cisco software support. Hardware and software discounts per Gartner, support discounts per HPE research.
Existing HPE and Cisco hardware and software on that hardware previously purchased and thus considered sunk (i.e. no additional HPE and Cisco hardware and software acquisition purchases required).
All existing software licenses transferable to Synergy HPE Synergy with any remaining licenses (per the server consolidation) not used or otherwise transferred to existing servers or new datacenter growth (i.e. no new HPE Synergy software license purchases required).
Existing HPE and Cisco hardware and software support contracts on that hardware previously purchased and thus considered sunk, at the end of their contract term, and/or may be cancelled (i.e. no HPE and Cisco ongoing contractual support costs exist).
See below for the specific HPE and Cisco hardware and software configurations.

Facilities TCO

Power and cooling per 8,736 system operating hours/year, $0.10 power cost per kilowatt (kWh), 1.7 average power usage effectiveness (PUE), and component power consumption per HPE Power Advisor.
Carbon footprint per 8,736 system operating hours/year, 0.59 kg average CO2 emissions per kWh of electrical power, and $10 carbon emissions offset cost per metric ton.

Datacenter Infrastructure TCO

Datacenter power infrastructure per tier II datacenter, $12.50 power infrastructure cost per watt, 15 year infrastructure useful life, and a 7% interest rate.
Datacenter space infrastructure per 28 square feet per rack and $300 cost per square foot.

Indirect TCO

System downtime per employee productivity loss, 2.5 employees supported per existing server processor core, $62,000 annual salary per business user, 32% burden rate per employee, and 2,080 employee hours worked per year.
HPE Synergy Composable Infrastructure system deployment and management operational expense (OpEx) savings not considered at this point.
