New HPE NS5 X5 and NS9 X5 platforms offer double memory, higher throughput, and built-in fault-tolerance for industries like banking, manufacturing, and transportation
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has expanded its line of fault-tolerant computing platforms with the launch of HPE Nonstop Compute NS5 X5 and NS9 X5. Designed for enterprises that rely on continuous availability, such as banks, manufacturers, and transport networks, the new platforms feature Intel Xeon processors, double the memory capacity, and 2.5X the networking bandwidth compared to previous generations.
Available starting June 2, both systems are part of HPE’s trusted Nonstop architecture, offering 99.999% or even 99.9999% uptime, as recognized by IDC. The entry-level NS5 X5 is built on Intel’s Bronze 3400 series, while the flagship NS9 X5 leverages Intel’s Gold 6400 processors.
“With the NS5 X5 and NS9 X5, we’re delivering fault-tolerant performance to power the world’s most mission-critical workloads.” — Casey Taylor, GM, HPE NonStop
Key highlights include:
- Up to 8TB memory for high-performance processing
- Enhanced fiber channel and 25 GbE networking
- Support for multi-factor authentication to meet global compliance standards
- Clustering compatibility with previous Nonstop generations, enabling non-disruptive upgrades
These platforms are tailored for high-volume operations like payment processing, fraud detection, and smart manufacturing execution systems (MES). HPE also offers the solutions through HPE GreenLake, providing an as-a-service model for easier adoption.
“One of our auto manufacturing clients has relied on HPE Nonstop for 35+ years with zero unplanned downtime,” said Casey Taylor, GM, HPE Nonstop.
