Core Boosting technology uses a relaxed and optimized turbo profile that adapts the processor to specific use cases, configurations, and environments. Core Boosting processors take advantage of extra server power and thermal headroom provided by an innovative HPE voltage regulator design and by cooling technologies. Consequently, systems that have Core Boosting processors can alleviate common setbacks and maximize processor computing power.

However, Core Boosting option is only supported in ProLiant Gen10 servers with certain Intel processors1. The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 server data sheet2 lists the supported processors for Core Boosting as:

• Intel Xeon Gold 6148 Processor (20 core, 2.4 GHz, 27.5 MB L3 cache)
• Intel Xeon Gold 6154 Processor (18 core, 3.0 GHz, 24.75 MB L3 cache)
• Intel Xeon Gold 6152 Processor (22 core, 2.1 GHz, 30.25 MB L3 cache)
• Intel Xeon Platinum 8168 Processor (24 core, 2.7 GHz, 33 MB L3 cache)

Therefore, if your customer’s DL380 Gen10 servers are running workloads on more active cores at higher clock frequencies, they can benefit from Core Boosting technology if they have one of these supported Intel processors.

According to Simplilearn, big data storage is a new technology that allows you to store large amounts of data that exceed the capacity of typical database software tools1. Big data storage can handle various types of data, such as structured, unstructured, or semi-structured data, and provide fast and scalable access to it1.

According to the HPE website, HPE InfoSight supports automatic case creation for HPE ProLiant servers that are connected to HPE InfoSight through HPE Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) Amplifier Pack1. The ProLiant DL560 Gen10 is one of the supported servers that canbenefit from this feature1.

Kubernetes is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It groups containers that make up an application into logical units for easy management and discovery. Kubernetes supports cloud-native applications that are designed to run on distributed and dynamic environments.

Kubernetes also supports containers with persistent storage by providing various options such as:

• Persistent Volumes: These are abstracted storage resources that can be provisioned by administrators and consumed by users without worrying about the underlying storage implementation.
• Persistent Volume Claims: These are requests for storage by users that can be dynamically or statically bound to Persistent Volumes.
• Storage Classes: These are ways to describe different kinds of storage offered by a cluster, such as SSD or HDD, performance or capacity, etc.
• Volume Snapshots: These are point-in-time copies of Persistent Volumes that can be used for backup or restoration purposes.
• Container Storage Interface: This is a standard interface that allows Kubernetes to communicate with various storage vendors and plugins.

This is because single-mode fiber optic cable has a small core diameter that allows only one mode of light to propagate. This reduces signal attenuation and enables longer transmission distances than multimode fiber optic cable, which has a larger core diameter that allows multiple modes of light to propagate. Single-mode fiber optic cable cansupport distances up to 40 kilometers for Fibre Channel applications.

• RAID 1: any single drive
• RAID 1 ADM: any two drives
• RAID 5: any single drive
• RAID 6: any two drives

• RAID 1: This is a level of RAID that uses mirroring to create an exact copy of data on two or more disks. It can tolerate the failure of any single drive without losing data, as long as the other drive is still functional.
• RAID 1 ADM: This is a level of RAID that uses advanced data mirroring to create two copies of data on three disks. It can tolerate the failure of any two drives without losing data, as long as the third drive is still functional.
• RAID 5: This is a level of RAID that uses striping with parity to distribute data and parity information across three or more disks. It can tolerate the failure of any single drive without losing data, as long as the other drives can reconstruct the data from the parity information.
• RAID 6: This is a level of RAID that uses striping with double parity to distribute data and two sets of parity information across four or more disks. It can tolerate the failure of any two drives without losing data, as long as the other drives can reconstruct the data from the double parity information.
