Global integrated energy company will use latest supercomputer,
which doubles storage capacity and increases sustainability, to
accelerate discovery of new energy sources with advanced modeling
and simulation capabilities, while reducing operational costs and
energy consumption
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE: HPE) today announced the
upgrade of Eni’s existing supercomputer system, HPC4, to accelerate
discovery of new energy sources. The new supercomputer, delivered
as a service through the HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform, will
increase HPC4 performance, improve its computing capacity when
running simulations, and double storage capacity to improve
accuracy of image-intensive modeling and simulations of complex
energy research.
The HPE GreenLake platform, which combines simplicity and
agility with the governance, visibility and compliance of an
on-premises environment, will allow Eni to more easily monitor HPC4
utilization and energy consumption, helping to increase
sustainability.
Eni will house the new HPC4 in the Green Data Center in Ferrera
Erbognone, a province in Pavia, Italy. The new HPC4 is built on HPE
ProLiant DL385 Gen10 Plus servers.
“In the Age of Insight, harnessing data efficiently and quickly
will play a significant role in driving optimal business results,”
said Antonio Neri, president and CEO at HPE. “Our comprehensive
high-performance computing (HPC) solutions and HPE GreenLake
support Eni in achieving greater image accuracy of critical seismic
analysis and are key to unlocking outcomes in energy production. We
are thrilled to be part of Eni’s important mission to identify and
develop new energy sources.”
Doubling storage capacity to support an increasing,
image-intensive library of analysis
Eni’s HPC4 has doubled its storage capacity, compared to Eni’s
previous system, with 10 petabytes of storage, to support the
scaling and image-intensity of its analysis, which are key to
developing new energy sources. New expanded storage capabilities
from HPE include the Cray ClusterStor E1000 storage system and the
HPE Data Management Framework to support complex, image-intensive
workloads in modeling and simulation.
The new infrastructure will improve energy usage and reduce
electronic waste by using HPE Asset Upcycling Services. This is
part of the circular economy initiative from HPE Financial
Services, which leverages asset longevity to reuse products, by
recycling equipment from its existing HPC4 system and replacing it
with newer solutions.
“HPC plays an increasingly important role in fueling innovation,
which has a tremendous impact on economic growth for Italy. The
ability to process and extract value from data helps organizations
identify new opportunities to stay competitive,” said Stefano
Venturi, president and managing director at Hewlett Packard
Enterprise Italy. “We are honored to have been selected by Eni to
deploy powerful supercomputing technologies that will drive
innovation for the energy industry as well as digital
transformation for our nation.”
Eni’s new HPC4 is built with 1,500 nodes HPE ProLiant DL385
Gen10 Plus servers, which provide dense, flexible platforms with
the industry’s most trusted built-in security. The customized HPE
ProLiant servers also leverage latest compute with the 3rd Gen AMD
EPYC™ processors for modeling and simulation workloads, and
accelerated compute and targeted graphics capabilities for
image-intensive workloads using the AMD Instinct™ MI100 accelerator
and NVIDIA V100 and A100 Tensor Core GPUs.
The HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform provides customers with
a powerful foundation to drive digital transformation. The HPE
GreenLake platform can run on-premises, at the edge, or in a
colocation facility, and combines the simplicity and agility of the
cloud with the governance, compliance, and visibility that comes
with hybrid IT. HPE GreenLake offers a range of cloud services that
accelerate innovation, including cloud services for analytics, bare
metal, compute, container management, core payment systems, data
protection, electronic medical records, 5G, HCI, high performance
compute, machine learning operations, networking, risk management,
SAP HANA, storage, VDI, and VMs. The HPE GreenLake business is
rapidly growing with over $5.2 billion USD in total contract value
and 900 partners selling HPE GreenLake. Today, HPE GreenLake has
about 1,200 enterprise customers across 50 countries in all
industry sectors and sizes including Fortune 500 companies,
government and public sector organizations, and small and midmarket
enterprises. For more information on HPE GreenLake, please visit:
