HPE Synergy Expansion Module

HPE Synergy 20Gb Interconnect Link Module

The HPE Synergy 20Gb Interconnect Link Module, satellite module, is designed for Composable Infrastructure. Based on disaggregated, rack-scale design, it uses a primary/satellite architecture to consolidate data center network connections, reduce hardware and scale network bandwidth across multiple HPE Synergy Frames. This module extends HPE composable fabric up to two additional satellite frames with 20Gb connectivity to Synergy Compute Modules and replaces fixed ratio of interconnects in each frame by extending the fluid pool of network resources.

The primary module contains intelligent networking capabilities that extend connectivity to frames equipped with satellite modules. This reduces the need for top of rack switches and substantially decreases cost. The reduction in components simplifies fabric management at scale while consuming fewer ports at the data center aggregation layer.
