HPE launches 64 TB memory server for SAP and critical workloads

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE: HPE) announced the availability of its HPE Compute Scale-up Server 3250, designed for in-memory databases and business-critical applications. The server supports up to 64 TB of DDR5 memory and is powered by Intel Xeon 6 processors.

The system represents the first scale-up server validated by the SAP BW Edition HANA benchmark with at least 48 TB of memory, according to the company. The server scales from a minimum of four sockets up to 16 sockets to accommodate real-time analytics and high-velocity transactions.

"HPE Compute Scale-up Server 3250 raises the bar for business-critical infrastructure," said Krista Satterthwaite, senior vice president and general manager, Compute at HPE. "Designed for complex business applications like enterprise resource planning and customer relationship management systems, this system helps customers in ways competitive offerings cannot."

The server includes a dedicated external node controller that provides performance 100 times faster than Ethernet used in scale-out deployments, based on internal company metrics. The system features modular architecture suited for compute-intensive and artificial intelligence workloads.

Security features include HPE Integrated Lights Out (iLO) with silicon root of trust through a dedicated security processor and post-quantum cryptography capabilities. The server also incorporates memory error detection, correction, healing and deconfiguration functions.

HPE stated it was named a leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide SAP HANA Certified Servers Appliances 2026 Vendor Assessment. The new server succeeds the Intel-based HPE Scale-up Server 3200 and is certified for RISE with SAP applications.

The HPE Compute Scale-up Server 3250 is available now. Customers can acquire the system through HPE Financial Service's 90/9 Advantage program, which offers no payments for 90 days and nine additional months at one percent interest.
