Description

On the right rear of the unit, we find the primary system I/O. This includes four 1GbE NICs, a VGA and DisplayPort (for management) and four USB 3.2 Gen1 ports. HPE ProLiant MicroServer Gen10 Plus Rear IO View

On the topic of CPUs, we are going to have benchmarks of the MicroServer with both the Pentium G5420 and the Intel Xeon E-2224 but we can say the CPU performance is several times that of the older MicroServer Gen10. This is a huge upgrade. HPE ProLiant MicroServer Gen10 And Plus Motherboards Side By Side Each SQL Server VM is configured with two vDisks: 100GB volume for boot and a 500GB volume for the database and log files. From a system resource perspective, we configured each VM with 16 vCPUs, 64GB of DRAM and leveraged the LSI Logic SAS SCSI controller. While our Sysbench workloads tested previously saturated the platform in both storage I/O and capacity, the SQL test looks for latency performance. The motherboard already has HPE’s iLO5 remote management controller chip onboard and to use it, you’ll need the aforementioned iLO enablement kit (part no. P13788-B21). It’s a great upgrade for the price as it fits in a dedicated bay above the PCI-E slot, provides its own network port and delivers many of the management features found in HPE’s high-end enterprise servers.

Reduce your impact on the Environment

The first thing you will notice is that the ProLiant MicroServer Gen10 Plus has a similar footprint but is half the size of the MicroServer Gen10. That should tell you that a lot has changed, and mostly for the better. HPE ProLiant MicroServer Gen10 Plus And Gen10 Front Hard drives are installed in a 2×2 matrix. 3.5″ drives utilize four pegs that are screwed into the standard hard drive mounting holes. HPE goes the extra step here and places these pegs in lines below drives so one can keep them safe and easily access them when needed. This is technically a tray-less but not tool-less design and is carried over from the original Gen10 latching mechanism. HPE ProLiant MicroServer Gen10 Plus Hard Drive In Bay Example. Copy 38Gb file from my Nas to local storage under 2k19, get full 1Gbps, start a hyper-v vm, it slows to a few kbps, even copying from USB on the Windows 2019 server, not VM, Mouse becomes jumpy and unresponsive. VDI FC Initial Login saw the MicroServer with sub-millisecond latency performance until about 41K IOPS and a peak of about 45K IOPS at 1.25ms before dropping off more. Our next local-storage application benchmark consists of a Percona MySQL OLTP database measured via SysBench. This test measures average TPS (Transactions Per Second), average latency, and average 99th percentile latency as well.

When it comes to benchmarking storage arrays, application testing is best, and synthetic testing comes in second place. While not a perfect representation of actual workloads, synthetic tests do help to baseline storage devices with a repeatability factor that makes it easy to do apples-to-apples comparison between competing solutions. These workloads offer a range of different testing profiles ranging from “four corners” tests, common database transfer size tests, as well as trace captures from different VDI environments. All of these tests leverage the common vdBench workload generator, with a scripting engine to automate and capture results over a large compute testing cluster. This allows us to repeat the same workloads across a wide range of storage devices, including flash arrays and individual storage devices. The HPE ProLiant MicroServer Gen10 Plus is small. It measures 4.68″ x 9.65″ x 9.65″ (11.89 x 24.5 x 24.5cm.) it is also one attractive box to have around especially if you have excellent lighting to make the HPE logo pop. One can see a power button as well as status activity lights. The two USB ports are USB 3.2 Gen2 ports with means they are capable of 10Gbps operation. HPE ProLiant MicroServer Gen10 Plus Front Accessed from the server’s boot menu, HPE’s Intelligent Provisioning feature makes light work of OS deployment. We selected this menu option during boot-up, chose our OS from its list, pointed it at the virtual ISO drive we’d mapped to the server and left it to load Windows Server 2019 in 30 minutes. HPE ProLiant MicroServer Gen10 Plus review: VerdictThe HPE ProLiant MicroServer Gen10 Plus v2 server measures 4.68 in (11.89 cm) and can be placed either horizontally or vertically to fit different customer workspaces.

In our VDBench Workload Analysis the HPE MicroServer was able to put up some impressive numbers considering just how small it is. Peak highlights include 194K IOPS for 4K read, 150K IOPS for 4K write, 1.9GB/s for 64K read, and 1.7GB/s for 64K write. The MicroServer stayed under 1ms in both our SQL and Oracle test with highlights being 197K IOPS SQL, 178K IOPS SQL 90-10, 149K IOPS SQL 80-20, 134K IOPS Oracle, 172K IOPS Oracle 90-10, and 152K IOPS Oracle 80-20. The MicroServer once again saw a sub-millisecond in LC Boot with a peak of 60K IOPS. So overall when looking at how much storage I/O one can drive through the onboard SATA controller, it should be able to keep up with whichever four SATA devices you can mount inside, peaking at just under 2GB/s sequential read. Installing the Hypervisor works fine. Tried ESXi 6.5,6.7 and 7 and used the HPE images. All installed to USB and then tried to SSD all install and run ok, but when setting up a VM, it becomes slow – 1.5hrs to install a windows 10 image, then the image is unuseable. With Oracle 80-20 the MicroServer hit a peak of 152,129 IOPS with a latency of 539µs before a slight drop. The MicroServer finished our SQL tests with sub-millisecond latency with a peak of 149,358 IOPS at a latency of 642.7µs in our SQL 80-20 before falling off a bit.The power supply is a 180W LiteOn unit which looks like it could power an enormous laptop. HPE ProLiant MicroServer Gen10 Plus LiteOn External Power Supply Another change is that on the Gen10 HPE used the AMD Opteron SoC with an integrated GPU wired to the two DisplayPorts output. These could be used for digital signage or similar applications. The VGA was a management output. With the Gen10 Plus, both the VGA and DisplayPort are destined for management duties.

Our energy supplier is working towards using 100% renewable electricity and is a Principal Partner of COP26 The PCIe slots are interesting. HPE has a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot with an open-ended connector. The PCIe x4 slot is also open-ended but is only an x1 electrical slot. The open-ended design lets one install larger cards, although not with full bandwidth. Here, if the PCIe 3.0 x1 slot was an x4 slot, it would have made the expansion capabilities truly tantalizing. As an x1 slot, it simply does not have the bandwidth for high-speed NICs, NVMe storage, or most other add-in cards. HPE ProLiant Microserver Gen10 PCIe Expansion SQL 90-10 had another performance never breaking 1ms and a peak of 177,945 IOPS at 679µs latency before dropping off some. For random 4K write, the MicroServer stayed under 1ms until about 150K IOPS which was roughly its peak at about 250µs latency before falling off in performance and latency jumping sharply. The rear of the unit has a power input, two more USB 3.0 ports, two USB 2.0 ports. Beyond this, there are three video outputs. The large blue one is a legacy VGA port and there are two DisplayPort headers. If you need to run digital signage, perhaps for office dashboards or menus, the AMD Opteron X3421 has a GPU to handle this. We wanted to note, there are lower-spec dual-core options, but we suggest that if you are reading STH, get the quad core X3421 model. HPE ProLiant Microserver Gen10 Rear

HPE’s smallest MicroServer yet delivers a surprising package for the price

Next up are our Oracle workloads: Oracle, Oracle 90-10, and Oracle 80-20. Starting with Oracle, the HPE MicroServer showed a good performance peaking at about 134K IOPS at roughly 650µs latency before a drop in performance. Tried installing the “supported” SmartArray card and it does work but it’s next to impossible to configure – BIOS doesn’t work just loops, offline SSA doesn’t work. Only way in the end was a Windows 10 to Go and run SSA on that. HP’s “support” were totally unfamiliar with the product too and quite unfamiliar with how things ought to work. We are going to focus more on this in our formal MicroServer Gen10 Plus review. MicroServer Gen10 Plus v Gen10 CPU Changes HPE has made many changes in the generational progression to the Gen10 Plus. Immediately obvious is the reduction in size, the Plus is roughly half the size of the predecessor. Much of this is related to moving the power supply (180W) outside the enclosure, which has a secondary benefit besides size. The reduction in heat within the server means HPE could also drop down to one fan from two fans in the prior chassis. This change has another cascading effect, with one fewer fans, the Gen10 Plus makes less overall noise which is important if we assume the myriad use cases for this server, will likely have it operating in populated areas, rather than an isolated server room. Last but clearly not least, the Gen10 Plus gets an option to add iLO, HPEs out of band server management software. This is a big deal for managing multiple units in geographically dispersed areas, a clear target HPE had in mind. When this option is enabled, HPE includes a dedicated card for Ethernet access and an iLO Essentials license. The license may be upgraded to iLO Advanced. The server also supports HPE InfoSight for Servers. you want to compare embeds like top routers Nighhawk, WRT32, ok, they eat just a bit less energy but 4 to 10x slower performance on all ciphers – cant serve more than 1 user
