HPE Apollo servers are Hewlett Packard Enterprise's high-density, high-performance compute line — built for HPC, GPU and AI workloads where you need maximum compute and accelerator density per rack. This guide covers the main HPE Apollo models available in India, their specs, ideal use cases, and indicative refurbished pricing.
What is the HPE Apollo range?
Apollo systems pack more compute, storage or GPUs into less rack space than standard ProLiant rack servers. They are the platform of choice for research clusters, simulation, deep-learning training and large-scale storage — the kind of workloads where density, cooling and price-per-FLOP matter most.
HPE Apollo models and what they are for
| Model | Focus | Highlights |
|---|---|---|
| Apollo 2000 (Gen10) | Density compute | Up to 4 ProLiant XL170r/XL190r nodes in 2U — great for scale-out compute and virtualization. |
| Apollo 4200 Gen10 | Big data / storage | Up to 28+ LFF drives in 2U — Hadoop, Ceph, object storage, data lakes. |
| Apollo 6000 | Rack-scale HPC | High node density for technical computing and research clusters. |
| Apollo 6500 Gen10 | GPU / AI training | Up to 8 double-wide GPUs (NVIDIA) per node — deep learning, AI training, simulation. |
Typical specifications
Apollo nodes are built on Intel Xeon Scalable processors (and AMD EPYC on newer platforms), with large DDR4 ECC memory capacity, NVMe/SAS storage, high-speed networking (10/25/100GbE, InfiniBand options) and, on the 6500, dense GPU support. Exact configuration depends on the node and generation — match the platform to whether your bottleneck is CPU, storage or GPU.
HPE Apollo use cases
- AI / ML training — Apollo 6500 with multiple NVIDIA GPUs for deep-learning. Pair with our GPU servers and AI infrastructure guidance.
- HPC & simulation — Apollo 2000/6000 for CFD, genomics, research clusters.
- Big data & storage — Apollo 4200 for Hadoop, Ceph and large object stores; complements SAN storage deployments.
Refurbished HPE Apollo pricing in India
Refurbished Apollo systems offer enterprise GPU/HPC capability at a fraction of new prices — ideal when you want to stand up a training or research cluster without a seven-figure budget.
| Platform | Indicative refurbished price* |
|---|---|
| Apollo 2000 / r-series compute node | From ₹1,20,000 |
| Apollo 4200 Gen10 (storage) | From ₹2,00,000 |
| Apollo 6500 Gen10 (GPU, ex-GPU) | From ₹4,50,000 |
*Indicative only — GPU-loaded configurations vary widely. Actual price depends on CPU, RAM, GPU count and stock; contact us for a current quote. See our refurbished server price index for broader ranges.
