The HPE Apollo systems are purpose-built and optimized for High-Performance Computing (HPC) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) workloads. This server family is engineered for extreme density, scalability, and superior performance-per-watt, addressing the specific demands of large-scale, parallel processing tasks common in scientific research, big data analytics, and deep learning. Features like direct liquid cooling options and high-density chassis designs are tailored to the unique power and cooling challenges of HPC environments, making it the primary choice for these applications within the HPE portfolio.

A. HPE ProLiant DL300 series: These are general-purpose rack servers designed for a wide range of enterprise workloads, not specifically optimized for the density and scale required by HPC.

C. HPE Synergy frames: This is a composable infrastructure platform designed for workload agility and hybrid cloud environments, not primarily for the specialized, scale-out nature of HPC.

D. HPE Edgeline systems: These are converged systems designed for data processing at the network edge, often in ruggedized form factors, which is a different use case than centralized HPC.
