Do your datacenter systems provide continuous uptime with security - while allowing for future growth?

HPE Synergy Frame Link Modules provide basic management functions for HPE Synergy Frames like auto-discovery of resources and health-status monitoring to keep your systems up and running. Security is enhanced by separating the data network from the management network and by a variety of capabilities like Hardware Root of Trust, Secure Start, and TPM file encryption. HPE Synergy Frame Link Modules also link multiple frames together into a management ring to scale your single management environment for future growth (up to 21 frames).

What's new

• Hardware Root of Trust prevents tampering by detecting and validating that the correct firmware is in use on the HPE 4-port Frame Link Module.

• Secure Start maintains secure firmware updates and attack resilience by validating any new firmware on the HPE 4-port Frame Link Module from the previous firmware before switching the boot path.

• File Encryption uses the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) on the HPE 4-port Frame Link Module for robust device security using validated encryption keys.

• HPE 4-port Frame Link Modules provide flexibility for long-distance connections (up to tens of kilometers) to scattered frames and to remote subnets of a data center.

Features

Control and Manage your Synergy Frames for Continuous Uptime

Collects asset and inventory information of all components installed in a HPE Synergy Frame.

Auto-discovers all resources in all linked HPE Synergy Frames, and reports this information into HPE OneView in order to automatically bring these resources under monitoring.

Controls and monitors the thermal and power infrastructure resources in an HPE Synergy Frame.

Reports the health status for each component installed in a HPE Synergy Frame.

Hosts the HPE Synergy Console user interface.

Extend your Connectivity within a Single Management Domain

Management network connections, which are separate from the data network, operate at 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps for dedicated management control.

HPE Synergy Frame Link Modules link multiple frames together at 10 Gbps into a management ring within a single management domain.

Frame link modules allow you to easily grow your environment from a single frame up to 21 frames within the same management domain.

HPE Synergy 4-port Frame Link Modules provide flexibility for long-distance connections (up to tens of kilometers) to scattered frames and to remote subnets of a datacenter.

Maintain the Security of your HPE Synergy Frames

HPE Synergy Frame Link Modules separate the data network from the management network to resist Denial of Service (DoS) attacks.

Hardware Root of Trust in HPE Synergy 4-port Frame Link Modules prevent tampering by detecting and validating that the correct firmware is in use.

Secure Start maintains secure firmware updates and attack resilience by validating any new firmware on the HPE 4-port Frame Link Module from the previous firmware before switching the boot path.

File Encryption uses the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) in the HPE Synergy 4-port Frame Link Module for robust device security using validated encryption keys.

HPE Synergy Frame Link Modules also provide other security capabilities like secure protocols and algorithms (CNSA Suite B, FIPS 140-2 Level 1, PCI-DSS compliance, GDPR), audit logs, authenticated updates, certificate management, scope based access control, and secure erase of user data.
