A customer is planning a multi-threaded HPC solution that would benefit from threads running in parallel.
The architect selects the HPE Apollo 6000 and needs to choose between the HPE XL230a and the XL250a compute tray.
What is one reason for choosing the XL250a tray?

Correct Answer: B 🗳️
The HPE ProLiant XL250a Gen9 Server delivers 2P performance for your budget with dual accelerator support, while leveraging the HPE Apollo 6000 System and its modular flexibility and rack-scale efficiency. This server features the Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3/v4 series processors and 16 DIMM slots are ready with DDR4
2133 (1024 GB maximum)/2400 (2048 GB maximum) MHz memory and HPE SmartMemory.
