In combination with Citrix XenApp, HP is introducing a new HP Moonshot solution for application delivery. The solution enables organizations to:

Increase productivity from any place, at any time, by simplifying the delivery of business applications to employees, regardless of their device,Reduce the cost and complexity of managing applications in the data center by consolidating application delivery into a single architecture, Achieve lower total cost of ownership (TCO) with fewer components to manage, less floor space, and reduced power consumption.

The HP Moonshot solution for application delivery is based on the new HP Moonshot ProLiant m710 server, which features the customized Intel® Xeon® E3-1284L v3 processor with built-in Intel® Iris Pro Graphics P5200. With the integrated Graphics Processor Unit (GPU), HP Moonshot eliminates the need for discrete graphics processor cards and allows customers to host any application in the datacenter and deliver it as a service to end users, from Microsoft Office applications to sophisticated multi-media healthcare applications.

“Trends like mobility and graphic-intensive media use are challenging IT organizations to balance performance demands from users with the costs of increasing their compute infrastructure,” said Rakesh Narasimhan, Group Vice President and General Manager, Desktop and App Virtualization, Citrix. “HP Moonshot strikes that balance, combining new power, management and networking efficiencies while providing a powerful Citrix XenApp application experience. It’s a tremendous value for businesses deploying mobile workspaces.”
