Bangalore: HP announced a new industry program comprising a new server development platform, customer discovery lab and partner ecosystem to help customers significantly reduce complexity, energy use and costs.
HP's new program, dubbed Project Moonshot, combines with HP Converged Infrastructure technology to allow the sharing of resources including storage, networking, management, and power and cooling across thousands of servers. It paves the way to the future of low energy computing for emerging web, cloud and massive scale environments.
Project Moonshot is designed to fuel the advancement of low-energy server technology, while promoting industry collaboration to break new ground in "hyperscale" computing environments such as cloud services and on-demand computing.
Project Moonshot is based on experience gained through HP's leading low-energy innovations such as HP Data Center Smart Grid, which enables customers to double or triple their data center capacity, as well as the recently announced HP EcoPOD, the world's most efficient data center. The Project Moonshot infrastructure is an extension of the industry leading HP ProLiant brand of servers, which incorporates traditional x86 processors from Intel and AMD, and which has been the top server choice for 61 quarters.
Unlocking the potential of extreme low-energy servers Project Moonshot is a multiyear, multi-phased program that builds on HP's experience powering the world's largest cloud infrastructures and 10 years of extensive low-energy computing infrastructure research from HP Labs, the company's central research arm.
