HP Promises to Give Enterprises Speed with Moonshot

The company says it understands what is needed in the data center of the future and SMAC needs

HP has announced its Moonshot innovations that promise to give enterprises the speed, agility and lower economics to build next-generation data centers that will power tomorrow’s successful organizations.

Data centers are reaching an unsustainable point—in the next five years the average enterprise will see data capacities grow more than 800 per cent. Enterprises need to be able to manage this exponential growth in data while introducing new applications, such as big data and analytics, using delivery models such as virtualized infrastructure and the cloud. Yet, enterprise innovation is constrained by the complexities of outdated IT. Organizations must optimize and modernize to deliver a new style of IT that accelerates revenue generation, drives innovation and reduces business risk, while at the same time reducing overall costs.

HP says it understands what is needed in the data center of the future and is driving innovation that addresses IT challenges created by social, cloud, mobile and big data. Enhancements to the HP Moonshot system include:

  • ProLiant m300: offers a next generation server cartridge for front-end Web applications, dedicated hosting and light weight analytics workloads delivering significant performance gains, with 7 times greater performance and 6 times higher performance per watt.
  • ProLiant m800: is designed for applications that perform analysis or processing on streaming data, such as telecommunication and seismic processing.

The next-generation server cartridge offers cost-effective and efficient mobile processing—Accelerating the transmission of signals/data and easing the ransition from 3G to 4G. It also provides accelerated seismic processing—Keeping processing costs and energy use down for highly compute-intensive oil and gas industry processes.

With HP ConvergedSystem for Hosted Desktops, clients can deliver the business graphics and multimedia performance of a traditional desktop PC with 6 times faster graphics frames per second, compared to other virtual desktop infrastructure solutions.

“Organizations across the region are under enormous pressure to build an efficient infrastructure to grow, compete and be ready for what’s next,” said Vikram K, director, Servers, HP India. “It demonstrates HP’s continued commitment to transforming the server landscape with customer-inspired innovations to Moonshot servers that enable organizations to be faster, smarter and more efficient now and into the future.”
