HP Broadens Moonshot Portfolio With Intel-powered Models
HP today announced new HP ProLiant Moonshot solutions, the first powered by Intel processors, further expanding the portfolio of customized end-to-end compute solutions. In combination with Citrix XenApp, HP introducws a new HP Moonshot solution for application delivery. The new HP Moonshot ProLiant m710 server features the customized Intel Xeon E3-1284L v3 processor with built-in Inte Iris Pro Graphics P5200. With the integrated Graphics Processor Unit (GPU), HP Moonshot eliminates the need for discrete graphics processor cards.
HP also introduced a new end-to-end solution for web infrastructure in-a-box based on the HP Moonshot ProLiant m300 server. It features a LAMP stack solution that includes a Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscription model for HP Moonshot servers using Intel Atom processors to lower the total cost of ownership for an end-to-end Web solution.
Additionally, the web infrastructure in-a-box leverages solutions from Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu. Canonicals’ Juju, Charms and MAAS (Metal-as-a-Service) automate the provisioning of applications for scale out and cloud. Juju and Charms simplify the deployment of scale out workloads, including load-balancing, web serving and databases across dedicated groups of servers within the HP Moonshot chassis.
HP also is engaging hosted service providers with the highly-dense HP Moonshot ProLiant m350 server featuring Intel Atom C2730 processors. With 180 servers per 4.3U and eight cores per server, it is the densest CPU core count available in a HP Moonshot System for managed hosting.
The new HP Moonshot servers and related solutions are available now worldwide.
