"A transformative approach to computing is required to enable breakthrough capabilities not possible using traditional servers and move the needle on workload optimization. The unique architecture of HP Moonshot delivers extreme density and power efficiency. Customers can expand their offerings and prepare for the future, while significantly reducing the complexity of their infrastructure," said Vikram K, Director, Servers, HP India.
HP Moonshot is capturing the attention of innovative global companies like 20th Century Fox, which is using the system to migrate web workloads from the public cloud and for transferring large digital movie and television files, trailers and digital marketing content.
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 data center and deliver it as a service to end-users, from Microsoft Office applications to sophisticated multimedia healthcare applications.
The new HP Moonshot servers and related solutions are available now worldwide from HP and HP enterprise-authorized channel partners. Flexible investment solutions for HP Moonshot servers can provide customers and channel partners with quick access to the latest HP products through a simple, scalable and predictable monthly payment that aligns technology and financial requirements to business needs.
