“A transformative approach to computing is required to enable breakthrough capabilities not possible using traditional servers and move the needle on workload optimisation. 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.
In combination with Citrix XenApp, HP is introducing a new HP Moonshot solution for application delivery. The HP Moonshot solution for application delivery is based on the new HP Moonshot ProLiantm710 server, which features the customised 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 centre and deliver it as a service to end users, from Microsoft Office applications to sophisticated multi-media healthcare applications.
HP offers cost-effective video transcoding on the HP Moonshot m710 enabled by both Vantrix Media Platform and Harmonic VOS architecture. Broadcasting companies and MSOs can now support 20 times more transcoded video streams per rack using HP Moonshot servers, versus the industry average, with up to 80% reduction in costs per stream and a 95% reduction in floor space.
