 "HP expands Moonshot portfolio to new applications")
HP has announced new ProLiant Moonshot solutions, further expanding the portfolio of customised compute solutions. The announcement includes new Moonshot solutions for: application delivery with Citrix XenApp; video transcoding with Harmonic and Vantrix; Web infrastructure-in-a-box; and managed web hosting.
“A transformative approach to computing is required to enable breakthrough capabilities not possible using traditional servers and move the needle on workload optimization,” said Vikram K, director, Servers, HP India. “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.”

In combination with Citrix XenApp, HP is introducing a new HP Moonshot solution for application delivery. The solution enables organisations to increase productivity from any place, at any time, by simplifying the delivery of business applications to employees, regardless of their device. The solution consolidates application delivery into a single architecture.
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 datacentre and deliver it as a service to end users, from Microsoft Office applications to multimedia healthcare applications.
HP offers 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 percent reduction in costs per stream and a 95 percent reduction in floor space.
The company is also introducing a new end-to-end solution for web infrastructure in-a-box based on the HP Moonshot ProLiant m300 server. Companies can now stand up and manage their entire multi-tier web infrastructure within one HP Moonshot chassis or across multiple chassis. The web infrastructure in-a-box features a LAMP stack solution that includes an exclusive 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. 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 a new 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.
