HP Launches Moonshot

Posted by Unknown on from the everyone's-doing-it dept.

New submitter linatux writes "HP has announced their 'Moonshot 1500 server' — up to 1,800 servers per 47U rack are supported. The tech certainly seems to be an advance on what is currently available — will it be enough to revive HP's server fleet?" From Phoronix: "Moonshot began with Calxeda-based ARM SoCs, but in the end HP settled for Intel Atom processors. Released today were HP's Moonshot system based on the Intel Atom S1200. Hewlett-Packard claims that their Moonshot System uses 89% less energy, 80% less space, 77% less cost, and 97% less complexity than traditional servers."

    Nazi is a proper noun and thus must be capitalized.

    And we all know that datacenter servers are used only for running the front-end of 3D games. Oh no, this product must be DOOMED!

    Alternatively, it could be also QUAKEd.
