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."

    Scientology is a slave cult, pure and simple. It has no place in a world of free and thinking beings.

    Nice way to sidestep the point.

    The Buddha asked us to use our minds and senses to discover truth. The Buddha: "Don't believe what I say because I say so; you must test it for yourself, before it can be true."

    L. Ron asked us to believe in funky space aliens a zillion years old. L. Ron: "Believe what I say. Because I say so. And don't listen to yourself."

    If both of these guys showed up at my doorstep today, I know which one I'd be more inclined to invite in for tea.

    There's also the inconvenient little fact that L. Ron stated explicitly and unambiguously that he was setting out to design the "perfect" cult, and did just exactly that. He even managed to take in J.W. Campbell (or maybe Campbell was in on it, I've never been able to decide).

    Then he laughed all the way to the bank.
