Note: Project Moonshot introduces Gemini servers with the Intel Centerton processor, but it will be a while before enterprises see benefits.
Hewlett-Packard announced Tuesday its next phase for Project Moonshot, opting to lead with server cartridges featuring the Intel Atom Processor code-named "Centerton" for its initial production, but it will be a while before enterprises will be able to take advantage of the extreme low-energy servers, dubbed "Gemini."
Launched last November, Project Moonshot is designed to help customers significantly reduce server complexity, energy use and cost by reinventing the traditional approach to hyperscale computing. It leverages workload-optimized, extreme low-energy "server cartridges" in a unique enclosure that pools resources across thousands of servers.
Project Moonshot is a product of HP Labs, where researchers started looking for ways to leverage the features of CPUs found in notebooks and mobile devices for low-power servers, said Paul...
