Ling-Power Energy-efficient Intel HP to create a micro-server

The first and second generation Hewlett-Packard new "ultra-energy" (Ultra Energy-efficient) http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/9785.html > Server architecture will be based on the Intel Ling processor.

HP ProLiant moonshot Server is the first "software-defined server running on Internet scale" using HP's new "ultra-energy" (Ultra Energy-efficient) server architecture. HP initially planned to adopt a Calxeda processor based on ARM architecture, but now HP has announced that at least the first and second generation moonshot servers will be supported by the Intel? Avoton system chips, the latter will be built on the new Intel 22 Nano process technology and the new "Silvermont" microarchitecture.

The Avoton processor will integrate the Ethernet controller and further improve performance and energy efficiency per watt based on the S1200. The Avoton system chip is currently in the process of providing the user with samples for its assessment and is scheduled for release in the 3rd quarter of 2013.

In an article on Intel's blog, Raejeanne Skillen, director of cloud computing marketing at Intel Corporation's data Center and interconnected Systems division, elaborated on HP's decision to adopt the Intel Ling Processor:

"First of all, HP and Intel have long-standing partnerships, and we have launched a number of innovative products on the basis of Intel and HP cooperation platforms." Second, the Intel S1200 processor is the only 64-bit system chip (SoC) with data center-level features available in the industry, including comprehensive 64-bit software ecosystem support, ECC and Intel virtualization technologies, and all of which are integrated in a thermal design power dissipation (TDP) low up to 6W System chip. Third, the design of the system's chip-oriented, lightweight, web-scale workloads, including low-end dedicated hosting, simple content delivery and off-line batch analysis, Intel Ling S1200 is by virtue of these advantages to HP Moonshot Server target market ideal system chip solution choice. ”

At present HP ProLiant moonshot Server support 4.3U server chassis, each 47U rack can support up to 1,800 servers, and is the industry's first 6W power server. Moonshot's biggest selling point is its commitment to deliver "lower energy consumption, smaller footprint, lower cost," which, for this reason, claims a 89% reduction in energy consumption, a 80% reduction in space usage, a 77% decrease in cost, and a 97% reduction in complexity compared to traditional servers.

"The space, power and cost requirements of traditional technology are unsustainable for us, with the number of networked devices approaching 10 billion, and the projected exponential growth." HP Moonshot opens up the new IT paradigm, which will transform the economy of the infrastructure and lay the groundwork for the next 20 billion networked devices. ”
