HP and Intel have collaborated on the Moonshot project for many years, dedicated to lightweight web http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/13999.html "> workloads (e.g., static web and dedicated hosting) 's density, energy efficiency and total cost of ownership (TCO) optimized to new levels. Recently, Hewlett-Packard announced the first generation of HP moonshot system, I am pleased to see the first, but also currently the only HP ProLiant moonshot server products are based on the Intel Ling S1200 processor family build.
HP has multiple reasons to choose the Intel Ling processor to gain market lead. First, HP and Intel have a long term relationship and have delivered many technology and product innovations to the market based on the Intel HP cooperation platform. Second, the Intel S1200 processor is the only key data center-level feature in the industry today (such as a comprehensive 64-bit software ecosystem support, ECC and Intel Virtualization Technology) 's 64-bit system chip (SoC), and it's all integrated in a power low up to 6 watts (thermal design power dissipation, TDP) System chip. This means that today's ProLiant moonshot server, with the S1200 processor, can embed existing Intel architecture environments and software applications, seamlessly running without porting-while satisfying the user's expected low power consumption while satisfying the user's software load requirements. Third, this system chip design target-oriented, lightweight, web-scale workloads, including low-end dedicated hosting, simple content delivery and off-line batch analysis, Intel Ling S1200 Processor is by virtue of these advantages, the HP moonshot The choice of the ideal system chip solution for the server target market.
The moonshot server with the Intel S1200 processor has started shipping to customers and receiving praise from customers. As these implementations become more pervasive, we want to share more feedback from our customers. We also expect to see the moonshot system take advantage of a new generation of higher-density HP ProLiant moonshot servers that will use the Intel next-generation oscillation system chip, code-named "Avoton", to be launched later this year. Avoton will be based on Intel's leading 22 NM process technology and adopt a new micro-architecture code-named "Silvermont". By consolidating new capabilities, new Microarchitecture, and leading manufacturing technology, it will support integrated Ethernet controllers and will further enhance performance and energy efficiency per watt on the basis of the Intel S1200 processor. Avoton is currently in the process of providing samples to customers for evaluation, and its first system is expected to be launched in the second half of 2013. Compared with the current system using the Intel Ling S1200, the Avoton moonshot server can increase the density by four times times (4 Avoton system chips per server).
Want to take a look at these two energy-efficient system chips? This is. My right hand is Avoton, and the left hand is the Intel Ling S1200.
2013, we will witness the good performance of Intel and HP moonshot. Not only have we successfully collaborated on the launch of the first moonshot system, but we will also launch Avoton to help HP Moonshot customers continue to improve energy efficiency and per watt performance, significantly reducing total cost of ownership (TCO) for handling lightweight web-scale workloads.
