reference cluster platform running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on EnergyCore hardware at the Ubuntu Developer and Cloud Summit events in Oakland, California (http://armservers.com/2012/05/07/calxeda-demonstratesubuntu-12-04-lts-on-energycore-soc). Because of the different system, performance, and granularity tradeoffs, we expect that our customers will want to test and benchmark their applications on a Moonshot platform before moving to that platform for production. In some cases, they might want to port and tune their applications to get the benefits of the architecture. We are making available the HP Discovery Lab exactly for that purpose. Conclusion Project Moonshot and the Redstone Development Server address the needs of data centers deploying servers at massive scale, such as thousands of servers at a time. Project Moonshot server platforms will use extremely low-power ARM or x86 processors and will allow the sharing of power, cooling, network controllers, storage controllers, and system management among servers. Along with the platform development, we have developed the HP Discovery Lab and the Pathfinder Program for customers and partners to try out the platforms, port and tune their applications, run benchmarks, and develop software to take full advantage of low-power, hyperscale servers. The Redstone Development Server Platform is the first step in Project Moonshot. It will provide up to 288 servers in a single 4U chassis with an integrated high-bandwidth network fabric, storage controllers for optional local storage, and system management. It will be available to select customers in the second half of 2012. Following quickly behind the Redstone proof-of-concept server will be full production servers available to any customer. Redstone and other follow-on Moonshot platforms complement the existing HP ProLiant portfolio. Because Moonshot platforms target scale-out application workloads that require high I/O but low compute cycles, they will not replace the existing ProLiant BL, DL, ML, or SL lines.

Conclusion
Project Moonshot and the Redstone Development Server address the needs of data centers deploying
servers at massive scale, such as thousands of servers at a time.
Project Moonshot server platforms will use extremely low-power ARM or x86 processors and will allow the
sharing of power, cooling, network controllers, storage controllers, and system management among
servers. Along with the platform development, we have developed the HP Discovery Lab and the Pathfinder
Program for customers and partners to try out the platforms, port and tune their applications, run
benchmarks, and develop software to take full advantage of low-power, hyperscale servers.
The Redstone Development Server Platform is the first step in Project Moonshot. It will provide up to 288
servers in a single 4U chassis with an integrated high-bandwidth network fabric, storage controllers for
optional local storage, and system management. It will be available to select customers in the second half of
2012. Following quickly behind the Redstone proof-of-concept server will be full production servers
available to any customer. Redstone and other follow-on Moonshot platforms complement the existing HP
ProLiant portfolio. Because Moonshot platforms target scale-out application workloads that require high I/O
