that can hold a mixture of storage or compute cartridges. A single tray supports up to 72 compute nodes in a single server tray, or 288 compute utilization problem if you can consolidate multiple workloads that are somewhat balanced, such as enterprise applications or infrastructure-as-a-service. - HP ProLiant SL270s | HP Project Moonshot and the Redstone Development Server Pla - Page 3
-with the right workload to provide optimal results. Therefore, Project Moonshot platforms will be able to use multiple types of processors to support different workloads. While the Redstone Development Server (our first Moonshot offering) uses Calxeda EnergyCore™ processors based on ARM® cores, the - HP ProLiant SL270s | HP Project Moonshot and the Redstone Development Server Pla - Page 4
HP Pathfinder Program We're inviting software, compute, storage, and networking providers to become partners to develop the applications and software needed for low-energy compute solutions. Partners will help publish observations such as best practices, create de facto industry standards, and - HP ProLiant SL270s | HP Project Moonshot and the Redstone Development Server Pla - Page 5
SD cards • Four direct-attached SATA 3 Gb/s ports per SoC Storage cartridges If your application needs local storage, the Redstone Development Server supports optional storage cartridges. A storage cartridge consists of either two SFF HDDs (Figure 4) or two SFF SSDs. Each SoC can connect to four - HP ProLiant SL270s | HP Project Moonshot and the Redstone Development Server Pla - Page 6
Figure 4: Each storage cartridge includes two SFF drives: either HDDs or SSD drives. Configuring the server trays You can optimize the server trays with a mix of compute or storage cartridges for the specific workloads you'll be running. For example, you can configure for maximum compute - HP ProLiant SL270s | HP Project Moonshot and the Redstone Development Server Pla - Page 7
, based on ARM 32-bit cores. The quad-core processor subsystem includes server-grade features such as an integrated ECC memory controller supporting DDR3 memory and a shared 4 MB L2 cache with ECC. The processor subsystem has the following characteristics: • Core frequency ranges of 1.1-1.4 GHz - HP ProLiant SL270s | HP Project Moonshot and the Redstone Development Server Pla - Page 8
, we're driving these advantages into the server market. The simpler instruction set and aggressive low-power designs of ARM implementations give ARM cores an workloads and application types are common in the cloud and service provider environments today. They can operate as massively parallel scale - HP ProLiant SL270s | HP Project Moonshot and the Redstone Development Server Pla - Page 9
for the space savings achieved in the Moonshot program. Application porting and re-compiling Many software applications are already available and supported on the ARM instruction set. Other serverspecific applications and system software must be recompiled and tuned for ARM. That's because the ARM - HP ProLiant SL270s | HP Project Moonshot and the Redstone Development Server Pla - Page 10
