HP chooses Apple Atom brand codename "Centerton" for preliminary growth server system
HP today declared that for step 2 of Venture Moonshot, the company's effort to develop extreme low-energy hosts, it has chosen to cause with server capsules featuring the Intel® Atom® brand codenamed "Centerton" for its preliminary growth system.
Project Moonshot, a multiyear system revealed last Nov, is developed to help clients considerably reduce server complexness, energy use and expenditures. Revolutionary the long run of low-energy processing for emerging web, reasoning and massive-scale environments, the system reinvents the conventional strategy to hyperscale processing. It harnesses workload-optimized, extreme low-energy "server cartridges" in a exclusive fencing that pools resources across a large number of hosts.
HP chose to cause with Centerton server capsules in its preliminary growth server system, codenamed Gemini, due to the processor's data-center-class functions, such as 64-bit assistance, hardware virtualization (VTx), error solving code (ECC) memory, lower energy specifications, improved efficiency and broad application environment. These functions, coupled with the revolutionary Gemini facilities, make the new Centerton-based hosts perfect for hyperscale workloads, where using many extreme low-energy hosts largely packed into a small impact can be much more efficient than fewer separate hosts.
Gemini enhancements convert the server industry
Gemini will introduce several enhancements primarily centered on its exclusive federated environment that is processor-neutral. Traditional hosts rely on dedicated elements, including management, networking, storage, cords and cooling fans in a single fencing. However, Gemini enclosures are able to assist a large number of hosts per rack that share these elements. This enables clients to pack a lot more estimate energy into a smaller impact, while considerably generating down complexness, energy use and expenditures.
The newly developed Gemini server system with Centerton server capsules provides an perfect solution for web serving, offline statistics and hosting. The system is expected to recognize similar energy, price and solidity advantages of the formerly declared Redstone growth platform.
"Customers utilizing hyperscale processing are looking to recognize radical area, price and energy advantages, and with Venture Moonshot we've introduced the breakthrough strategy required to achieve these advantages," said John Santeler, v. p. and gm, Hyperscale Business Unit, Industry-standard Servers and Software, HP. "Together with Intel's enhanced brand functions and cooperation, we're able to convert the server market by enabling clients to surpass the limits of what was formerly possible in hyperscale processing."
HP and Apple have a historical relationship in generating advancement. To further address customer specifications and variety of workloads, the two market leaders are working together on additional extreme low-energy Gemini server capsules depending on generations to come of the Apple Atom micro structure.
"For the last 3 years Apple has shown its commitment to constant advancement in the ultimate low-energy server effort, and our deep cooperation with HP enabled us to create a brand map developed to deliver exceptional efficiency and power-efficiency advantages," said Jason Waxman, gm, Impair Infrastructure at Apple Information Middle and Connected Systems Group, Apple Corporation. "The unprecedented value of the Apple Atom brand codenamed Centerton-with functions like 64-bit assistance, ECC and an established application x86 ecosystem-will provide clients the improved flexibility and drastically reduced price tag of ownership required to compete in the fast-growing hyperscale processing area."
HP has a robust growth map of Gemini server capsules incorporating processors from other distributors for use within the Gemini system. These capsules will incorporate functions required for an extended set of workloads and will provide a variety of solidity and efficiency adjustments.
Availability
The Gemini server system incorporating Centerton-based compute cartridges, which was demonstrated today at a press event in San Francisco, is in use in HP's Discovery lab in Houston and will soon be available for customer testing. It is expected to begin shipping in early production to customers by year's end.
