Jim Ganthier, HP Servers, at HP Discover Barcelona 2013 with John Furrier and Dave Vellante
Stationed in Barcelona for three days full of tech talk and geekery, John Furrier and Dave Vellante, theCUBE co-hosts, happily welcomed Jim Ganthier, VP of Global Marketing for HP Servers, getting him talking about HP industry standard products as well as about HP's services and solutions.
Furrier began by asking for an update on what's going on in the HP world right now regarding servers, big business, facts, figures, market share and data.
HP's simple mission
"There are a couple of things going on with us," started Ganthier. "When it comes to HP Servers, our mission in life is really simple: deliver the right compute for the right workload at the right economics every single time. "
theCUBE hosts prodded Ganthier to elaborate and explain "Why is everyone so in love with Moonshot?"
"Everybody normally does the next turn of the server; every 14-18 months they add more memory, more I/O, they'll issue the next silver box. Instead of offering a general purpose server, we decided to focus on a software-defined server. Instead of starting with the hardware and adding the software on top, we wanted to understand the software and the workload, and then design the perfect amount of compute, spindles, memory, I/O for it. When you do that, you get a dramatically different set of business results. HP Moonshot equals 89 percent less energy. One rack of moonshot equals eight, nine racks of standard servers. That means less footprint, less admin time, less updates," explained Ganthier.
In other words, the HP Moonshot system was designed to addresses the speed, scale and specialization required by IT in order to keep up with the converging trends on social media, Big Data, cloud and mobility. With an increasing demand for digital content delivered on (mobile) devices and the Internet of Things calling for specialized solutions, there was a growing need for a new style of computing with optimal performance and efficient scaling.
HP's Moonshot system represents "the world's first software-defined server platform" that delivers scale and efficiency by employing the right amount of memory, storage and compute to get the job done. This approach saves costs and energy and enables extreme scale-out without an increased management overhead.
