Moonshot Systems

Do you need high-speed switching modules for your HPE Moonshot 1500 Chassis?

The HPE Moonshot 1500 Chassis comes with up to two HPE Moonshot 180XGc Switch Modules each, so traffic is better managed, and units can be stacked for better resiliency. Each node is connected directly to the Switch Module via a single lane of high-speed fabric interconnect.

These switches deliver high-density and low-power switching with Layer 2 and Layer 3 routing for ideal performance, delivered with the networking management features you expect and need. The Moonshot 180XGc Switch Module communicates with the external network through a Moonshot-4QSFP+ Uplink Module or Moonshot 16SFP+ Uplink Module to deliver higher I/O performance with reduced oversubscription.

The HPE ProLiant m510 Server Blade with the Intel® Xeon® D processors are here! Intel Xeon processors bring performance and advanced intelligence into a dense, lower-power system-on-a-chip. With enhanced reliability, availability, serviceability features, platform storage extensions, and built-in hardware virtualization, the Intel Xeon processor D product family D-1548 and D-1587 offer new options for optimizing a variety of workloads. The ProLiant m510 Server is helping Hewlett Packard Enterprise lead in the move from the data center to the edge and enabling a new wave of technologies that have not been possible before – things like machine learning at the edge, automated maintenance records and augmented maintenance support technologies. There is value to processing these data streams real-time, gaining insight and the ability to act upon that insight long before the data transmitted to and stored for batch analysis at a datacenter or cloud.

Do you require a high-performance Citrix Mobile Workspace in a dense form factor while utilizing minimal data center rack space? The HPE Moonshot System with the HPE ProLiant m700p Server Blades offers up to 30% increased performance over the HPE ProLiant m700 Server Blade, while maintaining the security and compliance of centralizing desktops, data, and applications in the data center. The HPE Moonshot system supports up to 45 HPE ProLiant m700p Server Blades per chassis while cost-effectively delivering 180 desktops for Citrix Xen Desktop® environments. With four AMD® Opteron™ X2170 APU (accelerated processing units) per server the m700p Server Blade delivers up to 16 cores on each blade with up to 720 processor cores/chassis along with fully-integrated graphics processing to enhance productivity.

Is switch traffic and cabling a nightmare for you? The Moonshot 1500 Chassis comes with up to two HPE Moonshot-180G Switch Modules each, so traffic is better managed, and units can be stacked for better resiliency. Each node is connected directly to the switch module via a single lane of high-speed fabric interconnect, providing a dedicated, low-latency 1 GbE bandwidth path to each node in the Moonshot System.

These switches deliver high-density and low-power switching with Layer 2 and Layer 3 routing for ideal performance, delivered with the networking management features you expect and need. The Moonshot-180G Switch Module communicates with the external network through a Moonshot-4QSFP+ Uplink Module to deliver higher I/O performance with reduced oversubscription. The Moonshot-180G Switch Module provides sFlow and standard SNMP MIBs support for detailed switch statistics and telemetry. Instrumented for Quality of Service, license keys are not required for manageability features.

Do you want the freedom to simplify deployment with low-latency uplink connectivity? When you deploy your HPE Moonshot 1500 Chassis, you have the ability to include up to two 16-port HPE Moonshot–16SFP+ Uplink Modules. Paired with the HPE Moonshot-180G Switch Module, you have a modular system that can dramatically simplify your data center.

By disaggregating the uplink module from the internal switch, you have greater flexibility to deploy your choice of external interconnect, and to future-proof your investment. The Moonshot-16SFP+ Uplink Module features a low-power, low-latency design with sixteen 10 GbE SFP+ ports. Each uplink module delivers 160 GbE of aggregate bandwidth to connect the HPE Moonshot system to an external network.

Are you looking for a highly scalable, configurable and versatile server? The HPE Moonshot 1500 Chassis supports a range of server cartridges, storage and networking options optimized for media processing, High Performance Computing, Digital Workspace, Telco and big data – giving you the possibility to anticipate your customers’ needs.

An intuitive, scalable, and easy-to-access tool to help IT administrators deploy and manage HPE Moonshot Systems, the HPE Moonshot Provisioning Manager distributed as a virtual machine image (VMware .ova file and Microsoft Hyper-v .vhd file compatible), provides the user with a simple graphical interface enabling an “at-a-glance” view of all the available nodes within one or more Moonshot Systems, allowing the ability to efficiently deploy operating systems to any available nodes.

In addition, the HPE Moonshot Provisioning Manager provides the user with a basic step-by-step network configuration guidance (note: this virtual machine image is a full network installation system, and will provide Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) services on the connected network. HPE highly encourages this virtual machine be installed and configured on a properly isolated network containing only the VM and the Moonshot Chassis).

The HPE Moonshot Remote Console Administrator (mRCA) allows users to have access to keyboard, video monitors and a mouse in a headless environment. It will enable users to remote console (on a node per node basis) for the initial golden OS image installation (Windows or Linux) assistance, virtual media functionality for mounting an image to boot, and in addition the mRCA can be used as debug/crash tool.

The remote console features of the HPE Moonshot Remote Console Administrator (mRCA) allows an administrator to interface with the HPE Moonshot Server Cartridge (at a node level) and one can share the local inputs from keyboard and mouse as well as video output.
