Moonshot Systems

Are you looking for a highly scalable, configurable and versatile server?

The HPE Moonshot 1500 Chassis supports a range of server cartridges, and 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.

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 6-port HPE Moonshot–6SFP Uplink Modules. Paired with the HPE Moonshot–45G 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-6SFP Uplink Module features a low-power, low-latency design with six 10 GbE SFP+ ports. Each uplink module delivers 60 GbE of aggregate bandwidth to connect the HPE Moonshot system to an external network.

HPE ProLiant m710x Server Blade is redefining several of today’s most demanding workloads. Video Transcoding: Managing the exponential growth of video content is placing a massive strain on existing transcoding infrastructures. Moonshot can deliver more streams per rack unit, per watt and per dollar without the need for data center expansion. Application Delivery with Citrix XenApp: To meet the needs of an increasingly mobile workforce, employees must have access to applications from any location, on any device, at any time. This cost-efficient and flexible solution supports a broader range of applications to a broader set of users. NoSQL Apache Cassandra™ with DataStax Enterprise: Organizations are struggling to deliver real time business insight under dynamic and high volume workloads due to complexity and cost of legacy technologies. We enable a scalable distributed database designed to handle large amounts of data, effortlessly and predictably with exceptional performance.

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 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.

Does your end-user computing solution need to maximize Citrix end-user density while lowering the total cost of operations?

The HPE ProLiant m750 Server Blade is the compute engine for HPE Moonshot and delivers an unparalled combination of high performance, user density and security in an energy efficient server blade design.

The HPE ProLiant m750 Server Blade is the next generation of compute blades for HPE Moonshot - allowing customers to replace traditional, power-hungry, general purpose systems, with energy efficient Intel Xeon Systems-on-a-Chip (SOCs) tailored for end-user computing workloads like Citrix VDI on bare-metal systems.

The HPE ProLiant m750 Server Blade delivers high performance and more Citrix user density through its impressive design feature an Intel Xeon E-2286M cpu with 8 cores, 128GB high speed memory, and dual 10Gb Ethernet networking.

In addition HPE iLO5 provides robust security and management for the HPE ProLiant m750 Server Blade

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.

The Moonshot 1500 Chassis comes with up to two HPE Moonshot-45XGc 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 10 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 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.
