HP announces HP Moonshot innovations

Data centers are reaching an unsustainable point—in the next five years the average enterprise will see data capacities grow more than 800 percent.

Enterprises need to be able to manage this exponential growth in data while introducing new applications, such as big data and analytics, using delivery models such as virtualized infrastructure and the cloud.

Yet, enterprise innovation is constrained by the complexities of outdated IT.

Organizations must optimize and modernize to deliver a New Style of IT that accelerates revenue generation, drives innovation and reduces business risk, while at the same time reducing overall costs.

HP understands what is needed in the data centre of the future and is driving innovation that addresses IT challenges created by social, cloud, mobile and big data.

Enhancements to the HP Moonshot system include  HP Moonshot ProLiant m300, HP Moonshot ProLiant m800, cost-effective and efficient mobile processing as well as accelerated seismic processing.
