HA NOI (VNS)— HP announced yesterday that its Moonshot system is now available.

The system aims to help data centres economise on infrastructure by using 89 per cent less energy and 80 per cent less space than traditional servers.

The second-generation server, which also costs 77 per cent less than traditional infrastructure, was engineered to address the IT challenges created by social networks, cloud computing, mobile systems and large amounts of data. These software-defined servers are built from chips commonly found in smartphones and tablets.--VNS
