Presentation Notes

The HP Moonshot 1500 management fabric is a device neutral, low cost, consolidated node management solution. Leveraging the successful iLO management interface, the chassis manager builds a fabric of satellite controllers on the modules and redundant iLO’s on the chassis manager. The device neutral design allows a common interface to ARM SoC cartridges, x86 cartridges, storage cartridges, etc. As new types of cartridges are invented the device neutral architecture can enable the inclusion of that cartridge in the management fabric.

Putting Moonshot into ProductionStep 1 : Caching – Reverse Proxy (www.hp.com)• Use HAProxy and Varnish to handle end-user requests• Deploy at single data center site (Houston) and gather metrics

Step 2 : Add website Content and Downloads (ftp.hp.com)• Use HAProxy and Varnish to handle end-user requests• Serve content via Apache, VSFTP, and Cherokee from the chassis• Large file system via Gluster

Step 3 : Replicate across all six data centers• Roll-out Caching, Content and Downloads in all HP-IT data centers

Step 4 : Retire 40 of 46 Legacy servers• Reduce energy by 89%• Leave one as backup at each site

Presentation Notes

Revolutionary new server Delivering software defined servers with application-optimized solutions for web scale From ten’s of servers per rack sharing nothing to thousands per rack sharing everything� Designed for at-scale applications Using ultra low-energy servers To reduce cost, power, space 89 percent less energy, 94 percent less space and 63 percent less cost than traditional industry standard servers.


Delivering hosted desktops to workers on any device, anywhere, at any timeChallenge:• Increasingly costly and complex desktop

environments, caused by the skyrocketing number of mobile devices

Current Environment: • Use of Citrix XenDesktop Provisioning Services

• >200 remote desktops

• Security requirements for data access

• Clients requiring predictable performance

Opportunity:• Enterprise, Service Provider

• FED/SLED, Financial Services, Healthcare

The Moonshot Journey

Start with x86 servers while developing ARMUse well understood architecture to develop the Moonshot platform

Work with ARM and partners to define common basis for 64-bit ARM serversInnovation with common distributions and management solutions

ARM published Server Base System Architecture

HP is a founding member of Linaro/LEGStandardizing core components for Linux on ARM servers• Platform support with UEFI, ACPI, PCIe

Proving critical management and middleware on ARM• OpenStack, virtualization, OpenJDK

Presenter

Presentation Notes

TI has developed hybrid ARM processors that mix anywhere from one to four Cortex-A15 (32-bit) cores with one to eight TMS320C66x digital signal processors into a single SoC. These combinations in the Moonshot can be used in application specific work such as pure cloud infrastructure workloads – servers, switches, routers, network control planes, and telecommunication switches with applications such as VoIP and LTE. Applied Micro’s X-Gene 1 eight core SoC with ECC (error-correcting code) memory. The platform is capable of running a full LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP) software stack. The X-Gene implements the ARMv8 ISA which is a full 64-bit architecture that is backwards compatible with 32-bit ARMv7. The CPU features hardware virtualization acceleration, MMU virtualization, and advanced SIMD instructions


Balanced compute

The Moonshot ARM Journey Continues

Still working on UEFI/ACPI supportm400 uses U-Boot/DT• Good solution today with available software stacks

• Some code not upstream, complicates distribution support

Future ARM servers to be UEFI/ACPI• Need upstream support to expand distribution, deployment and management choices

• Need to be able to fit into existing data centers

Continuing Linaro/LEG middleware and performance projects for target workloadsEx: OpenStack, Virtualization, Java, Hadoop, subsystem performance

Responding to customer feedback on initial deployments


Innovation fueled by industry standards

Marking ARM Servers Mainstream

Provide customers with innovation and choiceDeliver the innovation efficiently by leveraging development for the basics

Build out the ecosystemHardware for developers

Support for ARM as a primary architecture for open source projects

Create workload-specific solutionsWith the choices customers expect• Servers

• Distributions

• Management

• Applications
