On Monday, April 8^th, HP delivered on a product designed expressly for scale-out computing, the Moonshot.

HP Proliant Moonshot aims to help users reduce their consumption of computing resources overall.

The video below, is the introduction to Moonshot by HP.

A specs sheet on HP Moonshot can be found here.

Hopefully, this intro helps folks learn more, and know more about HP Moonshot. Over the past 26 hours, there has been much confusion among some of my Twitter followers as to what, exactly, Moonshot is, and what the target market for it is.

Over the next several weeks, I intend to seek out, and speak with HP staffers in order to glean more about this product.

Moonshot isn’t something HP just stumbled onto. Back in 2011, at the HP Cloud Tech Day, Paul Santeler, VP of Hyperscale at HP, talked to us about HP’s work in this area.
