[colug-432] HP Moonshot

[Eric Floehr]

I thought one of the coolest things at LinuxFest last year was the HP
Moonshot booth. The hardware showed real innovation, and it was neat to see
ARM chips packed into a powerful server architecture. The server density
and power efficiency was pretty cool too.

Anyway, thought you'd like to know they've officially released the hardware
for purchase:

Sadly, the first available modules are Intel Atom Centerton based and not
ARM based. ARM is still planned, however, but my guess is that going x86 is
an easier sell for them into the Enterprise, even if ARM offers better
price/compute/power stats (though Intel seems to be catching up).

Cheers,
Eric
