Smart Storage : HP Moonshot’s Infrastructure Reduces Time-To-Market By Years
Texas Instruments (TI) is one of the four chipset partners with HP on the HP Moonshot 1500 announcement that went live this morning. In his live interview with John Furrier (Founder, SiliconANGLE) and Dave Vellante (Chief Analyst, Wikibon) on theCUBE, Brian Glinsman (VP of Processors, Texas Instrument) discusses everything from time to market reduction and new market opportunities with the HP Moonshot announcement.
The HP Moonshot infrastructure enables an organization to get to market very quickly, allowing companies to build a server that makes the most sense for its needs on an individual basis. How quick to market you ask? “Our common base of clients time to market is reduced by years,” said Glinsman.
Another key takeaway from Moonshot’s annoucement for TI stockholders is the new market opportunities for TI. He listed three high-level examples:
- Data manipulation
- Analytics (user trends, videos, voice)
- Blend in large data farms with highly computational math
More specifically, Glinsman mentioned two specific market opportunities he’s noticed; financial data modeling and genetic mapping (a market opportunity also discussed by Calxeda in an earlier segment). Overall, Moonshot has opened up a large base of things TI had never thought of marketwise.
The days of generic servers are over. The Moonshot platform is all about power, space and cost, and is purpose-built. And being an open platform, there are choices with Moonshot, too. Besides the savings and smaller footprint, speed to market is something that Glinsman mentioned on more than one occasion He doesn’t believe the speed to market is months better, he was adamant on more than one occasion to deem it 2-3 years faster.
Better products, lower prices, higher output. In line with the entire HP Moonshot announcement coverage, we once again hear the overarching theme: doing more with less, for less money. Furrier ended the interview with a question for Glinsman on what big innovations in the space he expects to see five years down the road?
“I think as I mentioned earlier in the Moonshot announcement, power consumption per function has to come down. Power is the number one thing we need to attack. It’s like you can tell people you can loose weight by not eating, but that isn’t a solution.”
Power-hungry apps moving to purpose-built apps in order to save power. If I had a crystal ball, I’m pretty sure that is what I’d be seeing too.
