Up to 70% energy savings
The solution also boosts the overall energy
eiciency of the SpringCM data center. “I
basically gured out that I can run ve full
Moonshot chassis on a regular circuit,” King
relates. “That gives me 200 terabytes of
storage in half a cabinet of space.”
To build a similar-sized cluster using
traditional rack servers would have cost
King and team more than data center oor
space. “It would take 120 traditional servers
to power our DataStax Enterprise cluster,”
King explains. “In far less space, I can get 200
Moonshot servers that consume 60-70% less
power. That’s a big win for us.”
Accelerating innovation
The Moonshot paradigm has opened a new
era in business exibility for SpringCM,
whose leaders are now considering where
else the technology might t into their IT
landscape. “Watching our users accept this
new environment and getting excited about it,
we’re naturally thinking Moonshot might be a
better platform for other things we do, such
as OCR, document processing, or document
comparison,” Papatsaras says.
King concurs. “The cartridges talk to each
other so quickly, it makes you think of the
possibilities for other conceptually similar
processes—what else can we distribute this
way across multiple nodes?” he asks. “We’re
only about one month in on our production
environment, and already we’re imagining the
future of our data center with HP Moonshot
and DataStax Enterprise as the foundation.”
