(Phys.org) -- Hewlett-Packard has a longer term message that reaches over all company announcements. HP wants the world to know that, never mind hasty CEO exits and entrances, never mind killing off brand-conscious products, never mind laying off floors and floors of expert workers; what it wants people to notice are the areas of outstanding expertise that remain. Namely, HP wants to make impressive waves in improving data center efficiencies. Despite all the drama, HP engineers who remain have been working on a data center server design, initially called Project Moonshot, that can help customers reduce server complexity, save on energy use and cut their costs. HP’s ambitious-sounding Project Moonshot this week is turning another corner.
HP and Intel have announced that Project Moonshot will be codenamed "Gemini" and will be powered by Intel Atom processors codenamed "Centerton." The servers are being prepared for eventual rollout at servers will become available for customer testing shortly and will begin shipping by year's end.
