Marc Hamilton writes that HP’s new Project Moonshot will leverage ARM’s extreme low-energy processor technology in what they’re calling the “Redstone” server development platform for Web and cloud serving:
Using ARM System On a Chip (SOC) technology, the Redstone platform packs 288 single socket servers into a single 4RU chassis, delivering extreme energy efficiency for a wide range of web workloads. While the fact that the Redstone development platform is based on ARM processor technology is interesting, the focus of Moonshot is not just about ARM, it is about rethinking server design from the ground up, for scalability, for performance, and for energy efficiency.

Rich,
Just to clarify, Redstone is the name for the server platform, not the ARM processor.
