Intel Optane Persistent Memory (PMem) solves the problem of memory growth and DRAM density limitations by offering an efficient and cost-effective way to embrace a memory tiering architecture. This lab uses Dell Live Optics to perform an assessment and sizing for Intel Optane PMem.

Within this lab, users become familiarized with a basic virtual CMTS environment by learning to configure and install custom service group configurations, tune traffic rates and use the included Grafana dashboard to view the performance of Intel's Ice-Lake CPUs. This lab is targeted toward anybody who is interested in the future of DOCSIS technology and the virtualization of network functions.

The Liqid Composable Disaggregated Infrastructure (CDI) Lab showcases how to create impossible hardware configurations that are unfeasible in the physical world. Compose bare metal servers with any number of configurations via software. The lab consists of Dell PowerEdge compute, Liqid PCIe4 Fabric, Liqid Matrix Software, Intel NVMe and NVIDIA GPUs.

Digital transformation has created a demand for real-time data that is driving the expansion of real-time analytics and AI/ML applications. This demand has exposed a performance gap between what current solutions can deliver versus what they need to be able to deliver. Real-time applications rely on the available in-memory space to properly perform and yesterday's technology just doesn't have the capacity, performance and availability that today's applications require. MemVerge Memory Machine virtualizes persistent memory (PMEM) such as Intel's Optane DC PMEM by allowing applications to access it as both volatile memory and persistent memory without rewriting applications. In addition, Memory Machine provides data services such as in-memory snapshots and replication, addressing application fault tolerance and data durability challenges when applications are deployed on persistent memories.
