Is Intel Optane PMem a Good Fit for How You Consume Memory?
WWT has been on the leading edge of helping customers benefit from incorporating Intel® Optane™ persistent memory (PMem) in the modern data center. In articles, blog posts, live demonstrations and industry events, WWT has shared the performance gains and cost savings of this re-imagining of the storage and memory hierarchy.
Assessing Intel Optane Persistent Memory With Dell Live Optics
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.
Optimize Memory Deployments in VMware VMs With Intel Optane Persistent Memory
The ever-increasing consolidation of business-critical workloads on VMware hybrid clouds, together with the accelerated growth of data-intensive applications, such as AI/ML, continues to escalate the challenges to control costs, energy, and footprint while supporting SLAs. Flavio Fomin, Intel Cloud Solution Engineer, will discuss how a tiered memory solution with Intel Optane PMem helps address these challenges and provides capabilities to optimize memory and foster VM consolidation.
Top Benefits of Intel Technology in the Cloud
Consistent, predictable performance; a broad, optimized software ecosystem; outstanding performance-perdollar; and wide availability across multiple cloud service providers are compelling reasons to use Intel® technology for your cloud workloads.
Key Takeaways From Intel Vision 2022
Intel Vision 2022 is a wrap, and WWT was a proud Silver Sponsor this year in Dallas. Our team was on hand to absorb myriad of announcements during the two days. Below, we would like to share our key takeaways with you. You can also watch the highlights of both keynotes for more context. If you have questions, please feel free to reach out using the link at the bottom of the article.
Liqid Composable Disaggregated Infrastructure Lab
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.
The ATC and Intel® Technologies Illuminate HPC's Future at SC21
Supercomputing 2021 is in the books. Read about some of the key takeaways and experiences from two WWT experts who participated.
Cisco and Intel Introduce the Future of Flexible Performance With New M6 Servers
Cisco's newest servers provides upgraded processors along with enhanced Intel memory as well as many new benefits for customers.
MemVerge Memory Machine
Digital transformation has resulted in a significant increase in real-time data creation, which has driven demand for real-time analytics and AI/ML applications.
MemVerge Memory Machine Lab
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.
Testing Intel Optane PMem Solution For SQL2019 In The ATC
World Wide Technology's Advanced Technology Center (ATC) is a collaborative ecosystem where WWT experts, customers and partners can explore, evaluate and educate themselves on integrated architectural solutions that accelerate digital transformation and help solve business challenges. Recently the ATC has experienced a significant increase in customer requests with SQL 2019 due to Microsoft ending support on their SQL 2005, SQL 2008, and SQL 2008 R2 products this past year. Customers are particularly interested in comparing 2-socket servers, 4-socket servers and servers integrated with Intel Optane solutions. These requests lead the ATC team to build an environment that combines these options into one solution. The environment includes an SQL 2019 workload, HammerDB for load generation, 2-socket blade (MX740c) and 4-socket blade (MX840c) solutions from Dell's MX7000 kinetic blade infrastructure, Dell's PowerMax Array and Intel Optane PMem.
