Learn the details of Intel's Optane announcement, what it means for customers and how WWT can help.

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.

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.

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.

Supercomputing 2021 is in the books. Read about some of the key takeaways and experiences from two WWT experts who participated.

Cisco's newest servers provides upgraded processors along with enhanced Intel memory as well as many new benefits for customers.

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.

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.
