Intel Data Center Optane Storage Products and Updates

David Tuhy, VP and GM of Intel’s Data Center Optane Storage Division, introduces new data center SSDs leveraging Intel Optane technology for high-performance applications. Growing workload intensity impacts system architecture, and the number of CPU cores per socket has driven up the amount of memory and storage required. Legacy storage is a bottleneck, and Intel is filling this gap with Intel Optane data center SSD products, including the new P5800X, which delivers record-setting performance. When compared to the previous generation P4800X, the P5800X delivers 3x random 4k mixed IOPS, 40% better QoS, 3x more sequential 4k-128k bandwidth, and 67% better endurance. It also includes a special mode that can deliver 4.6 million 512 byte IOPS. Hady then presents the growing ecosystem for Intel Optane technology. Finally, Hady and Intel Senior Director of Product Management Kristie Mann take questions from the Tech Field Day delegates.
