Intel® Optane™ Persistent Memory 200 Series Delivers 32 Percent More Bandwidth on Average[d:8450] with up to 6 TB Total Memory per Socket[d:8449].
Over 90 percent of enterprises are in the midst of their digital transformation journey1 to become data-centric businesses. Thus, they will need to capture, analyze, and secure increasing amounts of data. Data growth is accelerating the demand for performant, data-intensive computing. As the demand for compute grows, memory capacity in the system typically needs to scale along with it. Large pools of DRAM help accelerate computing with low latency, but DRAM is limited in capacity, is volatile, and expensive. DRAM is becoming one of the most expensive components in modern server bills of materials. Alternatively, block storage is large, cheap, and persistent, but slow to bring data to the CPU.
Intel® Optane™ persistent memory (PMem) bridges the gap with an innovative memory technology. This new memory delivers a unique combination of affordable large capacity and support for data persistence. With 3rd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors and Intel Optane PMem 200 series workloads can optimize performance and cost by creating a 2-tier hierarchy in memory and storage. Supported for these processors on 2-socket and 4-socket platforms, PMem is helping to turn more data into actionable insights.
Intel® Optane™ Persistent Memory 200 Series
Intel® Optane™ PMem 200 series coexists side-by-side with system memory, occupying existing DRAM slots. It delivers an average of up to 32 percent more memory bandwidth than the previous generation.2 Available in 128 GB, 256 GB, and 512 GB modules, it offers both large capacity and persistence that enable new platform architectures to:
Help accelerate large-memory computing by keeping more data closer to the CPU
Accelerate restart times with reduced I/O by persisting data in memory and not require reloading from storage
