Intel® Memory Drive Technology
Enabling more affordable or bigger memory solutions for data centers.
Transparently Integrate SSDs Into the Memory Subsystem
Intel® Memory Drive Technology is a revolutionary software that extends system memory transparently. A great option for legacy platforms, the Intel® Optane™ Solid State Drive (SSD) is paired with Intel® Memory Drive Technology to transparently integrate the SSD into the memory subsystem. Without any further changes, the software makes the SSD appear like DRAM to the OS and applications. For 2nd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable platforms, Intel® Optane™ persistent memory is the best solution to increase memory capacity and persistence, and is optimized for in-memory databases like SAP HANA.
Enable New Possibilities
Displace DRAM
Extend Memory
Multi-Tenancy
Extending memory configurations that allow containers and virtual machines to utilize more operating system memory on Linux. This can improve workload density opportunities.
Key Value Stores & Caches
Redis* and Memcached* are software that traditionally only stores volatile caches in system RAM. Extending the size of these memory caches is now attainable at lower cost.
In-Memory Data-Processing & Analytics
Spark* is the most popular Data Processing Engine for analytics. It comes with a rich set of libraries to process traditional structured datasets, unstructured/streaming data and complex analytics for machine learning and AI.
High Performance Computing (HPC)
Extended memory configurations to enable high memory capacity for scientific applications such as in Life Sciences, CAE, computational chemistry, fluid dynamics, and rendering.
