Kristie Mann, Sr. Director Optane DC Persistent Memory Products, updates the Storage Field Day 21 delegates on the history of Intel’s Optane technology and discusses recent developments. Mann begins with a look back at the timeline of Optane technology: The start of 3D XPoint development in 2012, the announcement in 2015, first SSD products in 2017 and PMem products in 2019, and the recent introduction of the PMem 200 and SSD P5800X. Mann also gives some statistics on Optane adoption across multiple industries and workloads including in-memory database, VMware vSAN, AI and analytics, and more. Next, Mann gives an update on the SK hynix announcement, in which Intel will sell their NAND memory and storage business in two phases (estimated as 2021 and 2025 or beyond) but will retain Optane technology in a new Intel Optane Group (IOG) within Intel DPG. Finally David Lundell, GM, Client Division, corrects recent press reports about Intel’s Optane client products.

PayPal, the world’s largest online money transfer, billing, and payments system, wanted instant response to detect fraud among hundreds of reads and writes per transaction, 325 million customer profiles, and 32% annual data growth. They partnered with Aerospike to deploy Intel Optane Persistent Memory in an optimized database with higher performance than SSDs, lower cost per GB than DRAM, higher node densities, and data indexes which persist over system restarts. This solution stores 5x more records per node, reduced node count by 2x, and increased replication factor from 2 to 3, with 30% lower cluster hardware cost and 8x faster restart times. In this session, Tim Faulkes, Vice President of Solutions Architecture for Aerospike, discusses the solution with Ginger Gilsdorf, Application Engineer at Intel, and Kristie Mann, Sr. Director Optane DC Persistent Memory Products at Intel. The group also takes questions from the Storage Field Day delegates.
