Personnel: Jeffrey Steiner

Database performance used to be simple: Everything was limited by the performance of those spinning metal platters, and customers had to buy a lot of them. All-flash storage arrays have solved those problems while creating a new challenge – figuring out what is needed. Is it IOPS? Is it latency? Is it networking? Is it the query logic? This discussion will cover the basics of database IO performance and how to ensure that your storage purchase is meeting real-world needs in a cost-effective way. Presented by Jeffrey Steiner, Principal Architect, NetApp.

Tech Field Day Roundtable Discussion About Intel’s Memory and Storage Moment 2020

Event: Tech Field Day Exclusive with Intel Memory and Storage

Personnel: Barry Coombs, Dan Frith, Enrico Signoretti, Howard Marks, Jason Collier, Justin Warren, Keith Townsend, Max Mortillaro, Paul Woodward, Stephen Foskett, W. Curtis Preston

Stephen Foskett, Publisher of Gestalt IT, leads a roundtable discussion following Intel’s Memory and Storage Moment in December 2020. Foskett begins by asking the delegates if Intel Optane Technology is truly as revolutionary as it has been presented. Next, the discussion turns to the current success of Optane technology, and whether it is having the impact we expected over the past few years. The discussion then turns to whether this technology will fundamentally transform systems architecture, especially now that disaggregated servers are a reality. The final point asked is if the application of Optane Technology inside cloud services, high-performance compute, and integrated systems is masking the true impact of the technology.


Intel Data Center Optane Storage Products and Updates

Event: Tech Field Day Exclusive with Intel Memory and Storage

Appearance: Intel Memory and Storage Moment Tech Field Day Presentations

Company: Intel

Personnel: David Tuhy, Frank Hady, Kristie Mann

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.


Intel Optane Persistent Memory Update

Event: Tech Field Day Exclusive with Intel Memory and Storage

Appearance: Intel Memory and Storage Moment Tech Field Day Presentations

Company: Intel

Personnel: Kelsey Prantis, Kristie Mann

Kristie Mann, Senior Director, Product Management discusses the application of Intel Optane technology in the Persistent Memory tier. This technology is used in high-end servers such as Oracle Exadata, high-performance computing (HPC) exemplified by Intel’s DAOS, and big memory as with MemVerge software. Oracle Exadata X8M ships with Intel Optane Persistent Memory (PMEM) today and the system has been optimized to use it as a new data tier to accelerate database commits. Intel’s open source Distributed Asynchronous Object Store (DAOS) leverages Intel Optane Persistent Memory technology as a hot data tier for small I/O operations and metadata to deliver an order of magnitude better performance than other object stores. Finally, companies like MemVerge are using Intel Optane Persistent Memory technology to deliver “big memory” to existing applications with in-memory snapshots and persistence.

Next, Kelsey Prantis, Senior Software Engineering Manager, gives details of how the DAOS software uses Intel Optane Persistent Memory to set records for performance. Block I/O limits storage performance in today’s enterprise storage solutions, with misaligned I/O and small I/O lining up to be serialized, reducing performance. DAOS uses Intel Optane Persistent Memory to store these small I/Os, delivering record-setting performance in the ISC20 IO500 competition. Using second-generation Persistent Memory, DAOS is showing a 58% improvement in write bandwidth and 5% more read bandwidth. Prantis and Mann also take questions from the Tech Field Day delegates and discuss the application of this technology.


The Future of Storage and Memory with Intel Optane

Event: Tech Field Day Exclusive with Intel Memory and Storage

Appearance: Intel Memory and Storage Moment Tech Field Day Presentations

Company: Intel

Video Links:

Personnel: Frank Hady

Frank Hady, Intel Fellow and Chief Optane Systems Architect, discusses the evolution of the memory and storage hierarchy and the application of Intel Optane technology across it. Intel’s Optane technology can help to fill the “hole” in the memory and storage hierarchy between NAND flash and DRAM in two different ways: Storage-addressed and memory-addressed. As systems evolve beyond Dennard scaling with multi-core and specialized processors, systems need multiple hierarchies of memory and storage with greater resources to support them. Storage-addressed Optane technology can serve as specialized capacity for metadata and logs along with NAND flash, while memory-addressed Optane technology can be a tier of memory along with DRAM as a cache.
