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

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.
