Liqid and Intel® Optane™ Aim for DRAM at Gartner IT Infrastructure 2018
Liqid PCIe Fabric and Intel Software Bridge the Gap Between SSD and
DRAM Supercharging Industry-leading Solid State Solution for
Memory-centric Workloads
LAS VEGAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–At Gartner
IT Infrastructure, Operations, and Cloud Strategies Conference 2018
(Inspur partner booth # 347), Liqid,
leading provider of composable disaggregated infrastructure (CDI) and
NVMe solutions, is demonstrating Liqid and Intel®
Optane™ solid state drive solutions that combine the unparalleled
high throughput, low latency, quality of service (QoS) and endurance of
Intel Optane SSDs with Liqid’s industry-leading PCIe fabrics to scale
2-4X the capacity and bandwidth. Achieving DRAM memory-like speeds, the
Liqid and Intel Optane solution suite is available in capacities of up
to 1.5 TB for high-performance workloads associated with artificial
intelligence (AI) and machine learning, high performance computing
(HPC), cloud and edge computing environments.
“The Intel Optane P4800X SSD is the first Intel product to combine the
attributes of memory and storage, which is leading to a shift in how
storage and memory are deployed in the data center,” said James Myers,
Director of Storage Solutions Architecture, Intel. “By partnering with
Liqid, we can offer Intel customers the ability to flexibly deploy
Optane SSDs solutions into a Liqid Grid composable system, or within the
Liqid Element SSD consolidating multiple Optane SSDs into a single SSD
with significantly increased capacity and bandwidth, effectively
doubling the data speeds that Optane can achieve for the most demanding
applications for which lightning fast data manipulation is imperative.”
Intel Optane technology represents a unique combination of Intel®
3D XPoint™ memory media with Intel-built advanced system memory
controller, interface hardware and software IP. Leveraged with Liqid
PCIe fabric technology, together, these building blocks deliver a
game-changing NVM technology that presents new system architecture and
computing possibilities for a breadth of existing and new high-growth
markets.
When coupled with Liqid’s PCIe fabric technology, Intel Optane can
achieve performance enhancements and features that include:
- Up to 7GBps throughput and 1.5 million IOPs
- High Capacity Design up to 1.5 TB
- Multiple Form Factors: HH-HL AIC or 2.5” U.2
- HH-HL AIC Supports Gen3x8 Interface
- Single or Dual Port U.2, Gen3x8 interface
- Dual Port U.2 Supports Active/Active Mode
- Plug-n-Play & UEFI Compatibility
- Active Monitoring and Thermal Throttling
- Supports Intel Memory Drive Technology (IMDT)
“We are proud to collaborate with Intel to outfit the data center with
non-volatile memory solutions bridging the gap between SSDs and DRAM at
a fraction of RAM’s power and cost,” said Marius Tudor, Vice President,
Sales & Marketing, Liqid. “PCIe fabric and composable infrastructure
software from Liqid are enabling enterprise companies with the latest
non-volatile memory and SSD technology as a fundamental building block
in their quest to transform the data center landscape from historically
static to dynamic and elastic bare-metal infrastructure.”
