We have published a number of stories lately that talk about the innovative uses of Intel’s 3D XPoint Optane persistent memory modules, which are a key component of the company’s “Cascade Lake” Xeon ...

This article is part of the Technology Insight series, made possible with funding from Intel. We recently discussed the prospect of Intel Optane DC persistent memory (DCPMM) migrating from the data ...

Intel in October clarified its memory plans moving forward when it announced it is selling its NAND memory business to SK Hynix in a two-step acquisition that is worth $9 billion and will take until ...

While 3D XPoint memory has been shipping as Optane from Intel for two years, it hasn't found a great deal of traction, but a new server DIMM and an upcoming Micron product release may change that.

Persistent memory – also known as storage class memory – has tantalized data center operators for many years. A new technology promises the key to success. It’s hard to remember a time when ...

Non-volatile memory (NVM) systems represent a transformative shift in data storage, blending the speed of conventional memory with the endurance of persistent storage. These systems enable data to ...

Memory and storage have been separate in computers for decades, but that’s changing. Hewlett Packard Enterprise took a step towards merging the two with its new “persistent memory” announced this week ...

Persistent memory is still sort of a specialty item in Linux—RAM that retains its state across boots. Dave Hansen recently remarked that it was a sorry state of affairs that user applications couldn't ...

The big picture: Persistent memory has long been anticipated to bring a paradigm shift in computing, but it's unlikely to happen anytime soon. In a recent webinar, industry insiders from the Storage ...

With a few exceptions, the announcements at Oracle OpenWorld last week were largely aimed at filling in the blanks of its cloud and data platform portfolio. ZDNet colleague Stephanie Condon was on the ...
