Intel Optane SSD DC P4800X Series With Twice More Capacity

Intel Corp. announced the Optane SSD DC P4800X Series, a responsive data center SSD, is available in a 750GB capacity in both half-height, half-length add-in card and a hot-swappable 2.5-inch U.2 form factor.

Both form factors and capacities will be available this month.

Increased capacity and multiple form factors expand data center implementation options and deliver both solution-level and TCO flexibility for customers. Optane technology for data centers combines the attributes of memory and storage with low latency, high endurance, QoS and high throughput, creating a new data tier that increases scale per server and reduces transaction costs.

Combined with the latest Xeon Scalable processors, Optane technology enables bigger and affordable data sets to gain new insights from larger memory pools. The Optane SSD DC P4800X is a SSD for storage workloads, like SAN and software defined storage, as well as cloud, database, big data and performance computing workloads.

This capacity follows the 375GB half-height, half-length add-in card launched earlier this year. The Optane SSD DC P4800X Series is also available as part of the Intel Select Solutions program and through additional OEMs, cloud service providers and distributors starting this month.

The company in November 2017 announced availability of the 750GB capacity Optane SSD DC P4800X Series in add-in card form factor.
