… NetApp Memory Accelerated Data (MAX Data) 1.3 With Support for Optane DC Persistent Memory …

NetApp, Inc. announced Memory Accelerated Data (MAX Data) 1.3 supporting the Intel Corp.‘s Optane DC persistent memory.

The combination of MAX Data and Optane DC persistent memory enables organizations to stay competitive by doing more with their data.

Companies are challenged with using volumes of data to achieve real business impact. Taking advantage of data is often easier said than done. New applications such as AI, ML, deep learning, real-time analytics, and IoT, all of which are memory hungry and fueled by massive datasets, compound this challenge. By using a new memory tier, the company helps customers put their data to work without having to re-architect their critical applications. MAX Data gives customers the tools to unlock the value of enormous datasets and extend a Data Fabric strategy all the way into their servers with applications and data.

“As the leading developer of digital humans technology and creative content, we chose NetApp MAX Data to support our SUNFLOWER Framework that enables acquisition of huge 3D and 4D data sets, for which intense development work is then fueled with more application workloads per server,” said Milan Kljajic, system engineer, 3Lateral.

“With NetApp MAX Data now supporting Intel Optane DC persistent memory, organizations can accelerate data pipelines across an entire enterprise to power applications such as Oracle and MongoDB with the simplicity, choice, and scale necessary for real business impact,” said Joel Reich, EVP, storage systems and software, NetApp. “With the volume of data generated and managed across on-premises data centers, IoT devices and sensors, as well as in hybrid cloud environments, having a data fabric strategy that spans edge, core, and cloud is essential to business success.“

“Customers can unlock the value of their data stockpiles with the powerful combination of 2^nd generation Intel Xeon scalable processors and Optane DC persistent memory,” said Jennifer Huffstetler, VP and GM, datacenter product management and storage, Intel Corp. “Working with innovators like NetApp will help us move, store and process more data than ever before.”

MAX Data is an enterprise storage solution using Optane DC persistent memory in servers to store persistent data delivering affordable, memory-like low latency and flash-like capacity, without any rewrites required to application code, allowing companies to take advantage of the benefits of real-time apps.
