In the next year or two, Hewlett Packard Enterprise will add support for Intel Optane memory and storage to its latest Unix servers.
Optane is a new form of storage and memory that could replace today’s SSDs and DRAM. It is significantly faster and denser than both.
One new system that can be configured with Optane is HPE’s new Integrity i6 server, which was released this week. Integrity i6 is based on Intel’s Itanium 9700 processors, code-named Kittson, and runs the HP-UX OS. The server can also be linked to HP’s all-flash 3Par storage arrays, which are due to get Optane support later.
Optane has stringent hardware and OS requirements. The first Optane products were low-capacity storage drives for PC caching and worked only with Intel’s Kaby Lake chips and Windows 10.
