Realizing the promise of 5G requires service providers to upgrade existing networks to handle an explosion of high-definition video, voice, and data traffic. This webinar will focus on transforming the core network, a vital infrastructure element that handles the majority of traffic processing. We'll discuss the challenges and offer insight on the transition to a cloud-native core architecture to provide the agility, flexibility and efficiency that 5G services will require. Learn how strong industry collaboration and solutions built on leading Intel 5G technology are already powering 5G core network infrastructure today. Together with ecosystem partners, we'll share several edge solutions and deployments that demonstrate groundbreaking throughput performance, efficiency, overall cost savings and scale sought by service providers on the journey to deploy 5G.

The new Intel® Optane™ persistent memory (PMem) redefines traditional architectures, offering large capacity and new memory tier at an affordable cost. Your application performance can be significantly accelerated by utilizing persistent memory; however, development can be challenging. The Persistent Memory Developer Kit (PMDK) and training materials will help guide you. The performance benefits of using persistent memory remotely over a Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) network, in place of traditional storage, can be significant. While the same persistent memory programming rules apply, there is the additional challenge of implementing that programming model over a network. This webinar will start with a quick refresher on the SNIA persistent memory programming model basics, what RDMA is and how it works, and how RDMA can be utilized with persistent memory. Through the use of simple animations, the webinar will then demonstrate two specific methods that can be utilized today to unlock the use of persistent memory remotely. The session will close with a brief overview of current RDMA support in PMDK.

Attendees will learn about:
• A brief introduction to the SNIA programming model for persistent memory
• A brief introduction to RDMA, what it is and how it works
• Implementing the persistent memory programming model over an RDMA connection
• The two methods that are being utilized today to access remote persistent memory with RDMA
• Current RDMA support in PMDK

In this webinar, we'll discuss Numba's extensibility using Intel Scalable Dataframe Compiler project as a case study. Numba is a just-in-time compiler for Python that is designed for scientific, engineering, and data science applications. We will demonstrate the code autovectorization and autoparallelization, new data types such as typed lists and dictionaries, adding support for additional data types, and registering Numba extensions. We will also review best practices for incorporating Numba into a project, and when distributing code.

Join Intel & Bright Computing to dive into how to install an Intel HPC Select Solutions for HPC clustered environment using Bright Cluster Manger. Covering what benefits are built into the installation process including support for the Intel HPC Platform Specification, Intel HPC Runtime Environments and Intel Cluster Checker. Attendees will learn the steps needed to deploy a cluster using Bright Cluster Manager and should walk away with the confidence to try on their own.

Persistent memory offers Java developers design flexibility and significant performance opportunities in applications that need to store data persistently. We’ll start with a brief overview of different ways to access persistent memory from Java today. Then we’ll go into a more in-depth exploration of an open-source Java library: the Low-Level Persistence Library (LLPL). A walk through of Java code samples will give a feel for the power of using LLPL and direct memory programming for the storage of persistent data.

The Supermicro portfolio of servers and storage, with over 100 systems supporting the 2nd Generation Intel® Xeon® scalable processor family, is now even better than before.

In this webinar, the product experts from Supermicro will discuss the latest upgrade in Intel Xeon technology and the impact this has on the entire X11 range of SuperServers and SuperStorage.

With Better cost-efficiency, Faster performance and Greener systems, this technology upgrade provides exponential benefits for your business. Register today, and find out more.

Hyperconvergence off-late has been gaining rapid adoption in Tier 1 Mission Critical use cases also. The next generation technologies from Intel and Supermicro along with VMware 7.0 Release is going to further simplify the deployment and accelerate performance while providing that elusive peace of mind.

So you’re already familiar with hyper-converged infrastructure and how it simplifies compute, storage, and networking, and provides high-performance, cost-effective, and easily scalable virtualization that runs on industry-standard hardware.

And you already know that with a Windows Server 2019 datacenter license, you already have the capability to run Azure Stack HCI without additional software or incurring additional costs.

But how does Azure Stack HCI work in the real world with real customers?

In this webinar, we’ll discuss how Bradley, a national law firm, deployed an Azure Stack HCI solution powered by the latest Intel technologies for its primary data center and remote offices. It used an Intel Select Solution for Azure Stack HCI with Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors and Intel® Optane™ technology to greatly reduce SQL backup times and VDI startup times, while increase performance and response times of their business-critical applications.
