In this technical webinar, you’ll learn all about the new Intel® SSD DC P4500 in the “Ruler” form factor, how it delivers value for data center customers in disaggregated storage use cases, and the roadmap of products being delivered in high volume today.

Using Flash to substitute memory in databases can substantially increase density, reduce costs and improve durability. However, most databases access Flash through traditional storage and file system layers, utilizing only a fraction of Flash’s potential speed. As a result, companies keep using in-memory databases with expensive memory and limited data capacity and resiliency. Ori Modai will explain how to build real-time intelligent apps which run across large data sets and reach in-memory database performance with Intel’s NVMe Flash. He will describe the challenges posed by traditional database and storage architectures and will present a new database design which maximizes the value of flash, reaching 20x lower costs and 100x higher density. The session will include a technical deep dive followed by real-world customer use-cases in the fields of IoT edge and online AI applications.

Enterprises around the world strive to stay ahead and would like to rearrange their data centers to support new ways of doing business. However, there are lots of challenges that one must face on this transformation journey. In this webinar, Wendy Wu, Business development team lead for VMware solutions from QCT (Quanta Cloud Technology) will elaborate the challenges you may face and how can you leverage QCT and Intel’s knowledge and efforts to address those challenges and find the fastest path to your data center transformation.

Business critical application performance and cost control have typically been a challenge for many customers - Intel® recognized these challenges and developed the Intel Select Solutions program as a way to simplify and bring confidence so that solution component selection will result in workload optimized deployments. Hewlett Packard Enterprise has followed the Intel reference design to create tested solution configurations that meet Intel Select performance standards while providing predictable outcomes for Microsoft® SQL Server 2016 OLTP database workloads.

Low latency NVMe SSD performance eliminates storage bottlenecks for demanding datacenter applications such as databases, big data, virtual servers, virtual desktops, and business intelligence. Harnessing this new level of performance with Quality of Service (QoS) enables enterprises to extend this breakthrough performance to run multiple, mixed application workloads, including latency and queue depth sensitive applications, on hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI). Join the webinar to see how Intel NVMe Flash and Pivot3 advanced QoS enable enterprises to better achieve strategic business objectives and realize savings that go straight to the bottom line.

Tech Giants have redefined infrastructure design for web-scale applications, leveraging standard servers and shared-nothing architectures to ensure maximum operational efficiency and flexibility. Enterprises and service providers are seeking to optimize their infrastructures in the same way. For storage, this means they want to deploy unified scale-out storage infrastructures leveraging Software-Defined Storage. SDS, integrated with Software-Defined Networking, virtualization and newer architectures such as containers and their orchestration platforms completes the Software-Defined Data Center.

In this webinar you will learn how to build elastic storage architectures with client-side services, leveraging the latest generations of Intel® NVMe flash and software-defined storage, with no need for proprietary arrays. Your network becomes your storage!

In January this year we introduced the value proposition NetApp and Commvault bring to the Next Generation Data Center. In this webinar we will drill down into this a little more, highlighting the tight integration between NetApp ONTAP and Commvault IntelliSnap for NetApp and what this means for customers. We will highlight how we’ve combined the benefits from a traditional back-up product with high-speed snapshot technology, all within a simple management interface, to eliminate complexity and accelerate protection and recovery.

Enterprises are eager to take advantage of artificial intelligence technologies such as deep learning to introduce new services and enhance insights from company data. As data science teams move past proof of concept and begin to operationalize deep learning, it becomes necessary to focus on the creation of a complete data architecture that eliminates bottlenecks to facilitate faster model iteration.

Designing a data architecture involves thinking holistically about the data pipeline, from data ingest and edge analytics, to data prep and training in the core data center, to archiving in the cloud. It is critical to understand performance requirements and data services needed, but one should also consider future extensibility and supportability as deep learning hardware and cloud approaches evolve over time.

This session will examine all the factors involved in the architecture of a data pipeline for deep learning, focusing in on data management and the hybrid cloud. Careful infrastructure planning can smooth the flow of data through your deep learning pipeline, lead to faster time to deployment, and thus maximum competitive differentiation.
