Dr. Ziya Ma, vice president of Intel® Software and Services Group and director of Data Analytics Technologies, gives Chip Chat listeners a look at data center optimization along with a preview of advancements well underway. In their work with the broad industry, Dr. Ma and her team have found that taming the data deluge calls for IT data center managers to unify their big data analytics and AI workflows. As they’ve helped customers overcome the memory constraints involved in data caching, Apache Spark*, which supports the convergence of AI on big data, has proven to be a highly effective platform. Dr. Ma and her team have already provided the community a steady stream of source code contributions and optimizations for Spark. In this interview she reveals that more – and even more exciting work – is underway. Spark depends on memory to perform and scale. That means optimizing Spark for the revolutionary new Intel® Optane™ DC persistent memory offers performance improvement for the data center. In one example, Dr. Ma describes benchmark testing where Spark SQL performs eight times faster at a 2.6TB data scale using Intel Optane DC persistent memory than a comparable system using DRAM DIMMs. With Intel Optane DC persistent memory announced and broadly available in 2019, data centers have the chance to achieve workflow unification along with performance gains and system resilience starting now.

Performance results are based on Intel internal testing: 8X faster insights (8/2/2018) based on Apache Spark* SQL IO intensive queries for Analytics vs. DRAM+HDD at 2.6TB data scale; 9X read transactions and 11X users per system (5/29/2018) based on Apache* Cassandra-4.0 workload doing 100% reads vs. comparable server system with DRAM & NAND NVME Drives; 12.5X faster restart times (5/30/2018) based on running SAP HANA 2.0 SPS 03, and may not reflect all publicly available security updates.

Christine McMonigal, Director of Hyperconverged Infrastructure at Intel, joins Chip Chat at the Microsoft Ignite 2018 conference to talk about what’s new from Microsoft and Intel. The two companies have collaborated extensively on hyperconvergence. One result, announced at Ignite, is a refreshed version of Intel® Select Solutions for Windows Server* Software Defined Storage. It adds support for Microsoft’s newly announced Windows Server 2019, which in turn supports Intel® Optane™ DC persistent memory. Intel is working with many industry partners, including Microsoft, to create what it calls Intel Select Solutions, full stack solutions optimized and benchmarked for verified performance. The aim is to bring more data centers into hyperconverged environments more readily. To support Storage Spaces Direct, one of Windows Server 2019’s new features, Intel just released two configurations to the market as reference designs. The Base configuration can support a wide range of workloads while the Plus configuration is optimized for more latency-sensitive workloads like databases and analytics. McMonigal gives us a look at what’s ahead, with Intel Optane DC persistent memory being used as a high-speed cache in hyperconverged solutions, to name just one exciting application.
