Intel Leads the Way
With its Optane DC Persistent Memory, Intel is driving the conversation in the industry around SCS as a technology.
Intel Optane technology is a combination of Intel 3D xPoint memory media with Intel-built advanced system memory controller, interface hardware and software IP. (A few years ago, Intel together with Micron Technology introduced 3D XPoint).
Optane DC Persistent Memory represents a new class of memory and storage technology designed for the data center. HPE’s Memory-Driven Flash announced last month was developed in partnership with Intel.
“Intel is pushing SCM at a base level and the vendors are leveraging Intel’s technology for products,” said IDC’s Burgener.
While not a startup player in the SCM space, this is a new business area for Intel.
