SC19: ScaleMP With Intel

ScaleMP, Inc., in virtualization software, partnered with Intel Corp. to optimize and tune Intel Memory Drive Technology for Optane client SSDs, targeting clients in need of larger system memory for the desktop environment.

“Intel’s Optane client solid state SSD coupled with Intel Memory Drive Technology, delivers an industry-leading, high-end solution for memory-intensive client applications, such as engineering simulations, in-memory data analytics, bioinformatics and other memory-intensive applications,” said Shai Fultheim, CEO and founder, ScaleMP. “It is lowering the acquisition cost and enabling larger system scales for demanding applications, expanding the system memory of a workstation by up to 8x the installed DRAM. Our customers leverage the cost and scale benefits of NVM over DRAM and make decisions in real time without changes to their software stacks.“

“Building on the success of Intel Memory Drive technology in data center applications, expanding system memory for desktop and workstations with high performance Intel Optane Technology is the logical next step,” said David Lundell, director of strategic planning and marketing, Intel. “We now enable engineers, data analysts, animators and many others to affordably expand their workstation’s memory to enable them to take advantage of in-memory data.“

This technology enables the creation of high memory systems based on the Optane SSDs, including the data center P4800x/P4801x series and the client 900p/905p series.
