Intel Optane™ technology as differentiator for internet of everything and fog computing

Traditional network and cloud solutions cannot address effectively the infrastructure and data architecture challenges introduced by the emergence of the Internet of Everything (IoE). IoE creates unprecedented volume of complex data which must be stored, transferred, processed and analyzed in real time for time sensitive applications. Indeed, most of the applications in IoE domain (autonomous driving, health monitoring, banking, industrial control systems …) are time and quality of service sensitive and need new solutions for data integrity and data availability for successful decision. At Intel, we are working on new computer paradigm and storage technologies such as Intel® Optane™ SSDs and Intel® 3D NAND SSDs that can address some of these challenges. With Intel® Optane™, it is now possible to create a high performance and real time available Software-Defined Infrastructure (SDI) by enabling full dis-aggregate and pool of the underlying hardware resources, creating distributed memory/storage imperatives and giving research community and enterprise the performance and capabilities to benefit from revolutionary technologies such as Fog Computing and Artificial Intelligence by dynamically assigning compute, storage and network resource in real-time time sensitive workloads. In this keynote, we will discuss data storage, availability, integrity, quality of service and movement in this compute paradigm shift. We will also touch on how it impacts mobile edge, fog computing and cloud infrastructures. We will then conclude with the challenges and opportunities this new solution will bring.
