A New Class of Memory Technology

Lenovo and Intel have a robust history of innovation forged through a partnership that goes back 25 years. Together we have tackled the world's most demanding IT challenges.

Intel's latest breakthrough reengineers the storage/memory hierarchy for even greater productivity. Intel® Optane™ DC Persistent Memory is now available. This technology is a significant advancement for the Intel Xeon® Scalable Platform and is included with the second-generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors included in Lenovo ThinkSystem servers.

Intel Optane DC persistent memory represents a new class of memory and storage technology explicitly architected for data center usage. It offers three main benefits:

  • Significantly lower latency than fetching data from system storage
  • High capacities
  • Affordable cost

Using Lenovo ThinkSystem servers running applications that are tuned for Intel Optane DC Persistent memory will result in lower data latency compared to solid-state drive technology. When data is stored closer to the processor on nonvolatile media, applications can see significant overall improvement in performance. 

Lenovo supports Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory in the recent refreshes of our high-performance ThinkSystem servers where customers are most likely to implement solutions with this new offering. This includes our 8-socket, 4-socket, and many of our 2-socket servers.
