Composable Memory Kit

While CPU performance has generally kept up with the demands of next generation workloads the capacity of system memory (DRAM) has not. And it’s expensive to boot. Intel® Memory Drive Technology software paired with Intel® Optane™ SSD, extends system memory transparently, integrating the SSD into the memory subsystem. Without any further changes, the software makes the Intel Optane SSD appear like DRAM to the OS and applications.

Satisfy memory hungry applications by allowing any amount of Intel Optane persistent memory to be added or removed from servers in seconds, with the Composable Memory Kit from Liqid. With Liqid Composable Disaggregated Infrastructure (CDI) up to 48TB of high-

Up to 48TB of Shareable Intel® Optane™ Memory

performance Intel Optane memory can be allocated to up to four single-socket host servers via software in seconds. Composable Optane memory unlocks the resources needed in high performance computing use cases, including AI and Deep Learning.

With advanced resource management and utilization, Liqid enables IT users to compose Intel Optane memory in addition to FPGAs, CPUs, GPUs, NICs, and other PCIe connected technologies. Composable Optane memory on Liqid intelligent fabrics allow IT users to create and maintain a more efficient data center infrastructure to meet the crushing data performance requirements of today’s high value compute intensive applications.

The Liqid 3U Composable Memory Kit connects with new or fielded servers to scale and continually right-size memory capacity as workflows and application demands fluctuate. This industry leading solution provisions new or additional Intel Optane memory to dedicated servers and provides agility and flexibility via bare-metal orchestration that enables each connected host to carve out the necessary memory from the 24TB– 48TB global pool and use it for as long as the particular workload demands it. Once priorities change, the user can reclaim the memory via policy based provisioning set in Liqid CommandCenter™ orchestration and assign it to a different host and workload.
