How Intel and ScyllaDB Provide the Speed of an In-memory Database with Persistency

Intel Optane drives are set to revolutionize data centers by providing lower latencies and higher throughput, benefiting ScyllaDB users by offering the speed of an in-memory database with data persistence. In an interview, ScyllaDB's Solutions Architect, Tomer Sandler, discussed his role, which involves testing and demonstrating use cases, conducting training, and writing technical content. Tomer, alongside Frank Ober from Intel, will present at ScyllaDB Summit 2017 about the performance enhancements of using Intel Optane drives with ScyllaDB, highlighting their potential to improve compaction performance and lower total cost of ownership compared to traditional SSDs. The discussion also addressed the market dynamics of new technologies and their adoption in enterprise settings. ScyllaDB Summit, held in San Francisco, offers additional technical talks and workshops to help attendees maximize their ScyllaDB clusters.
