Intel’s new Optane DC persistent memory offers a cost-effective and high-capacity alternative to traditional RAM, providing a 25% average performance reduction compared to using only traditional RAM, while being much less expensive than traditional RAM. The new technology can be used in memory mode, where the total Optane capacity acts as addressable RAM capacity, allowing servers to support larger rowstore tables with significant cost savings and easier management. This is especially beneficial for SingleStore customers running large rowstore tables, enabling them to upgrade their effective RAM capacity much further and make projects with 10TB or more of data feasible. The technology also has potential applications in other workloads that use rowstore tables in SingleStore, but its benefits may vary depending on specific use cases.
