Support of a non-volatile memory Intel Optane of DC allows, according to the producer, to considerably increase processing speed data in order that applications could take quicker practical information even from data bulks.
In the PRIMERGY and PRIMEQUEST servers the developments created by Fujitsu within the NEXTGenIO project which is included into the research program of the European Union Horizon 2020 are used. Fujitsu began to use in the servers a non-volatile memory of Intel Optane DC for prevention of emergence of the bottlenecks connected with lower speed of a read and write of data in memory (so-called speed of input-output operations) in comparison with higher data processing rate. As a result of implementation of this project Fujitsu could integrate into the PRIMERGY and PRIMEQUEST servers based on architecture of x86 technology of a non-volatile memory and increase the speed of input-output operations.
Fujitsu provided the PRIMERGY M5 servers and also PRIMEQUEST in which the high-performance non-volatile memory of NVRAM is used. This technology allows to place data much closer to processors that reduces data transfer time between the processor and a storage system. Reduction of a delay time increases the processing speed of crucial workloads, both for cloud services, and for local databases, claim in Fujitsu.
According to Fujitsu, performance improvement of the provided systems was confirmed with results of the independent reference test. The PRIMERGY RX2540 M5 server set two records in the VMware VMmark test which measures the work speed, scalability and energy consumption of virtualization platforms. The PRIMERGY RX4770 M5 system showed good result (9.1 billion records) in the SAP HANA Standard Application Benchmark test of version 3 for SAP Business Warehouse. Within the test in RX4770 M5 system modules of a non-volatile memory of Intel Optane DC were installed. Modules of memory of DCPMM not only provide the high speed of work, but also allow to increase storage capacity by 3 times and to considerably reduce time of restart of databases. What, according to Fujitsu, shows opportunities for creation of databases with information processing in RAM and new configurations of computing systems. In addition, the PRIMERGY RX4770 M5 and PRIMERGY RX2540 M5 servers set records in SPECjbb2015 test which estimates performance and scalability of systems at start of Java applications.
According to the statement of the producer, the non-volatile memory will allow servers of the PRIMERGY M5 series and the second generation of the PRIMEQUEST servers of series 3000 to support more simultaneous users more virtual machines on one system. Thus, the companies using these servers will be able to scale more quickly applications within virtual infrastructures, providing more services to bigger number of customers, at the same time, increasing quality of the services.
