Christine McMonigal, Director of Hyperconverged Infrastructure at Intel, joins Chip Chat at the Microsoft Ignite 2018 conference to talk about what’s new from Microsoft and Intel.
The two companies have collaborated extensively on hyperconvergence. One result, announced at Ignite, is a refreshed version of Intel® Select Solutions for Windows Server* Software Defined Storage. It adds support for Microsoft’s newly announced Windows Server 2019, which in turn supports Intel® Optane™ DC persistent memory.
Intel is working with many industry partners, including Microsoft, to create what it calls Intel Select Solutions, full stack solutions optimized and benchmarked for verified performance. The aim is to bring more data centers into hyperconverged environments more readily.
To support Storage Spaces Direct, one of Windows Server 2019’s new features, Intel just released two configurations to the market as reference designs. The Base configuration can support a wide range of workloads while the Plus configuration is optimized for more latency-sensitive workloads like databases and analytics.
McMonigal gives us a look at what’s ahead, with Intel Optane DC persistent memory being used as a high-speed cache in hyperconverged solutions, to name just one exciting application.

Software and workloads used in performance tests may have been optimized for performance only on Intel microprocessors. Performance tests, such as SYSmark and MobileMark, are measured using specific computer systems, components, software, operations and functions. Any change to any of those factors may cause the results to vary. You should consult other information and performance tests to assist you in fully evaluating your contemplated purchases, including the performance of that product when combined with other products. § For more information go to www.intel.com/benchmarks.
Performance results are based on testing as of 9/30/18 and may not reflect all publicly available security updates. See configuration disclosure for details. No product can be absolutely secure.
Intel technologies’ features and benefits depend on system configuration and may require enabled hardware, software or service activation. Performance varies depending on system configuration. Check with your system manufacturer or retailer or learn more at https://intel.com/.
