James Myers, Director of Data Center Storage Solutions Architecture at Intel, joins us on this week’s Conversations in the Cloud to discuss Intel® Optane™ SSD and Intel Select Solutions.

James takes a deep dive into the Intel Optane technology and how it revolutionizes performance for demanding storage workloads. He discusses the importance of balanced architecture and bottle neck prevention for resilient enterprise systems. Many Intel Select Solutions leverage Optane SSD to keep workloads responsive with low latency and fast caching. James is passionate about Select Solutions because the solution benchmarks are designed to deliver proven, real-world value. Select’s validation process includes testing hardware like Optane so it’s optimized for data centers out-of-the-box.

Mileidy Giraldo, Ph.D., Global Lead, Genomics R&D at Lenovo HPC & AI, joins Conversations in the Cloud to discuss the future of genomics-based precision medicine and Lenovo’s new Genomics Analytics solution. Genomics analytics are increasingly the first step for life sciences studies, but long execution times of complex workflows limit their large scale implementation. Mileidy discusses how Lenovo and Intel’s work is helping researchers deliver faster time to scientific insights and flexibility to scale. Lenovo’s Genomics Optimization and Scalability Tool (GOAST) is built on the foundation of Intel Select Solutions for Genomics Analytics and expands its features to enable precision medicine at the population scale. The computing and storage capacities of the solution help researchers accelerate genomics at the population level – which is having a huge impact on timely deployment of translational and precision medicine initiatives worldwide.

Sven Freudenfeld, Chief Technology Officer, Telecom Application Business Unit at Lanner joins Intel® Chip Chat Network Insights to discuss new white boxes for uCPE and the continued roll out and growth of SD-WAN. 

Defining the Edge is not always obvious. Creating the right edge architecture for compute, networking and storage are the foundation to a successful 5G launch.

In this interview, Sven considers next steps in the network development to sustain the network and computing demand with low latency requirements and disaggregated systems.

Lanner is an Intel® Select Solutions partner, with the following products: Lanner uCPE NCA-4020 which was made commercially available in 2018; Lanner NCA-6210, now a Certified Intel® Select Solution for Visual Cloud Delivery Network (CDN) to Accelerate Next-Gen CDN Deployments, launched in September 2019). 

Sven describes how Multi-Access Edge Computing, a key focus for Lanner, combines storage and networking which demands improved scalability and multi-access for edge devices.

Lanner recently launched MEC solution developed in collaboration with Noviflow, Fortinet, as well as Intel's Barefoot Networks. Optimized for simple, scalable, and secure services at the network edge, the Lanner HybridTCA™ Series is the white-box MEC hardware platform that aggregates up to (12) 2nd generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors, with two high-speed P4-programmable Barefoot Tofino switching ASICs, and massive storage with support for precision time protocol (PTP), as an all-in-one modular appliance.
