Christine McMonigal, Director of Hyperconverged Infrastructure at Intel, joins Chip Chat at the Microsoft Ignite 2018 conference to talk about what\u2019s new from Microsoft and Intel.\n\nThe two companies have collaborated extensively on hyperconvergence. One result, announced at Ignite, is a refreshed version of Intel\xae Select Solutions for Windows Server* Software Defined Storage. It adds support for Microsoft\u2019s newly announced Windows Server 2019, which in turn supports Intel\xae Optane\u2122 DC persistent memory.\n\nIntel 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.\n\nTo support Storage Spaces Direct, one of Windows Server 2019\u2019s 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.\n\nMcMonigal gives us a look at what\u2019s ahead, with Intel Optane DC persistent memory being used as a high-speed cache in hyperconverged solutions, to name just one exciting application.\n \nFor more information about Intel Select Solutions for Windows for Server Software Defined Storage, go to intel.com/selectsolutions.\n\nFor more about how Intel and Microsoft are partnering to accelerate business transformation, visit intel.com/microsoftdatacenter.\n\n\nSoftware 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. \xa7 For more information go to www.intel.com/benchmarks.\n\nPerformance results are based on testing as of 9/30/18 and may not reflect all publicly available security updates.
