Optane DIMMs have lower latency and higher bandwidth than storage devices connected over PCIe (including Optane SSDs), and present a memory address-based interface as opposed to a block-based NVMe interface. The physical media is accessed in chunks of 256 bytes (an XPLine). Optane DIMMs are here!

With this in mind, I set about my research: I needed a high-quality speaker that would work well with streamed media, but that wouldn’t be overkill. If I go down this path, I’ll need to start considering many other things such as storage, backups, compatible media players, and maybe even dedicated hardware.

In AWS’ quest to enable the best data storage options for engineers, we have built several innovative database solutions like Amazon RDS, Amazon RDS for Aurora, Amazon DynamoDB, and Amazon Redshift. However, the data infrastructure to collect, store and process data is geared toward developers (e.g.,

Some opinions claim that “Benchmarks are meaningless”, “benchmarks are irrelevant” or “benchmarks are nothing like your real applications” However for others “Benchmarks matter,” as they “account for the processing architecture and speed, memory, storage subsystems and the database engine.”

AWS is enabling innovations in areas such as healthcare, automotive, life sciences, retail, media, energy, robotics that it is mind boggling and humbling. In the past analytics within an organization was the pinnacle of old style IT: a centralized data warehouse running on specialized hardware. Cloud enables self-service analytics.

These nodes and edges require a good amount of compute and storage which is typically distributed across a large number servers either running in the cloud or your own data center. A data pipeline is a software which runs on hardware. The software is error-prone and hardware failures are inevitable.

It is limited by the disk space; it can’t expand storage elastically; it chokes if you run few I/O intensive processes or try collaborating with 100 other users. Over time, costs for S3 and GCS became reasonable and with Egnyte’s storage plugin architecture, our customers can now bring in any storage backend of their choice.
