Compute is by far still the largest part of the hardware budget at most IT organizations, and even with the advance of technology, which allows more compute, memory, storage, and I/O to be crammed into a server node, we still seem to always want more. But with a tighter coupling of flash in systems and new memories coming to market like #3DXPoint, the server is set to become a more complex bit of machinery.
To try to figure out what is going on out there with memory on systems in the real world and how future technologies might affect how servers are configured, The Next Platform sat down with two experts from Micron Technology to talk about how systems are evolving today and what they might look like in the future given all of these changes.
Steve Pawlowski, vice president of advanced computing solutions at Micron and formerly the chief technology officer of Intel’s Data Center Group, helped develop the processor maker’s initial server platforms (including their main and cache memory subsystems) and also helped drive the PCI-Express and USB peripheral standards, among many other things. Brad Spiers, principal solutions architect for advanced storage at Micron, sat in on the chat with us, too. Spiers spent more than two decades architecting distributed platforms for Swiss Bank, Morgan Stanley, and Bank of America before joining Micron last July. Pawlowski left Intel after three decades, joining Micron in July 2014.
