Consumers too, have a reason to be excited about the proliferation of this technology. Improved responsiveness of enterprise applications can be easily translated into better user experiences and savings on the customer-end.

Get Excited!

As an avid consumer of fashion and dubbed the official shopper of my household, Memory Accelerated FlexPod would have an immense effect on my purchasing experience. We buy things on the daily basis, whether it’s groceries, clothes, or household items. Nowadays an increasingly larger proportion of our purchases are online. Some of my friends go so far as to never step out of the house. When I ask why, they respond, “why bother if you can order everything online?” Fair argument.

With brick-and-mortar stores dying out due to the rise of online shopping, businesses need a continuous online presence without exception. Think about a time when you abandoned your cart because of website problems. You clicked on the 50% off storewide banner, arrived at the company website, spent a whole hour filling out your cart, clicked continue to checkout, and the website fails or lags due to the volume of data. For a customer, this is a huge turn off. For the company, this could cause significant revenue loss.

What is Memory Accelerated FlexPod?

MAX Data is an application acceleration software that allows businesses to fully take advantage of the revolutionary low latency of Intel Optane DCPMM, without rewriting the application code. Of course, we can’t claim this fact…unless there’s proof. We recently ran some tests running MAX Data on FlexPod (Memory Accelerated FlexPod) and these are the results we got:

Memory Accelerated FlexPod is capable of 5 times more I/O operations with 25 times less latency. Simply speaking, this means no more lagging websites when trying to make an online purchase on Black Friday. With the proof in the pudding, there’s no reason why you wouldn’t get this new software.
