Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory provides flexibility in how this solution allows users and systems designers to expand memory in the most optimal manner. Optimizations can be based on the application requirements and the characteristics of performance, capacity, persistency, and costs. For example, persistent memory modules, in combination with standard DIMMs, can be deployed as volatile memory of much larger and more affordable capacity with no code modification required. Alternatively, applications can be programmed to leverage memory persistence and achieve faster insights from data.
