Abstract
Intel Optane Persistent Memory is an innovative memory technology that redefines traditional architectures, delivering a unique combination of affordable large capacity and support for data persistence. It has the speed characteristics of memory, but it retains data through power cycles. Intel Optane Persistent Memory Modules (PMem modules) are available on Lenovo® ThinkSystem™ servers and currently come in capacities of 128 GB, 256 GB, and 512 GB.
This paper describes how to configure and use persistent memory with different operation modes in VMware vSphere on Lenovo ThinkSystem servers. This document is intended for technical specialists, and IT administrators who are familiar with persistent memory and vSphere products.
