Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE:HPE) today announced the launch of
an incubation practice with specialized skills for solving big data
problems through Memory-Driven Computing, leveraging the expertise
of Hewlett Packard Labs and HPE Pointnext. Through HPE Pointnext
advisory and professional services capabilities, the company will
work with leading-edge customers to explore Memory-Driven Computing
applications and deliver proofs-of-concept that will demonstrate
dramatic performance gains never before possible.
Designed to dramatically improve performance and efficiency and
unleash a new era of intellectual discovery and business
opportunities, Memory-Driven Computing is a new computing
architecture that puts memory, not processing, at the center of the
computing platform. Hewlett Packard Labs is developing the
breakthrough technology innovations needed to enable Memory-Driven
Computing as part of The Machine research project. Using the new
architecture, organizations will be able to process vast amounts of
data significantly faster and reduce the time to extract insight,
from days to hours, hours to minutes, minutes to seconds,
ultimately delivering real-time intelligence.
“We believe that all data is valuable. Our vision for
Memory-Driven Computing is to enable customers to capture, keep and
refine every last bit of their data, up to 10,000 times faster than
yesterday’s solutions,” said Beena Ammanath, global vice president,
Artificial Intelligence, Data and Innovation, HPE. “The
introduction of HPE Pointnext capabilities for Memory-Driven
Computing will accelerate our ability to bring Memory-Driven
Computing technologies to our customers and help them solve some of
their most complex problems and more quickly than ever before.”
HPE Pointnext has a team of emerging technology and AI experts
already working hand-in-hand with its first commercial customer
beginning the journey to Memory-Driven Computing, Travelport – a
commerce platform that provides distribution, technology, payment
and other solutions for the $7 trillion global travel industry.
Speed and accuracy are essential to delivering the right travel
experience, and today’s travelers expect the best answers
instantly. Partnering with HPE, Travelport has built out a
large-scale compute capability, internally referred to as the “wall
of compute,” which has been able to keep pace with the
ever-increasing demand of online travel searches. The volume of
shopping requests continues to double every 18 months and will
reach an average of three shopping requests per month per person on
the globe by 2020. Today, that already translates to moving over
125 terabytes of data in and out of its data centers each day.
In April 2018, Travelport began the first commercial
Memory-Driven Computing engagement, installing an HPE Superdome
Flex in-memory computing system and leveraging HPE’s expertise to
rearchitect key Travelport algorithms using Memory-Driven Computing
programming techniques.
HPE Pointnext is providing guidance to Travelport around IT
deployment strategy, sharing expertise and learnings from previous
proofs-of-concept to improve their ability to program applications
for Memory-Driven Computing environments. Additionally, HPE experts
are helping Travelport and future customers identify a performance
baseline for infrastructure upgrades, drive cost-benefit analyses
for the transformation journey and port, tune, re-architect and
refactor applications for Memory-Driven Computing.
“Travelport handles incredibly huge data sets and demanding
workloads. A Memory-Driven Computing approach will help Travelport
quickly uncover insights in those data sets, as well as realize
performance gains never before possible,” said Randy Meyer, vice
president and general manager, Compute Solutions, HPE. “Working
closely with HPE, Travelport will be able to test new technologies
as they become available and remain at the forefront of in-memory
computing advancements and by extension, the travel industry.”
As HPE Pointnext continues to work with customers on
Memory-Driven Computing solutions, the team will unveil additional
innovations and offerings for Memory-Driven Computing adoption,
beginning with rapid assessments and proof-of-value services next
year.
Accessing Memory-Driven Computing, TodayThrough
a collaboration between HPE Pointnext, Hewlett Packard Labs and
HPE’s own Global IT organization, HPE is introducing a
Memory-Driven Computing operating and development environment for
customers and developers around the world.
The Memory-Driven Computing Sandbox will feature HPE Superdome
Flex with Software-Defined Scalable Memory, a new system
enhancement under development and key technology output of The
Machine research project. Software-Defined Scalable Memory includes
new software and firmware advances that enable the industry-leading
Superdome Flex memory fabric to address significantly larger pools
of shared memory than previously possible. The technology provides
the ability to compose memory on the fabric and offers the ability
to scale to 96 terabytes, all while offering faster and more
resilient performance.
“In the Memory-Driven Computing Sandbox, our customers’
developer teams will be able to experiment right along with the
Hewlett Packard Labs team,” said Kirk Bresniker, VP, HPE Fellow and
chief architect for Memory-Driven Computing. “First with DZNE and
now with Travelport, we have seen how quickly innovation is sparked
when Memory-Driven Computing technologies get into developers’
hands, and their work helps inspire and shape our research agenda.
This program will support rapid testing for customers and will
provide early access to emerging technologies, directly from the
Labs, before broad commercial availability. It’s a 21st
century mash up between Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard’s edict to
‘design for the engineer on the next bench’ and today’s agile
development methodologies.”
As part of its strategy to commercialize innovations from The
Machine research project, HPE will look for opportunities to bring
select benefits of Memory-Driven Computing—like Software-Defined
Scalable Memory—to customers faster.
Under The Machine research project, HPE is advancing toward a
single architecture to manage a customer’s entire enterprise, from
every edge to any cloud. Through this work, HPE aims to one day
power a mesh of precision systems specific to individual
workloads—from distributed systems that sit at the edge to
mission-critical systems at the core of its customer’s
operations—all connected through a secure common operating
platform.
