VMware Solutions with Intel® Optane™ Technology
For data center architects supporting digital transformation strategies, VMware solutions running on Intel® Optane™ technology enable consistent, high-performance application experiences. The combined solutions help reduce data center-modernization costs while increasing business agility.1 2
Intel® Optane™ technology enhances the value of VMware solutions for digital transformation. From server virtualization to HCI to hybrid cloud architectures, organizations that run VMware vSphere, VMware vSAN, VMware Cloud Foundation, or VMware Horizon with Intel® Optane™ technology can enjoy:
- Reduced capital and operating expenses (CapEx and OpEx) for data center modernization.
- Support for more remote users, faster database transactions, and better user collaboration.
- Increased agility to quickly respond to new infrastructure needs.
VMware vSphere 7.0.U3
Intel® Optane™ technology and vSphere 7.0.U3 greatly expands the recommended persistent memory list and allows for more ratios which are optimized for cost and scale.
vSphere Memory Monitoring & Remediation (VMMR)
Intel® Optane™ technology and vSphere 7.0.U3 Memory Monitoring and Remediation provides the insights needed to better manage the host in memory mode.

Reduce Data Center Modernization Costs
VMware solutions with Intel® Optane™ technology reduce capital and operational expenses by doing more with less: run more virtual machines (VMs) across fewer server nodes, set up more VDI users on the same infrastructure, and use HCI management tools to reduce “day two” costs.
- Consolidate nodes by increasing VM density. Combining 3rd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors with Intel® Optane™ SSD P5800X storage enables more vSAN VMs per host.
- Lower costs per VM. Lower costs per VM on VMware vSAN by up to 25 percent while delivering the same performance when deploying 3rd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors with Intel® Optane™ persistent memory 200 series versus DRAM.3

Deploy a High-Performance Hybrid Cloud with VMware and Intel® Optane™ Technology
VMware solutions with Intel® Optane™ technology deliver consistent operational experience, run applications anywhere, and enable high performance of business-critical workloads like VMware Horizon VDI.
- Enable consistency. VMware Cloud Foundation built on Intel® Optane™ technology delivers a common platform for private and public clouds, enabling a consistent operational experience and freedom to run applications anywhere.
- Run applications anywhere. VMware vSphere tools and processes provide the freedom to run applications anywhere without the complexity of application rewriting.
- Increase throughput. Intel® Optane™ persistent memory 200 series provides larger capacity memory that increases VM throughput because less data needs to be swapped in and out of memory.4

Service the Needs of Today and Support the Growth of Tomorrow with VMware Solutions and Intel® Optane™ Technology
Bring cloud agility on-premises, streamline development, and meet green energy goals.
- Agile infrastructure creates a business advantage. VMware vSphere, vSAN, and VMware Cloud Foundation use Intel® Optane™ technology to offer more agile HCI Unique infrastructure building blocks. Intel® Optane™ technology is built on a unique architecture that allows memory cells to be individually addressed in a dense, transistor-less, stackable design. This innovative technology establishes new tiers in memory and storage, creating an agile architecture ideal for optimizing HCI.
- Support new workloads. Running Intel® Optane™ technology, VMware Cloud Foundation with VMware Tanzu provides frictionless access to services, code, and tools so that developers can productively create VM-based and container-based applications.
