Product brief
Intel® Optane™ SSD DC D4800X
Data Center (DC), Dual Port (D)
High Availability
Meets High Performance
First Intel® Optane™ technology-based high availability dual port drive oering
greater resiliency for enterprise storage solutions
High availability and performance are crucial for enterprise storage architectures
providing mission-critical applications, such as online transaction processing for
nancial services. The Intel® Optane™ SSD DC D4800X with its unique combination
of dual port PCIe NVMe, consistent low latency and high random read/write
performance, delivers the performance and capabilities required for enterprise-class
storage arrays.
The SSD DC D4800X provides dual port redundancy for maximum data availability
during system upgrades or a failover event, enabling enterprise class capabilities and
serviceability in high availability storage systems.
Intel® Optane™ SSDs Break Through NAND Bottlenecks
Intel® Optane™ technology provides industry-leading capabilities of breakthrough
performance, predictably fast service, responsiveness under load and high
endurance.
The rst Intel Optane technology-based dual port drive can break the NAND
bottleneck to help deliver higher service levels to mission-critical applications and
reduce transaction costs for latency sensitive workloads. Combining breakthrough
performance with data path redundancy enables enterprise storage array providers to
design solutions capable of:
• Extremely consistent and fast response times even in the presence of increasing
write pressure
• High performance at low queue depths commonly found in enterprise work loads
• Predictably fast service—faster than NAND SSDs
• Supporting write intensive workloads common in areas such as OLTP and HPC with
high endurance
The Intel® Optane™ SSD DC D4800X oers:
• 24x7 data availability with redundant paths and hot-plug capability for
continued data access in the event of a failure
• High performance, low latency data placed on Intel® Optane™ SSDs to
accelerate data delivery and amplify system performance of capacity NAND
SSDs
• Capability to scale service levels and performance far beyond traditional
NAND-based platforms as needed, while balancing overall design costs
