private cloud architected by Solidarity and HPE . HPE and Intel were testing a technology called Optane .” Optane is a memory module created to accelerate data access speeds . It provides a better computing experience for the front-end services allowing the applications to fetch the data faster , from calculation engines to web applications , this technology can be used anywhere in the organisation ’ s systems architecture . The technology uses 3D XPoint , a new type of memory technology that its manufacturers , Micron and Intel , claim is 1,000 times faster than traditional NAND flash . “ Our front-end setup “ Private Cloud ” enabled with the tech
has allowed us to do 329,000 IOPS per second across four virtual servers . The Optane setup has made this capacity possible ,” says Bakri . “ Optane will help us with configuring faster calculation engines , web applications , data access and anything that requires advanced caching facilities , this will allow us to serve our customers through web platforms faster than the competition . That ’ s what sets us apart .”
Bakri recognises the importance of change management and believes it is one of the most challenging aspects of any transformation programme . “ It ’ s one of the hardest things that we ’ ve done ,” admits Bakri . “ It ’ s all about
