Intel Chip Chat

In this livecast from the Intel Developer Forum (IDF) in San Francisco Ravi Varanasi, General Manager of Cloud Security Solutions at Intel stops by to talk about how Intel is enabling a hardware root of trust to fortify data center security. He describes how Intel® Cloud Integrity Technology (CIT) uses Intel® Trusted Execution Technology (TXT) and Intel® Trusted Platform Module (TPM) to perform integrity checks that form a chain of trust that runs from system boot, all the way to the VMs & the workloads that run on the platform. Ravi also mentions the Data Security Appliance (DSA) which provides data deduplication, compression and encryption while allowing the enterprise to retain control and ownership over their data.

In this livecast from the Intel Developer Forum (IDF) in San Francisco Bryce Olson, Director of Marketing for the Health and Life Sciences Group at Intel stops by to discuss the IDF announcement of a precision medicine analytics platform called the Collaborative Cancer Cloud that allows institutions to share patient genomic data for potentially lifesaving discoveries. He emphasizes how this platform will empower researchers and doctors to help patients receive a diagnosis based on their individual genome and proceed to a targeted treatment plan. Bryce describes how it is the Collaborative Cancer Cloud goal to enable this genomic mapping and diagnosis to happen within a matter of 24 hours by the year 2020. He outlines how precision medicine has personally helped him in his battle against cancer and hopes that the work Intel is doing to drive targeted precision medicine will enable researchers and doctors to help more people across the world.

In this livecast from the Intel Developer Forum (IDF) in San Francisco Lynn Comp, Director of the Market Development Organization for the Network Platforms Group at Intel, stops by to chat about how exciting it is to be on the cutting edge of the network transformation. She discusses how the new Intel® Network Builders Fast Track program will accelerate network innovation and interoperability through solutions blueprints publications, performance optimizations, Intel® Network Builders University classes, and multi-party interoperability testing. Lynn talks about how there has been a shift of focus from defining software defined infrastructure within the enterprise to optimization within the entire stack and how many service providers are exploring implementing one platform, like OpenStack, that can run all of their workloads.

In this livecast from the Intel Developer Forum (IDF) in San Francisco Bev Crair, Vice President and General Manager of the Storage Group at Intel and Bill Moore, President of DSSD at EMC stop by to chat about how 3D XPoint™ and the recently announced Intel® Optane™ technology are driving a transformation in the memory and storage landscape today. Bill highlights how 3D XPoint will help enable the design of entirely new storage systems that haven’t been possible before. Bev emphasizes how exciting it is that these breakthroughs in technology will allow us to solve completely new problems like sequencing a genome in a fraction of the time it takes today. She explains how these breakthroughs will drive advances in data analytics and potentially save many lives as we move into the future.

In this livecast from the Intel Developer Forum (IDF) in San Francisco, Dr. Genevieve Bell Intel Fellow and VP stops by to talk about the maker movement and how in the last 15 years there has been a resurgence in the physical maker movement linked closely with virtual and digital innovation. She explains how Intel is deeply engaged with the maker movement and how Intel can actually trace its beginnings back to the maker movement. Genevieve also emphasizes how wonderful it is to see such a wide range of diversity within the speakers and attendees at the Intel Developer Forum and how diversity helps to make Intel a better company, a more interesting place to work, and suggests incredible possibility.

In this livecast from the Intel Developer Forum (IDF) in San Francisco PK Gupta, Director of Cloud Platform Technology at Intel stops by to chat about how his team is working to integrate FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) into Intel® Xeon® processors. He explains that integrated FPGAs can greatly improve performance for targeted workloads and are able to be programmed on the fly which enables them to target a wide array of workloads in the data center. PK talks about how Intel has created a Hardware Accelerator Research Program that is making integrated FPGA + Xeon software development platforms available to the academic and researching community. He outlines how this program will help spur research in FPGA programming research and development of innovative applications for accelerator-based computing systems.

In this livecast from the Intel Developer Forum (IDF) in San Francisco Mike Ferron Jones, Director of Datacenter Platform Technology Marketing and Greg Matson, Director of SSD Strategic Planning and Product Marketing at Intel discuss the announcement of Intel® Optane™ technology based on Intel’s new 3D XPoint™ technology. They outlined how 3D XPoint technology is an entirely new class of nonvolatile memory that will revolutionize storage enabling high-speed, high-capacity data storage close to the processor. This technology will be made available as SSDs (solid state drives) called Intel Optane technology, as well as in a DIMM (dual in-line memory module) form factor which will open up new possibilities of types of workloads and applications that you can accelerate or take to whole new levels of big memory applications. Greg emphasizes that Intel will be making Optane SSDs available for servers, enthusiast clients, and laptops within 2016.
