In this episode of Conversations in the Cloud, Jacob Smith, SVP of engagement and Co-founder of Packet, joins us to discuss the promise of the cloud delivered on bare metal. Jacob and his brother founded Packet in 2014, with the intention of automating fundamental infrastructure. Jacob talks about Packet’s new collaboration with Intel to accelerate adoption of Intel® Optane™ SSDs as a data center fast storage and memory solution. Packet will provide on-demand access to the Intel® Xeon® Scalable platform with large format Intel® Optane™ technology at no cost. This will provide an easy way for open source and commercial software projects to benchmark and optimize this cutting edge technology, and unleash new innovations.
