Because SQL Server 2019 can take advantage of Intel Optane PMem, we built a SQL Server database solution using this new technology and compared it to a similar deployment running on PCIe NVMe SSDs.
We tested two use cases that are based on the Intel Optane PMem configuration using App Direct Mode and Memory Mode.
