Management Engine (ME)
The Management Engine, which is an ARC controller embedded in the IOH (I/O Hub), provides
Server Platform Services (SPS) to your system. The services provided by SPS are different
from those provided by the ME on client platforms.
Intel® QuickAssist Technology
Built upon Intel's cutting-edge processor technology and the Intel C627 chipset, the X11DSF-E
supports Intel® QuickAssist Technology (Intel QAT), which offers high-profile security and
compression acceleration to standard server platforms in a software-defined infrastructure.
By eliminating unneeded roadblocks, Intel QAT accelerates computation-intensive operations;
provides a software-enabled foundation for security, authentication and compression; and
significantly increases performance and efficiency across applications and platforms, including
cryptography, symmetric encryption and authentication, asymmetric encryption, digital signature,
pattern matching, and lossless data compression.
With Intel QuickAssist Technology built in, the X11DSF-E is optimized for the use and
deployment of integrated accelerators in networking and security applications, and efficiently
meets the complex demands of High-Performance Computing (HPC), Virtualization, storage,
and big data platforms.
1.8 Intel® Optane DC Persistent Memory Overview
2nd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable-SP processors support new DCPMM (Optane™ DC
Persistent Memory Modules) technology that offers data persistence with higher capacity than
existing memory modules and lower latency than NVMe SSDs. DCPMM memory provides
hyper-speed storage capability for high performance computing platforms with flexible
configuration options.
