Abstract
Persistent Memory exists today in the form of NVDIMM-N and with initial release of Intel Optane Persistent Memory. The market is expected to grow to a multi-billion dollar market over the next few years but how will this happen? What are the best technologies for cost, speed, capacity? What will NVDIMM-P looks like, what will the memories be, and what will they cost. How will people challenge the incumbents and win in this growing market. What is needed in the next five years to achieve the lofty predictions we have seen?
