Large Affordable Server Memory for Public and Private Cloud

DRAM pricing remains the highest component cost in server economy. Even in public cloud, large memory instances cost in multiples more than smaller-memory systems. Further, DRAM scale is quite limited, to the 6TB range in on-premise deployments and even lower in cloud, which makes some workload impossible to run.

ScaleMP's MemoryONE is solving these problems with Software-defined Memory leveraging affordable NVM as system memory, transparently. Using MemoryONE, you can significantly reduce your cost by expanding memory beyond specification limits - to reduce the total number of servers for your application, or by replacing majority of the DRAM expense with NVM and software-defined Memory. MemoryONE is a drop-in replacement, with no change to the rest of the hardware and software stack, and the performance of MemoryONE is near-DRAM as shown by many benchmarks for cloud applications.

In this technical presentation, we will walk through the basics of Software-defined Memory, how it is implemented in MemoryONE, and also do a hands-on demo.
