Digital transformation is driving applications to process more data in memory and in real time. Lack of Infrastructure technologies to support such environments is pushing customers to either over-provision expensive hardware or deploy complex solutions. Enterprises and cloud providers are looking to provide more flexibility and improve efficiencies for their customers, all without requiring huge lift in costs, hardware infrastructure or applications. In this talk, we showcase VMware Software Memory Tiering including near term trends like CXL, PCIGen5, for memory disaggregation.

This Birds-of-a-Feather will provide an interactive followup to the Wednesday afternoon SDC presentation on addressing capacity and cost challenges for Oracle workloads using software memory tiering applications like those from VMware. We will discuss how CXL and PCIe can play a role, and talk about real world use cases in enterprise and cloud environments. Bring your questions and ideas!
