Whitepaper: Memory Virtualization for the Data Center

RNA networks’ Memory Virtualization solutions dramatically change the price/performance model of the data center by bringing the performance benefits of resource virtualization while reducing infrastructure costs.

Virtualized memory is memory that has been logically decoupled from local physical machines and made available to any connected computer as a global network resource. CIOs and IT managers agree that memory is emerging as a critical resource constraint in the data center for both economic and operational reasons. Large memory deployments are expensive and are not a shareable resource across the network. In fact, new servers are often purchased to increase memory capacity, rather than to add compute power. While storage capacity and CPU performance have advanced geometrically over time, memory density and storage performance have not kept pace. Data center architects refresh servers every few years, over-provision memory and storage, and are forced to bear the costs of the associated space, power and management overhead. The result of this inefficiency has been high data center costs with marginal performance improvement.
