Financial analytics workloads—from portfolio simulation and risk modeling to large-scale backtesting and scenario analysis—can consume enormous amounts of memory. When DRAM runs short, performance falls off a cliff. This leads most teams to overprovision and continually upgrade to larger-DRAM systems. Given DRAM's unprecedented costs, however, this strategy is no longer optimal. MEXT Predictive Memory™ makes flash effectively function as DRAM—instantly unlocking more memory capacity while circumventing the need to purchase more DRAM.
