MEXT is radically lowering the cost of computing with our AI-powered predictive memory technology. Server memory (DRAM) is one of the biggest cost components in the data center, but it’s common to find that over half of the provisioned memory isn’t actively utilized by applications and can be considered cold. MEXT solves this utilization issue by offloading cold memory to a 20x lower-cost location, Flash, and leveraging AI to mitigate the effects of Flash latency.

MEXT’s AI engine continually predicts which offloaded pages might by requested by the application, and transparently moves them back into DRAM before the requests are even made. As a result, the application stays performant because from its perspective, the relevant memory pages are already resident in DRAM. This empowers customers to run applications within a much smaller DRAM footprint—yielding substantially lower costs.

On the other end of the spectrum, there may be customers whose applications are running out of memory and suffering performance issues as a result. In the past, these customers would have to either procure a larger system or shard their data across multiple smaller systems. Either option is complex, time-consuming, and expensive. With MEXT, customers can cost-effectively create a large memory system in a matter of minutes.

MEXT is a patent-pending, software-only solution that works with any configuration: on-premises or in the cloud, with any processor, in virtualized / bare-metal / containerized environments, with no changes required to the operating system or applications.
