Radically Lower Computing Costs

As data demands grow and memory-intensive applications proliferate, businesses must find new ways to improve resource efficiency, optimize performance, and reduce costs. MEXT predictive memory is a cutting-edge, software-only solution that leverages AI to dynamically optimize memory page allocation across different price / performance tiers (DRAM and Flash). Here’s what MEXT can do for your IT environment. 

1. Reduce Operational Costs by 40%

One of the largest IT spend areas is on server memory (DRAM). As the price of DRAM continues to rise, businesses need solutions that can reduce the disproportionate dependency on this premium memory tier without compromising on application performance.

MEXT enables workloads to run performantly using far less DRAM—translating to up to 40% lower operational costs. MEXT works by continually analyzing which memory pages in DRAM are “hot” (frequently accessed) and which are “cold” (rarely accessed). It then offloads the cold pages to a slower, more cost-effective tier (Flash). MEXT’s AI engine then predicts which memory pages from Flash are likely to be requested soon by the application, and preemptively pushes those pages back to DRAM—maintaining application performance within a smaller DRAM footprint.

MEXT runs on-premises or in the cloud and requires no hardware or software changes, so customers don’t incur any additional costs when it comes to implementation. Installation is a simple 10-minute process. 

2. Double Memory Capacity for Better Application Performance

Because MEXT lets Flash effectively operate as though it were DRAM-speed memory, most applications can easily access up to DOUBLE the memory capacity just by adding more Flash into the system, which represents a very low incremental cost. This leads to superior performance for memory-hungry applications, within basically the same cost profile. 

3. Get an "Insurance Policy"

In some business environments, memory is appropriately sized to fit the needs of the workload, and everthing is generally running smoothly. However, there may be certain time periods where memory demands suddenly spike, the job runs out of memory, and the system crashes. In these situations, MEXT can be implemented as a kind of "insurance policy" that ensures that the system never goes down; during memory demand spikes, the system would just go out to Flash-as-memory to deal with the overage, while operating out of DRAM for the remainder of the time. 

4. Support Sustainability Goals

Energy efficiency is a growing concern for businesses looking to reduce their carbon footprint. Traditional memory systems can be energy-intensive, as they often keep all allocated memory powered and ready for use, regardless of actual demand. MEXT predictive memory addresses this by intelligently managing memory resources, enabling businesses to leverage less total DRAM. This results in reduced overall energy consumption and aligns well with sustainability goals.

Transforming Computing Efficiency

By optimizing memory utilization, reducing costs, and improving performance, MEXT empowers organizations to meet the demands of an increasingly data-driven world. Adopting MEXT is not just a technical decision—it’s a strategic driver of business efficiency and competitiveness. If your organization is looking to transform your approach to memory management, MEXT might just be the game-changer you need.
