2024 OCP Global Summit – Tue, October 15, 4:20pm – 4:40pm | SJCC – Lower Level – LL20A – Presenting “VMware Memory Vision for Real World Applications” – Memory Fabric Forum – Arvind Jagannath – Lead Platform Product Manager, VMware by Broadcom and Sudhir Balasubramanian, Consultant, TechBridge BCA Consulting

VMware has been on an evolving journey on memory innovations mainly first with persistent memory, then with memory tiering, and is now extending that with CXL. CXL provides an opportunity for VMware (by Broadcom) to further improve on performance, and provide further customer benefits such as TCO reduction, server consolidation, and even disaggregation, with increased capacity and bandwidth to run workloads like Mission critical databases, AI/ML and analytics. Use of accelerators increases the number of use-cases that can be supported with a larger variety of workloads with minimum configuration changes. This session aims to provide real-world application examples using memory tiering.

CXL is mostly talked about in the memory expansion use-case context. However, VMware and Samsung are working together to bring unique value propositions by enabling newer use-cases beyond just memory. A CXL Type-2 accelerator-based solution using a custom hardware-software co-design has the potential to leverage more of the CXL capabilities such as to improve CapEx by reducing TCO, or provide dynamic memory usage and better workload migration performance and thus improving OpEx. We will also describe advantages provided by such an approach and cover real application benchmarks.

Spain Oracle User Group (SPOUG) Academy Feb. 6, 2023, 8-9am PST – Providing Capacity, Performance & Cost to Oracle Workloads using VMware Software Memory Tiering – Presented with Arvind Jagannath, VMware

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. Finally, we will walk you through tech previews showing value of VMware Software Memory Tiering with some real world mission critical Oracle workloads use cases

-High level overview of VMware Software Memory Tiering
-High level overview of Oracle 21c Persistent Memory Filestore using VMware Software Memory Tiering
-How we can address capacity and cost challenges for Oracle Workloads using VMware Software Memory Tiering

VMUG US, Dec 6, 2022 , 3:30 – 4:00 PM CT – How Does Memory Tiering Lower Memory Cost and Improve Efficiency? – Presenting with John Hubbard, Intel & Arvind Jagannath, VMware

Rapidly changing world dynamics and exponential data growth have increased demand for IT services. During a period of unprecedented economic uncertainty, IT organizations are deploying more infrastructure but within limited budgets. Intel and VMware are addressing this IT paradox. Architectural approaches like memory tiering can increase memory capacity and help reduce TCO. Customers modernizing their data center with VMware Cloud Foundation, VMware Tanzu, VMware vSphere and VMware vSAN on Intel Optane technology are experiencing these benefits. Hear how VMware and Intel have partnered to make infrastructure ownership and management more efficient with memory tiering and monitoring.
