Arvind Jagannath, a platform product manager at Broadcom, discusses memory tiering and its benefits for customers with Duncan. He explains that enterprise applications are becoming more memory-bound and require better performance. Memory tiering helps address the CPU to memory imbalance that many customers face, allowing for better CPU utilization and reducing costs. Arvind also mentions the challenges of expanding memory and the need for a solution like memory tiering. He introduces Project Capitola, which has evolved into NVMe-based memory tiering, and discusses the benefits and recommendations for using NVMe devices. Arvind also touches on the integration of memory tiering with advanced vSphere features like DRS and HA, and hints at future developments with Project Peaberry and CXL.
