Memory Virtualization

Introducing memory virtualization, the ONLY virtualization to accelerate the speed of business.

MVX Memory Cloud
Server memory is aggregated into a shareable Memory Cloud.

Regardless of the types of applications, choice of hardware or dozens of other factors that define a data center, there’s always one resource that consistently seems to be in short supply – memory. Many of the most common data center problems can be traced back to a memory challenge: either too little memory or, all too often, not having memory in the right place.

Through memory virtualization, RNA MVX takes on the memory challenge in two ways: it makes servers look bigger and storage go faster. The results: applications can immediately run faster on standard infrastructure with improvements of up to 25X. The more memory intensive, the more data required, the more memory virtualization can increase application performance. It’s that simple, delivering speed-ups that directly translate into the speed of business.

Memory virtualization is transparent.

MVX is a pure software solution that turns DRAM in existing servers into a shared, distributed resource – a memory cloud – that can be used wherever and whenever it’s needed across servers. This memory cloud can then be used to extend server memory, accelerate storage, or as ultra high-speed storage in the compute tier, all without any changes to existing applications. No changes to applications means that in minutes MVX can be installed, turned on, and immediately begin delivering acceleration.

Memory virtualization is flexible.

One resource – the memory cloud – can be used to tackle a wide range of application performance challenges, putting control back in the hands of application managers. This flexibility means applications are now less dependent on existing infrastructure to achieve performance goals. Application performance is less impacted by data center cost containment policies such as virtualize first or server size standardization. And memory resources can be quickly reconfigured to address changing workloads and business needs.

Memory virtualization is cost effective.

Overall costs to enable memory virtualization are a fraction of the expense of comparable special purpose acceleration via large-scale servers, additional storage build-out or specialized appliances and server add-ons. Beyond that, memory virtualization can often exceed the performance of alternative silo-based solutions. And because memory virtualization is based on completely standard components – servers, DRAM and server networking – investments in memory virtualization provide the absolute best long-term investment protection of any solution in the market.

Transparent, flexible, cost effective – RNA MVX is the only virtualization technology to give the power to accelerate applications back to IT applications managers. It’s the ONLY virtualization to accelerate the speed of business.
