Software-Define Memory (SDM) is a converged memory and storage architecture that is dynamic, manageable, cost-effective, and adaptable, allowing faster response times, making it ideal to power In-Memory applications. This architecture decouples the management and allocation of storage from the data access path enabling the application to access memory as if it was storage and storage as if it was memory. This level of abstraction enables SDM to deliver enterprise data services transparently without impacting performance and regardless the access semantic. Multiple storage tiers can be leveraged to balance both performance and cost.
