In this Best of Tech Field Day presentation from Cloud Field Day 12, MemVerge CEO Charles Fan introduced the company’s Big Memory Cloud technology, emphasizing its significance for memory-centric workloads in the cloud and its ability to address key challenges faced by such workloads. The presentation outlined the difficulties stateful applications experience in cloud environments, including high costs, the inability to efficiently burst to the cloud during peak demand, and the challenge of cloud vendor lock-in. MemVerge’s solution leverages their Big Memory software, including a new Cloud Edition, to create “App Capsules” that encapsulate the state of applications, allowing for seamless migration, fault tolerance, and cost efficiency across cloud environments. This technology enables applications to utilize spot instances without the risk of losing progress, supports cloud bursting by preserving application state, and mitigates cloud lock-in by facilitating easier migration between cloud providers. The presentation also touched on the technical aspects of capturing and transferring application states, including the challenges of maintaining CPU and memory states during migrations.

MemVerge CEO, Charles Fan, provides an update on the Big Memory industry, highlighted by recent announcements related to CXL. Dr. Fan then delivers an overview of Big Memory Cloud, including the challenges faced by memory-centric workloads in the cloud, and Big Memory Cloud technology designed to address them.
