Session: FUT3040BU, Richard Brunner Speed analysis is dependent on storage and database access latency. A key component is local storage latency - nothing can compete with DRAM What if you can move storage closer to the processing? You can with byte-addressable persistent memory (PMEM) Future vSphere will bring PMEM support...
