Sangfor HCI Memory Tiering: Double Server Memory Without Adding RAM
Sangfor HCI Memory Tiering combines DRAM and NVMe SSDs to expand memory capacity at a lower cost. It keeps active data in DRAM and moves inactive memory pages to NVMe automatically.
This can double or triple effective memory capacity, cut memory expansion costs by up to 90%, and support more VMs and larger applications with minimal impact on latency-insensitive workloads. Sangfor and VMware are the only two vendors offering this capability.
