Monolithic Servers Are Not the Best Answer for all types of Workloads

What’s Required?

• Total server subsystem disaggregation: CPU, Memory, I/O and Accelerators, Local Disk

• Control plane to create composite machines out of atomic components

• Exposed programmability for composable IT services

Dynamic Data Distribution

• HX Data Platform stripes data across all nodes simultaneously, leveraging cache across all SSDs for fast writes

• No data migration following VM migration = less stress on network

Systems built on conventional file systems write locally, then replicate, creating performance hotspots
