How does one make flash storage behave like memory?
As the global markets find themselves in the middle of a memory crisis, the obvious solution to a memory shortage is, well, more DRAM. The problem is that DRAM is becoming increasingly expensive. Memory alone is expected to account for roughly 30% of hyperscaler data center expenditure this year, which marks a fourfold increase since 2023. At those prices, simply throwing more memory at growing AI workloads is becoming an increasingly difficult proposition for cloud providers trying to keep infrastructure costs under control. That's the demand side of the issue. The supply side, on the other h
