How CXL Technology will Revolutionize the Data Center

Data Centers face many challenges in an environment of exponentially rising data volume growth. With workload demands increasing rapidly, the need for more bandwidth and capacity continues to rise. We’ve reached the point where half of server bill of materials (BoM) costs are for memory. How can we make the best use of this investment?

With CXL technology, the industry is pursuing tiered-memory solutions and composable architectures that would match the amount of compute, memory and storage in an on-demand fashion to address the needs of wide range of workloads. Learn how over 200 companies, including the leaders at every level of the data center value chain from IP, chips, platforms, system OEMs to hyperscalers, are coalescing to revolutionize the data center.
