Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#117 - An update on all things Memory Tiering featuring Arvind Jagannath!
Q: Why is memory tiering suddenly getting a lot of attention, and what's driving its adoption?
Wider AI workloads are increasing demand for memory; DRAM costs are rising due to supply constraints, so software-based tiering offers cost efficiency without sacrificing performance.
#117 - An update on all things Memory Tiering featuring Arvind Jagannath!
Q: What exactly is memory tiering and how does it work in practice?
It blends DRAM with NVMe as spillover so the memory capacity doubles; hot pages stay in DRAM while colder data moves to NVMe, triggered by DRAM usage thresholds, aiming to preserve performance.
#117 - An update on all things Memory Tiering featuring Arvind Jagannath!
Q: You've been on the show before; for those who haven't heard, who are you and what do you do for Broadcom/VMware these days?
I'm a product manager at VMware focusing on the platform, IO devices and drivers, resource management in the OS, and memory tiering as a key area of focus.
#112 - Introducing VMware vDefend featuring Chris McCain!
Q: What is your opinion on micro-segmentation? Do you feel it's something that people should still be implementing today or not? When does it make sense?
Micro-segmentation is complex and while it was once a big focus, the conversation has shifted to provide customers with actionable, incremental security measures.
#112 - Introducing VMware vDefend featuring Chris McCain!
Q: So maybe you can explain what that NSX mindset actually means and how people should think about that.
The NSX mindset came out of the fact that when I joined NSBU, it was more about the humanistic barrier for people to let go of what they were doing traditionally than about technology.
