CXL — Game
Changer for the
Data Center
The demand for data storage and processing power has skyrocketed as the world becomes increasingly digital. For an organization to keep up and continue to innovate it must have a robust infrastructure capable of handling the high-performance computing (HPC) requirements of new, expanding workloads.
Compute Express Link (CXL) introduces a revolutionary architectural shift, bringing new possibilities to data center performance, efficiency, and cost. CXL is an open-source interconnect for memory to connect to processing in servers and storage. It also allows the pooling of memory made by multiple vendors’ products, and that can be connected directly to processors in CPU, GPU, and DPU form, as well as to smart NICs and computational storage.
