High-density memory architecture

Large web site operators know that Memcached yields substantial web site performance advantages. By providing a very high-density Memcached solution, Gear6 Web Cache provides even greater advantages.

Gear6 memory utilization technology enables the use of hybrid DRAM-flash memory configurations.  This memory architecture provides the high performance of DRAM and the very low cost of flash. Several times as much Memcached memory can be deployed in each “U” of rack space without increasing latency. Sophisticated slab management and eviction algorithms further extend these advantages, optimizing memory utilization and avoiding memory fragmentation issues that occur in many Memcached deployments.
