On average, only 30–40% of enterprise DRAM is actually utilized.
The rest sits idle, stranded by server-bound architectures.
At the same time, DRAM spot prices have surged, and supply constraints are expected to persist into 2027, as manufacturers prioritize HBM for AI accelerators. For many organizations, this creates a false choice: pay more for memory, slow AI initiatives, or wait.
The better option isn’t buying more memory.
It’s using the memory you already own far more effectively.
Kove:SDM™ transforms stranded DRAM into a shared, high-performance resource across the data center. By decoupling memory from individual servers, organizations can increase utilization, reduce overprovisioning, and scale memory-intensive workloads without buying additional DRAM at inflated prices.
The result is materially better economics:
- Higher memory utilization from existing assets
- Fewer servers required to support growing workloads
- Lower power, cooling, and total cost of ownership
- Faster time to value for AI and data-intensive initiatives
Organizations that rethink memory architecture now are better positioned to operate through continued price volatility — and to emerge more efficient on the other side.
