Before you build anything, get more from what’s already racked.
Blocks marked with a placeholder ID are awaiting written partner permission or supporting documentation. Per the build spec, no page publishes with an unresolved marker — see the placeholder register.
Your servers aren’t short of cores.
You end up buying more servers to reach memory you already own — and every one of them adds heat to a room that’s already at its limit.
One pool, drawn on demand.
- Higher useful throughput from the racks you already have.
- Fewer servers for the same work.
- Less heat — which raises your effective density ceiling without anyone touching a chiller.
This is the other half of the heat equation. See how it pairs with thermal uprate →

Kove-reported scaling and energy figures — e.g. 128 GiB to 5 TiB, 25-50% lower energy consumption. Permission and benchmark methodology required.
Integration, not resale.
Profiling
Workload profiling to find where you’re memory-bound.
Fabric readiness
Assessment of whether your fabric supports a deployment, and what it would take if not.
Facility integration
Integration into facility power, cooling and network design.
Net modelling
Net capacity and thermal modelling — including the appliance’s own rack space and draw, so the number you get is net, not gross.
Deployment
Deployment and commissioning under one contract.
Operation
Ongoing operation and reporting against the capacity targets set in the assessment.
When this isn’t the answer
If your workloads aren’t memory-bound, this rung won’t help and we’ll tell you. Kove:SDM also requires an InfiniBand fabric — if you don’t have one, we’ll scope what it would take and let you decide whether it’s worth it against rung two or three.
