Impact of adding Persistent Memory / Optane Memory devices to your VM

Impact of adding Persistent Memory / Optane…

I had some questions around this in the past month, so I figured I would share some details around this.

Some are already using it for very specific use cases, usually in situations where the OS and the App actually understand the type of device being presented. What does that mean? At VMworld 2018 there was a great session on this topic and I captured the session in a post. Let me copy/paste the important bit for you, which discusses the different modes in which a Persistent Memory device can be presented to a VM.
