Rethinking Data Management Systems for Disaggregated Data Centers
Summary: Studies how resource disaggregation—networked pools of CPU, memory, and storage—reshapes relational DBMS design, introducing new locality, latency, and consistency trade-offs. Sketches pros (elasticity, pooling), cons (remote latency, bandwidth contention) and research challenges. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
