dRedDbox: Demonstrating Disaggregated Memory in an Optical Data Centre

This paper showcases the first experimental demonstration of disaggregated memory using the dRedDbox optical Data Centre architecture. Experimental results demonstrate the 4-tier network scalability and performance of the system at the physical and application layer.
