OCP Global Summit 2025: ZeroPoint Technologies Teams with OCP Composable Memory Systems TCO Sub-Team Member to Showcase Inline Hardware Memory Compression

At the OCP Global Summit in San Jose, CA, ZeroPoint Technologies AB and Seagate Technology LLC, a global, mass capacity storage manufacturer, unveil a real-time demonstrationshowcasing the power of hardware-accelerated memory compression within a CXL memory tier.The demonstration falls under the 2 companies’ work as part of the Open Compute Project’s (OCP) Composable Memory Systems (CMS) TCO Sub-Team initiative and utilizes representative workloads to validate the significant cost, capacity, and performance benefits inherent to ZeroPoint’s hardware-accelerated, memory optimization solutions by incorporating Seagate’s expertise of the demands of hyperscale workloads.  

“Since the start of 2025, we’ve seen a clear evolution regarding how customers and partners look at hardware-accelerated memory optimization in their product pipeline,” said Angelos Arelakis, co-founder and CTO, ZeroPoint Technologies. “There is a clear paradigm shift happening in real time – the transition from hardware-accelerated memory technologies being viewed as a nice to have differentiator, to increasingly being viewed as a necessary core technology to meet the TCO reduction demands of the hyperscalers.”

The demonstration will show the significant advantages of this approach, enabling companies utilizing CXL-connected memory and serving hyperscale workloads to realize:

• Breakthrough Efficiency: Up to 2.25× compression (1.85× avg) with cache-line compression technology and <1% CXL traffic – matching hyperscaler-grade production metrics.
• No Performance Trade-offs: Latency-sensitive workloads maintain SLA-level tail latency with 90%+ page-cache hit rates.
• Significant Cost Savings: Up to 44% TCO savings in high-density deployments while clearing hyperscaler adoption targets.

“The Open Compute Project’s mission is to make scalable infrastructure more efficient, open, and cost-effective,” added Arelakis. “Inline compression within composable memory systems is a key enabler of that vision – and what we are demonstrating is not a vendor-specific solution, but a community-driven benchmark of what the next gen of memory architectures can deliver.”

The Open Compute community has already validated the need for compressed CXL memory tiers in their published specs and ZeroPoint is dedicated to moving the industry from discussing theoretical benefits to observing practical real-world implementations with measurable performance gains and clear economic impact.
