Overview and Installation
Understanding how persistent memory works is helpful when getting started with MemVerge Memory Machine. You can then install Memory Machine on a server and begin monitoring memory usage and capturing application snapshots.
- Introduction to MemVerge Memory Machine
  MemVerge Memory Machine (Memory Machine) enables applications to expand from volatile memory (DRAM) into persistent memory (PMem).
- Getting Started with Memory Machine
  You run Memory Machine on a host equipped with one or more PMem devices.
  - Hardware Recommendations
    - PMem Server Requirements
  - Network Recommendations
    For optimal performance and consistency throughout the Memory Machine System, MemVerge either requires or recommends specific values for open port numbers, communication protocols, and other network-related configurations.
  - Software Recommendations
    MemVerge recommends that you conform to software dependencies, such as operating systems and packages, that have been tested with MemVerge products.
  - Memory Machine Platforms
  - Configuration Files
    MemVerge Memory Machine uses several YAML-formatted configuration files, installed in the /etc/memverge directory. Two of these, mvmallocd.yml and mvmalloc.yml contain user-configurable parameters.
Using the Memory Machine Management Center
Memory Machine Management Center (M3C) is a web UI application available on the host that is running the Memory Machine Management Service. You can view system resources and performance metrics; create and restore snapshots; schedule jobs; and more in M3C.
Using the Command Line Tools
You can administer and use MemVerge Memory Machine using a Command Line Interface (CLI).
Memory Machine Administration
MemVerge Memory Machine can be installed and run using CLI commands. Many administrative tasks can be performed using the Memory Machine Management Center web interface.
Working with Applications
MemVerge provides additional instructions for some popular applications supported by Memory Machine, either to assist with complex setup or to support additional functionality.

PMem Server Requirements

Recommended and minimum hardware requirements for running a Memory Machine process on a server with PMem are as follows:

Hardware	Recommended	Minimum
