-Hybrid Buffer Pool is a new feature of the SQL Server database engine where database pages sitting on database files placed on a persistent memory (PMEM) device will be directly accessed when required. Since PMEM devices provide very low latency for data access, the engine can forgo making a copy of the data in a "clean pages" area of the buffer pool and simply access the page directly on PMEM. Access is performed using memory mapped I/O, as is the case with enlightenment. This brings performance benefits from avoiding a copy of the page to DRAM, and from the avoidance of the I/O stack of the operating system to access the page on persistent storage. This feature is available on both SQL Server on Windows and SQL Server on Linux.
