Of course we remember you. Please stop by our new office!

You are right about the commodity hardware. The other difference with HANA is that MemSQL rowstores are in memory for high throughput applications and columnstores can be stored or flash or disks. So it's economical to scale MemSQL to very large datasets.

- MemSQL is very easy to scale. It comes with an ops dashboard that lets you add nodes with just a few clicks.

- There are a lot of different use cases. Some companies use us for operational reporting, end of day financial reporting, high throughput counters, real-time risk analysis, etc




I might take you up on that! Shoot me your contact details so I can set up (just did a search on my emails and can't find anything). My contact is in my profile.

Thanks!
