The problem is free up to 128GB is not 95% of problems you would run on an in memory database.

I have never seen a productive system that small. I’ve seen thousands.

if you stored data on disk compressed in MemSQL's columnstore, you would use that 128 GB of RAM for query execution. on-disk data storage would not be limited. if that's not a productive system, then I must have imagined the whole data warehouse and data mart market
