- tkyjonathan 10y agoGood! They will have to set aside servers that do just databases with SQL chips, but either way, I would be happy if they do that. I would also be interested to see if there is a new trend to go back to owning commodity hardware, putting CoreOS+docker on it + a database with a hopefully inexpensive SQL chip. Moving away from VMware, massively expensive servers, massively expensive SANs, proprietary backups.. Would be very interesting to see.
