- geggam 10y agoVarious servers, i2 for Cassandra eats most of it. Application at various levels, multi region etc etc We too are hockey sticking but not ready to go to metal .... yet. Your reasons make sense. I would grow that team soon :)
- doh 10y agoWe have some large servers, but not too many of them. We're running 32 core nodes that are holding our Postgres, but the majority is smaller.

The i2 comparisons are under "local SSD and scaling up". Google have local 400 GB SSD that can be attached to any instance. That's a lot more flexible and a hell lot cheaper when you have specific needs.
