Dumb question but why don’t we see more cracked out high memory machines? I mean like 1 petabyte RAM. Or do these already exist

- guenthert 2y agoI'd think the market share for applications which need huge amount of space, but little CPU processing power and memory transfer rate is rather small. Lenovo's slides indicate that they foresee this server be used for in-memory data bases. Weren't there also distributed fs where the meta-data server couldn't be scaled out?
- eqvinox 2y agoWe don't see more of these machines because most tasks are better served by a higher number of smaller machines. The only benefit of boxes like this is having all of that RAM in one box. Very few use cases need that.
