Is this one of those, "If you have to ask how much it costs, you can't afford it?" situations? Because "Try it now Free!" is the only thing I can see on their s

  Their resource estimator starts off at 1640 cores [1] and even the bottom most tick on the scale represents 500 cores. For people who can dedicate that amount of hardware to their database the licensing cost is probably not a major component. The numbers look impressive, though. http://www.memsql.com/why-memsql#scale-out http://www.memsql.com/why-memsql#scale-out

    Try again - I found the bottom ticks were 8 cores and 256GB.

      Fair enough - I had considered that to be on the axis since it's the minimum value, and thus not a tick, but visually it certainly is represented as a tick. At any rate, the point I was trying to make is that they clearly expect you to throw a lot of hardware at these systems.

        Sure, but a lot of projects LIKE this have an open source project for those people NOT in the enterprise, and who probably won't be running more than 8-24 cores or so. On a related note, changing the amount of RAM seems to only change the amount of RAM, not any of the other numbers. I guess that's their point, but I would rather they just SAY that than make me try a bunch of options to show that RAM doesn't matter. :|
