SAP HANA is a piggy pig pig! 6+TB memory x86 boxes w/ Numalink v7...EXCITED!

Memory gets very expensive !

When people start to say in memory is slow then I wonder what will happen...

Pictures please!!! I imagine your "unboxing" could be a full length feature film.

I know right, pics or it didn't happen! Unfortunately I am a work from home guy and the DC is out in Chicago area and we have dedicated touch labor guys out there so I'm thinking my getting hands on is slim but I will virtually/remote build it out with team and stand up SAP HANA stack w/ SAP team. I provide most of the Linux support for Red Hat Satellite enterprise lifecycle mgmt and provisioning/builds and cam's in our DC's are a big no-no so I'm getting more and more depressed...damned industry I work in it TIGHT lipped/full of spooks. :-D

You ever heard the old saying 'money is no object' LOL, yeah wish that was my problem! They are talkin' a need for 8-12TB mem systems for this project/initiative. Guess they are thrilled w/ our SAP HANA POC and performance is blowing their minds.
