You can have all that performance, but it’s going to cost you the world.</li><li><strong>The platform works as a very clever system:</strong> It uses a two-tier architecture that splits performance and capacity into independent dimensions.</li><li><strong>The crown jewels of the database space:</strong> When it comes to moving it and putting it into someone else’s cloud, you really need to be absolutely sure that you’re going to get everything you need.</li></ul><p> </p><p>The Big Quotes:</p><p>“I'm in a very privileged position to be able to talk to lots of CEOs and CTOs of very large companies.”</p><p> </p><p>“It's essentially like a t-shirt size methodology, but most real life work clothes don't fit into the easy small, medium, or large categories.”</p><p> </p><p>“I just think that everyone needs to keep an eye on what's happening in this database space.”</p><p> </p>
