The original MarkLogic implementation called for one server and one backup. Bad idea, but these are xml Kiddies. Now we have the White House self-report on progress to normalcy.
Note page 5, where the slide shows 12, count 'em 12, dedicated servers. And sundry other hardware. Ain't bloated flatfiles so much fun? Of course, we (at least, I) have yet to see a report of who, by name and rank, insisted on MarkLogic. My guess is it won't be a political payoff (much as certain segments of the political spectrum wish it to be so), but rather a Supergrade who's been in love with HL7 and other diagnostic data processing aspects of health care. I have mentioned that I spent some years writing (Progress based) a pre-qual database appication? HL7 was even then much loved. Bah. It's a fact that MarkLogic turned to health care when the first few avenues for peddling that scurvy xml "database" bore no fruit. Mixing metaphors, I know, but the colossal incompetence of this pisses me off. The Right Wing has been served up a watermelon pitch by a bunch of knuckleheads. Be rich or die. Yeah, we're so much more civilized now than 100 years ago.
IFF AI, as currently implemented, can intuit Special Relativity from just a clock tower and a moving tram will I take AI seriously.
Infinite granularity yields infinite complexity.

The world is not linear.

Well, I'm going to do it, whether the women like it or not. I'm going to protect them.

Scientists aren't vocal enough about science. There are large groups of people who think scientists are all frauds and who don't
believe in science, and they're being cultured by some of our far right-wing politicians, religious leaders and community leaders. -- Dr. McElhone/1974

To date, Microsoft is stating that organizations testing In-Memory OLTP have
seen transaction speeds improve by up to 30 times compared to past
performance, with the best performance gains achieved when the business
logic resides in the database and not in the applications.

I have had to explain and re-explain and re-explain and re-explain, you know, how relational databases work, what is an eigenvector,
what is dimensionality reduction.
-- Christopher Wylie/2018
... but Flash-based storage has such a different performance profile from rotating media, that I suspect that it will end up having
a large impact on filesystem design. Right now, most filesystems tend to be designed with the latencies of rotating media in mind.

This Week's thought
In fact, the number of full-time federal workers has been relatively static, within a few hundred thousand civilians, since the 1960s. ... [C]ontractors frequently end up costing the government more money. -- Zachary B. Wolf/2024 [ya know, like The Musk Ox]
See you next week in a brand new show©Heckle and Jeckle
In a time of SSD, multi-core/processor, two terabyte memory and Optane App Direct Mode machines, there is no reason not to
build from BCNF data. Time to do what Dr. Codd demonstrated. Technology has finally caught up with the maths.

- Been doing databases, both relational and others, as well as operations research since Hector was a Pup.
Shameless Plug
I know a little something about SQL, DB2 (preferably LUW, z/OS if the money's right), Oracle, SQL Server, Postgres, and database design in general. Mentoring/teaching/consulting on a short term basis, too. And a bit of stat analysis if it's R.
