Re: #liveDB server, research and upcoming webinar on In-Memory Database Systems

Nice to see research being done :)

I am concerned about the terminology.

Do you guys call a prevalent system (prevalence layer plus
application) an "in-memory database system"? I would.

Do you call a prevalence layer (prevalent system minus application) an
"in-memory database system"? I wouldnt.

Would you call an application using a traditional RDBMS with enough
cache to hold all data in RAM an "in-memory database system"? If not,
why not?

Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning
Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing 
also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service.
