Steven,
Microsoft answer to a in memory db is the project currently called as Velocity. Keep in mind that Velocity is not a relational data model - more like a gigantic hash table with some great features for eviction rules/ routing/ load balancing etc. Using cash dependency you should be able to use it with SQL Server. Velocity is a in mem only model so it does not persist the state in any physical form - so you will still need a data store like SQL Server for permanent storage.

The project is in CTP - find more at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/cc655792.aspx

This is a very interesting topic and it happens that I'm currently looking for answers at same question: is there an in memory DB solution for SQL Server that can be currently used/implemented? Anything that will work with SQL Server until Microsoft own solution will be out? MTCache project from Microsoft started many years ago seems to address exactly this problem, but it looks like the project was abandoned.

thank you! That looks like a great resource

Thank you Matt for you comments. MOSS solution demands a lot of investment in a robust hardware and on the software licensing. But there are a lot of angles to look at this cost factor.
If we are looking only at the cost of developing the solution, hardware requirement, then definitely the cost runs to the higher end.
At the same time, we also need to look at solution on a long term perspective. A MOSS solution provides the scalability that the business demands, as the business grows. The close integration with the office suite, OBA applications makes the solution a valuable asset to the organization.

I agree that MOSS offers tons of features and capability but for most businesses it is simply too much and way too heavy for stand alone web content management. The platform requires enormous involvement of IT staff (most of it during installation/configuration), a great deal of training for users, and hardware robust enough to run it. Not cheap.

On the other hand, it is great for its original intent - intranet document management and collaboration.

Melvin would you be cool with our republishing this post in full, with your byline and bio obviously (plus a link back to the original URL) at http://cloudcomputing.sys-con.com/?

We try and do this from time to time with insightful Cloud posts by writers outside our immediate circle so as to introduce fresh new voices to our audience (and vice versa)

Let us know, yes? Thank you, sir! :)

friarminor,
Interesting question, heres my 2 cents.
* unlike pure-play SaaS/S+S vendors ,the bar to entry into cloud computing will be higher - ie its all about infrastructure and utility. Like SaaS/S+S, cloud computing introduces new ways for companies to monetize on products and services – in reality the only real barrier to entry is the a the ability to execute on a good idea, from what ive seen riding on the hype/buzz is not a bad idea as long as your able to build a good business plan

* Most of the innovative work around SaaS/ Web 2.0 have come from smaller firms (smaller but yet smarter), you can expect smaller firms to lead the innovation on cloud computing as well. Like SaaS the key will be operation effectiveness and Service level agreement (SLA) management.

Do you think there will be room for small fry managed cloud platforms such as morphexchange.com? Or will developers simply rally round a bandwagon mentality to feel relevant and in sync with buzz?

Best.
