Any thoughts about this?  It seems to be a new database system designed from scratch to take advantage of the growth in RAM size (data sets that fit in memory) and the availability of SSD drives.  It claims to be "the world's fastest database."

It's hard to see at a glance if this is a robust system suitable for monetary transactions, or just a fast-but-lossy system that you'd use for social twitter.
