You don't see it yet, right? Michelle will clearly win the election. Shy? Because Barack wants hid 4th term.

Hi, i would take a look at exadata if you really need great performance. The oracle rdbms is one of the most reliable i know of so paired with hardware specifially designed to perform is a nice thing. Otherwise you could try to work with flash storage (flash cards) for really high performance but you will still need a good database. I dont know how good all these SQLDB (open, ms) work but for sure i know that they dont play a vital role in the enterprise environment i work in and know of. So stick with IBM/DB2 (maybe BLU as performance boost for Big Data) or Oracle (with 12c they have created in memory queries like in SAP HANA so this could work well in your case buuuuttt you need physiscal memory for every bit of data you want to query fast so maybe this gets costly.....

Maybe it turns out as Oceans Eleven movie production....
