Book should be titled "buy sap Hana"

What disappointed you about Big Data Appliances for In-Memory Computing?

Was hoping for more comparison of technologies... The book was more of an sap Hana fest, with the occasional anicdote about why technology x is less awesome than sap Hana.

What could Dr. Ganapathi Pulipaka have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

By not mechanically repeating the exact same evidence in multiple chapters.

How could the performance have been better?

Well...even though It is a technical book... There are compelling stories behind the facts. These compelling stories were treated mostly as lists of facts.

I felt like I paid to listen to a 5 hour sap commercial.

Any additional comments?

I am looking forward to the movie.

Decent stats but doesn't work as an audiobook

This has some decent information and might be ok as a reference guide, but it doesn't work well as an audio book. It seems almost like an SAP advertisement.
