Ever heard of redis? It's an in memory object store with on-disk
persistence - it's essentially doing the same thing

Hmm, nope, sounds interesting but apparently it's not a general purpose solution...

Ref:

Kinda chuckling to myself...you've got 150 Gig of RRD data, so
apparently a boatload of devices,

Yep, the original devices where mostly Linux servers and a few switches (about 30GB), the ~100GB increment was given by adding more network devices... (too many ports?)

a Solaris box with 64G of ram, we know
that wasn't cheap, but you can't afford a Xeon box with 256G?

Well, this wasn't bought for data collection specifically. Its in fact a Xeon machine, not SPARC in case you were thinking about that...

Could it be you're just in love with zfs, and this is your excuse to ask
her out?

Hmm, "in love" is too much, but I'm curious and was a nice opportunity to ask her out.. :)

Regards,

CI.-
