Re: How to handle Big Data under IBM i?

[Roberto José Etcheverry Romero <yggdrasil.raiker@xxxxxxxxx>]

If i had some more available time i've got tons of spare equipment lying
around. nothing is bleeding edge, but an 8 core POWER6 8203-E8A with 64Gb
RAM is no slouch either.
If someone is interested in poking me from time to time i might be able to
run some tests (i might need to learn HOW to even compile on IBM i...)

Best Regards
