We use it on inexpensive second hand R810s with 256G of ram and 4x 10-core xeons of yesteryear. These can be found reasonably cheap: https://m.ebay.ca/itm/Dell-Poweredge-R810-II-4x-Ten-Core-Xeo...

Edit: while these cpus don't have avx/avx2, they still give good results and don't cost $40,000 per server. The best value system with avx2 would be a dual e5-2650v3 such as this one: https://m.ebay.ca/itm/DELL-POWEREDGE-R430-SERVER-2-X-E5-2650...

What's the licensing cost for MemSQL per server for this?

If you go with Enterprise edition (we use community) it used to be in the 4-digits for a support contract and some operational niceties (streaming native backup and restore).

They no longer seem to have a community offering, only paid. Also, having asked at one point, they say their pricing starts at $25K/year.

They renamed the CE to "Dev Edition" and I think now commercial use is prohibited.

They used to try and confuse the issue to make it seem like they were open source, now they don't even have a free to use option?

"Start Using MemSQL Community Edition Now Unlimited scale and capacity. Free forever.".... Free forever right? Now it doesn't exist.
