Just seen this link to a pic on twitter lower down in this thread:

Not sure where that pic is from or whether it is legit, but if they double the RAM on all plans as it implies I'll be really pleased... there's some intriguing text top right too which looks like it might be some sort of stats monitoring system (longview?).

I can "confirm" that double the ram is coming, they were handing out flyers at SXSW stating as such. Here is a photo I took in high resolution: http://code.mglinski.com/X3ps/30zoh6Yf Of course it is all still plans, but after talking with them directly about it I feel very confident they will be doing your ram junkies sweet justice once they have had the chance to move everyone over to the new E5 boxes.

They had a demo of Longview on the show floor too, from what I gathered it is a package install based daemon to monitor processes and the like, something like the server part of NewRelic but sitting directly in their datacenters.

That's good news! They're just stringing the announcements out for more publicity. Thanks for the better pic.
