The "Memory RAID" design should prevent a larger issue (multi-bit/DIMM failure/etc. that ECC cannot prevent) from taking the whole system out
There are intel based servers (IBM in my experience) that are reminiscence of mainframe systems in that two separate banks of memory to allow for redundancy.

Transaction speed has never been high point of Essbase, nor storing anything but numerical data.
Changes to the data are not reflected immediately except in the lowest level members until it is re-calculated. It is not unusual to find calc scripts that run for 8+ hours.

The US did not want one of their capsules coming down over Soviet controlled areas and the Soviet's gaining access to our technology.

In contrast, when a company's software project fails, the only people who learn from it are the ones involved with the project.

I interviewed at their HDQ once and had a slightly hard time finding the facility as they have no name on their building and no address either.
