So what? Linux is also implemented, and it runs on a 32GB machine.

Neither Linux nor SAP HANA satisfy even the most basic requirement
that I outlined (keeping balances) without additional implementation
work.  And I doubt that if you give a 15 year old Dual-Xeon even with
64GB of RAM and a bunch of HDDs to a typical SAP developer, he will
implement a system that manages to keep the balance on 1.8M (double
the number for double RAM capacity) credit cards at 56K transactions
per second on that system.  What I described is relatively
straightforward to implement on top of Linux.
