After beeing involved in about 30 projects in different sizes , companies , technologies and solutions i made a conclusion : data sizes are not the major issue in a project. Actually picking the right technology is just a matter of time and money. Most problematic part is the speed of the data: throughput of writes and reads of the data itself. And here the truth creativity comes to play : modelling the data in correct way can drasticly change ( in both ways) the project .
