Oracle has OCS , which consists of a mail/calendar/ldap/fileserver/webserver/ ... blah blah all with SQL storage. And the database is .. no points for guessing that. But OCS is a terrible resource HOG ( understatement ) I dont think there are many users for OCS IMHO SQL storage is definitely going to be there. The common indexing mechanism is what makes such storage interesting. I agree it is slow now, but hardware and software will get better then resource will not be an issue Ram
