Parallel databases provide various forms of parallelism ...
- processor parallelism can assist in speeding up memory ops
- processor parallelism introduces cache coherence issues
- disk parallelism can assist in overcoming latency
- disk parallelism can be used to improve fault-tolerance (RAID)
- one limiting factor is congestion on communication bus
