Memory Settings in #Tabular #ssas (and Prepare for #msteched!)

We are going very close to the release of SQL Server 2012 and after using Analysis Services 2012 for almost one year in a relatively small number of scenarios, I'm really curios to see the questions and the issues that will emerge when its adoption will go mainstream. I expect that many will consider a Tabular instance of Analysis Services similar to a Multidimensional one, also from a system engineer perspective, whereas there are many important differences. For example, the hardware required to scale up an Analysis Services instance is different (very different) between Tabular and Multidimensional, but this will be the topic for a future post. By now, I just want to make some consideration about memory settings.
