I was just talking with a client this morning that was lamenting the fact that
our proposed SQL solution would require 4 VM machines to run a comparable
system to his current one on UniData that "doesn't have as much processing
memory, and
is possible that it has less disk space than the phone has RAM...)

RQM is still supported by UniData, but it's now merely a synonym for
SLEEP. NAP is a UV thing, with millisecond granularity. SLEEP, in both
