The memory hierarchy can be pretty complicated, but the general design, the part that's making the rest possible, seems to me that it's stacking ISAM. It might not be a simple stacking, you need to tune the parameters to deal with various cache levels. But it's the same principle, isn't it?

I agree the hardware is quite different, vastly more complex.
