Hi Eli, Thank you for your post. Many of our customers currently run their analytics initiatives on the HP Vertica Analytics Platform in the cloud (Amazon). In our Bulldozer release, we improved the support for Amazon EC2 deployments with a Hardware Virtual Machine (HVM) based Amazon Machine Image (AMI), which includes Cloud Scripts that simplify cluster installation, configuration, and deployment. While I can't detail future improvements/releases related to the Cloud or offering our platform as a data warehousing a service, I can tell you that we continually seek feedback/ideas in this area because the cloud remains an important deployment model. Thanks again, --Jeff
