Below is my part of feedback. SL may make my dream come true. I checked out amazon ec2 & few others but I found no one to be ideally giving cloud services. For instance amazon can give maximum 20 EC2 compute units power. This is fine for someone running dedicated servers but for someone running a cluster this may not look scalable. Sure I can run multiple instance but then that will be just like my current cluster. Mosso has done some good work by introducing compute cycles but nothing mentioned about RAM. Even the sales person has no idea about ram. If amount of ram is low system will increase lot of i/o wait and thus will waste compute cycles ultimately slowing my app and increasing cost.
