HI all, We have a small cluster on EC2. It has been good so far. - c1.xlarge instance costs about $500 / month. (reserved instances cost about $150 / month for 1 yr term) - EBS volume IO throughput is just ok, and I have seen fluctuations.
I'd like to see if there are any other providers that cater to Hadoop/Hbase clusters. What I am looking at: - powerful machines - good IO performance (physical disks) - cost per node - how easy it is to add more nodes and storage If any one has any experience with other providers, could you please share it with the group? thanks Sujee http://sujee.net
