Cloud Services - Infrastructure as a Service

[Anon Anon]

Dear All,

I am looking for some advice on using the cloud services (Infrastructure as a Service) for setting up my test systems running CA applications on cloud ,does anyone have experience using cloud services (Infrastructure as a Service) or do you have anything which are already being used in your organization which you can suggest? I am evaluating Amazon EC2 and Rackspace,let me know if anyone has experience using these. Any suggestions on this are welcome..

Thanks in advance,
Phani

Haven't done it myself, but you would still need some of the software running locally, especially in the case of the data collectors (harvester, MTP/standard collector, pollers, etc.).
