Does anyone offer cloud hosting of geo-spatial databases? Obviously, Amazon web services will host pretty much anything so long as you install and maintain the software, but I am looking for someone who maintains the necessary database.
Preferably Postgres / PostGIS / MapServer ====================================================== Amazon EC2 Relational Database is basically MySQL, for example: http://aws.amazon.com/running_databases. They do provide some kind of Postgres image, but it seems designed primarily to support Ruby on Rails, and as it is described as "provided by Sun Microsystems" its future sounds cloudy! I have also looked at the three cloud providers mentioned in the Postgres FAQ, but none sound interested in geospatial. NB this is more about long-term requirements than an immediate need, so I would be pleased to hear about people starting up. Thanks for any suggestions Humphrey Southall _______________________________________________ Geowanking mailing list [email protected] http://geowanking.org/mailman/listinfo/geowanking_geowanking.org
