Have you looked into Amazon's EC2? That's worked quite well for us. I haven't looked into other alternatives enough to know how it would compare for a 24/7 production application, but Amazon's pay as you go system is really nice when you just need to bunch of machines for a few hours of

They are not copying Cassandra with that, as it was in development for some time before Cassandra was released (possibly even before Cassandra development started). The BigTable-esque aspects, if they are 'copied' from anywhere, are copied from BigTable, just as they are in Cassandra. The
