I will address all of the relevant responses directly with one reply. If i miss something please feel free to let me know =)
A cloud server does not replace a well designed architecture. If a site is getting a lot of traffic you may still require multiple cloud servers to handle the loads. Again, we are selling a fully redundant cloud service with no single point of failure. Amazon's instances run on local disk on 1 node each, no redundancy. We are backing it up with an industry standard SLA, Amazon does not provide this at all, this is where we differ.
Adam, you can can absolutely run FMS on a cloud linux machine with an alexa ranking of 200 - You will just need multiple cloud servers, and load balancing to facilitate it, depending upon your traffic patterns.
No offense, but posts like Babaganoosh are based on misinformation. Our infastructure is identical to ec2, while we don't have the automation they do (yet), the architecture is more or less identical. Customers can scale their cloud servers up and down with only a reboot. The billing methods may be different but the methodology & technology is primarily the same.
