Or set up an instance on EC2, then you can run it from anywhere!<br>

Hello, Martin.<br>
<br>
Yes, in principle, and as long as you can afford to download your work because Amazon make their money by charging much more to retrieve data than they do to store it...<br>
<br>
Seriously, though, I'm setting up Eucalyptus at RINH to try out the AMI that Tim et al. are working on with the JVCI. I think 'private' clouds compatible with EC2/S3 etc. are the way forward. The economics of using AWS does make sense if you almost never use a computer, but the more you use a computer the less economic it is to rent a share of one from Amazon.<br>
<br>
Eucalyptus is well supported by Ubuntu server edition:<br>

I'd be interested to hear from anyone else doing this sort of thing?<br>
