Once someone comes up with an easy way to configure and deploy R in
the cloud, it will blow everything else out of the water. Cloud is a
game changer.
You can get 100 nodes each 68.4 GB RAM, 8 virtual cores, 64-bit Linux
at $200/hour total price for hardware lease. And you pay as you go, if
you get the servers for 1 hour, you pay only $200. Imagine how much
would this cost with SAS or other commercial package just for
licensing itself. Unless Stata, SAS and others figure out the
pay-as-you go licensing, they'll be done in 2 years.
