Has anyone succeeded in running OI 64-bit on Azure or other cloud platform? I would also be curious as to what the monthly fee is for that assuming it's doable.
Thanks

Thanks Andrew - we'll give Azure a shot here soon.

Karl,
I've worked with a few large customers who have hosted their OpenInsight environment in Azure and the results have been decent. It's hard to provide cost figured because a lot depends on:
[*] How many IOPs and how much DB storage is needed. Azure has premium disk storage SSDs which offer fine-grained disk cache settings which can help the LinearHash service run well.
[*] Required size of the DB server and resources needed to run the OEngineServer (if used).
[*] How many terminal servers will be needed ( assuming that your access uses OpenInsight instead of a web interface for user access ) and can any of these terminal servers be turned off during periods of low usage.
If you can send me some information about your user count and workloads I might be able to provide you with some estimates and things to consider.

Andrew - For Karl's benefit, are you describing your work in creating a BFS to an Azure data source or are you referring to using Azure as a hosting platform for OpenInsight? I think he's interested in the latter (which is what Jared's response is addressing) but I think you might be describing the former.

This is another project where we are using Azure as a server. ;)
