Oracle has recently stepped-up and done a really cool integration with their 11g release of Oracle Data Mining on Amazon’s EC2 Cloud.
You can check it out for yourself here.
You can get step-by-step instruction on how to launch and run your own environment for testing/demo purposes, here. This is a great way to introduce new users to this amazing technology that I think has always bleeding edge.
I wonder if they’ll start doing this with all of their new technology releases.
