Finally the people at Revolution Analytics have made their software available on AWS .Interesting development and it remains how it will be followed by other providers in stats software.

Users now have the opportunity to perform statistical analysis and advanced analytics on data sets they might have stored in Amazon’s cloud-based object store Simple Storage Service (S3) or access data from Amazon’s Relational Data Service (RDS).
The cloud offers many benefits to the user, and the AWS Marketplace is no exception. The ability to spin up pre-installed versions of RRE 7 takes all the guesswork out of deployment and provides for a consistent and reliable experience with the software. Within minutes a user can gain access to R-based analysis from anywhere he or she has an Internet connection.
The Windows version is accessed via Windows Remote Desktop and leverages RRE DevelopR IDE. The Linux version is browser-based and leverages RStudio Server Pro to provide a multi-user IDE. Both versions are available on instances from 2 – 32 vCPUs and can handle data sets of up to 1 TB for RRE ScaleR analysis. The solution is single-instance only and does not currently offer support for grids or clusters
