correct me if i'm wrong, but this is something to use in conjunction with existing cloud applications right? thanks techcrunch for another non-informative article. i imagine this wouldn't be something someone would consider to replace their in-datacenter database solution, going over the WAN to access database data would be awful. i see this more as a service you would consider rolling up if you were already using vmforce to add automatic database capabilities that could scale according to demand. anyone else have thoughts on this? i wonder if they provide any partitioning automatically built in, that would be cool.
