R and Cloud Computing

The following was posted on the R statistical computing group on LINKEDIN:

Got models in R? Deploy and score them in ADAPA in minutes on the Amazon EC2 cloud computing infrastructure!

Zementis ( http://www.zementis.com ) has been working with the R community, specifically to extend the support for the Predictive Model Markup Language (PMML) standard which allows model exchange among various statistical software tools ( http://adapasupport.zementis.com/2008/02/how-can-i-export-pmml-code-from-r.html ).

If you develop your models in R, you can easily deploy and execute these models in the Zementis ADAPA scoring engine ( http://www.zementis.com/products.htm ) using the PMML standard. This not only eliminates potential memory constraints in R but also speeds execution and allows SOA-based integration. For the IT department, ADAPA delivers reliability and scalability needed for production-ready deployment and real-time predictive analytics.
