A couple of years ago Adobe was excited about AEM in the cloud SaaS, but this offering seems to have quietly gone away. We use AEM at Rackspace where we have the ability to scale both horizontally and vertically at the touch of a button. We also utilize both AWS and the Rackspace Cloud and have written automation that will automatically scale up our AEM implementation when it is under high load and shrink it when it traffic slows.

I have one answer. The choice of technology depends only on your project, and on its nature. If scalability is not planned, but in certain volumes, and it takes a lot of resources, then the VSAN https://www.starwindsoftware.com/starwind-virtual-san architecture can be used. It is able to combine computing and storage functions in a server. This approach will allow you to scale quickly and cost-effectively. The service of Virtual SAN available for you by providers, where you rent this resource.

Question on: PhotoShelter for Brands
I've submitted a series of 'wish list' of features and improvements. How can we track if these are being implemented, considered or dismissed?
Just would like to obtain a 'sense' of how far our feedback goes up in the command chain, and are you literally 'listening' to your customers? What other resources are available online to learn what improvements are being made and considered?
