OpenMRS and cloud database services

[Manor Lev-tov]

All,
Just wanted to share another proposed solution to address the scalability issue - particularly if we want to be able to scale outside of JSS.  If the main bottleneck of scalability is the database, then we could use a cloud database service, such as Amazon RDS or Xeround.  This will provide us with an elastic database solution and should be fairly easy to use with OpenMRS.  The power of this solution is that if we try it and find it's not a good fit for our situation, it should be trivial to export the data and import it into whatever other database we want.  This only addresses the proper backup and scalability aspects of the OpenMRS, and only to a certain extent, but if done properly, it should be one less thing for us to worry about with this implementation.
Thoughts?  Does anyone have any experience with these products?

Like many implementations (and somewhat correctly) would not want patient data to be in the cloud. Instead, would want it to be hosted locally.

Also, having to use good internet connections to be able to work with EMR doesn't seem good to me. I would like to have my hospital system to work on intranet rather than the internet, given the cost, availability and tech support for good internets in rural areas
