How do you even make a case of somethig for 24hour use? the only reason i see people using it when they need a lot of computing for temporary use, its like renting computing, for long term use vps and dedicated server from rackspaces and planet are still the best choice. and the last point is pure silly, giving 0.10$ per hour for monitoring makes no business sense when there are cheaper solutions available that give you more flexibility in monitoring.

Often the business leader can create value by directly integrating his enterprise's systems with his suppliers or customers but the obstacles for IT to set up secure and reliable communications on a server that is in the DMZ (publically accessible IP address) prove too great. With EC2, the connectivity software can run at Amazon with a single link to the trading partner from trusted code running in EC2. An especially compelling scenario is when the connectivity code also leverages SQS for routing and S3 for storage. That's what Business Integration Technology intends to do with our license-fee-free, open source EME working with Amazon Web services to create The Virtual VAN - hosted in the Elastic Compute Cloud. The cost for all three services will be nominal for most small to medium enterprises - and the business value may be very high.
