Database maker Vertica Systems is moving its technology to Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud infrastructure (EC2), hoping to score customers who want a hosted, pay-as-you-go model for data warehousing and BI (business intelligence), the company announced Monday.
Sybase has filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Vertica in Federal Court.
This means that while the suit is pending Vertica will not be able to indemnify any of their prospective customers against lawsuits in their software license agreements.
Most corporations will not put their sensitive competitive information in a cloud. Data privacy and security agreements cannot fully protect potential customers if they cannot actually identify the specific machine(s) where the data will reside.

Which customers will risk patent infringement lawsuit to put their valuable corporate information into a computing environment where they cannot be fully protected by data privacy and security agreements?
