Sure it's easy to deploy more but you still have to take that step. Companies like 10gen will scale for you, as they will take advantage of the cloud and give you the resources you need.<br><br>Of course their are a lot of advantages to EC2 in that you can configure as you like, however 10gen will be very fixed into what you can do. Although they will, I'm sure, try to provide everything a website should need.neilWed, 24 Sep 2008 11:47:51 -0000http://ironwil.disqus.com/ironkey_review/#comment-1025679Don't buy one of these, or if you do don't change the password back to a previous password - after I did this I couldn't unlock mine, even when using the recover password function and their support. Eventually it self destructed and they won't replace it. Finally why would they use a cap on the end, it falls off all the time.<br>Don't buy one and when you decide not to - please email <a href="mailto:support@ironkey.com" rel="nofollow">support@ironkey.com</a> stating you didn't buy one because of case number - 00023997<br><br>they also just dropped my support requests, no follow up what so ever.neilMon, 28 Jul 2008 20:37:25 -0000
