Surely, but there is probably some twists and performance iusses, so I'd suggest you let the Saas/Paas vendors work with you closely to tune this to until you are happy. You know, checkbook engineering is probably your best route to figure this out. The vendor with with an actual datacenter close to your folks or with the fastest bandwidth will help achieve the responsiveness you require. What I've experiences is there is an over abundance of 'good will' on the part of most linux based cluster/cloud vendors, that is most easily leveraged. My shortlist of cloud/remote-resource vendors for your situations is:: 1) Saas/Paas close to your nearest major bandwidth exchange point. 2) http://www.soyoustart.com/us/distributions/ (planet.gentoo.org blogpost by lu_zero on Nov-29,2015 notes gentoo is a supported distro. 3) Rackspace:: there is a reason they are one of the major players in all levels of 'the cloud' They have a can_do spirit (no I do not work for them, but I really like all the gentoo devs that work for them that I have encountered in my 'cluster travels'. Take and old fashion approach, use your checkbook and get *exactly* what you want via the cloud vendors' staff. Then you can edit the gentoo-wiki! > - Grant hth, James
