[OAM-talk] centralized hosting

[Jeffrey Johnson]

The initial OAM effort was essentially performed (process & tile
imagery) on a single big machine, so yes its quite possible. The issue
is whether something like this is sustainable over the long term. No
matter how much hardware you or anyone else threw at the problem,
short of full unfettered access to EC2 with someone footing the bill,
we would quickly run up against resource issues ... there is simply a
boat load of imagery out there ... thus the desire to move to a
distributed model that is sustainable in the long run.
