EPM 11.1.2.1 on the cloud

11.1.2.1 has now been out a week and thus should not be news to anyone here.  One interesting thing different about this release, however, is the cloud instance that has popped up so that anyone can easily take advantage of giving 11.1.2.1 a test drive.

Emerging Solutions' John Booth has put an Amazon cloud instance online.  John has also worked hard on the cloud instance that will be used for hands-on labs at KScope 11.  For the latest details, see John's blog at http://www.metavero.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=51:epm-test-drive&catid=1:latest-news&Itemid=50.

If you have never used the Amazon cloud, Cameron Lackpour has posted a blog on how to get started with John's image.  See Cameron's blog post at http://camerons-blog-for-essbase-hackers.blogspot.com/2011/05/yeah-yeah-11121-is-here-so-what_12.html.

As for me, I am getting busy providing Dodeca support for 11.1.2.1.  It should be available either late this week or early next week.
