QlikView's database compresses the data a good bit, and has the ability to do partial reloads (a la MOLAP), but any company that has a DW that size isn't using the cloud for their purposes. QlikView in the cloud would be best for a mid-size company that doesn't want to purchase or maintain servers. @Jonathan,

At those sizes, you are actually more interested in cloud solutions, but not necessarily in-memory. They offer massive parallelism that is dynamically allocated. This reduces hardware/software costs and management personnel. Which Panorama offering were you thinking of? I'd like to look into it. Thanks for the comment.

So if I have a 50-100TB DW, what do I care about a cloud BI solution anyway? That being said, Panorama has a hybrid client/cloud offering that seems better suited to smaller mart cloud apps than QV.

In traditional services network (bandwidth, latency or both) is guaranteed but in the cloud, so far, we have no control. Thanks, that’s a great point.

If your throughput is iffy, I imagine that would be the bottleneck, rather than the cloud server's processing power. Thoughts?
