The I/O issue is exactly why we don't offer the PRO as a VM image or as 
software-only option, because we've had bad experience with that, as we 
can't guarantee any performance figures (compared to the HW offer where 
the hardware is specifically tailored to meet the figures).

I've seen the guaranteed IO option in EC2 EBS, what from what I've seen 
it's not really cheap either, right?

As for SSDs, we've done some benchmarks, and there are high-end disks 
for server usage with a life-time of >10 years at our usage pattern and 
~40k IOPS, they're available for around USD 2k per piece at retail (e.g. 
from IBM).
