I think Azure and AWS are going to be more important than you think.

I've been running big batch jobs that take a week to run on a conventional server -- I could probably speed the job up 5 or 10 times on a single server, but I'm expecting my data sets to grow rapidly.

The job is a great fit for the map/reduce paradigm. A parallel version of the job that's designed to eliminate non-sequential I/O could run quickly on a small cluster: The job could be done for $10 or $20, without tying up any of my machines that are doing other work.
