Free AMIs for learning latest ArcGIS for Server / ArcSDE?

[danan]

Are there any free AMIs available for learning how to install and configure the latest version of ArcGIS for Server / ArcSDE?

Since there's now an ArcGIS Desktop for Home Use program (full "ArcInfo" license level, or whatever they call it these days), would be terrific if Esri would provide a similar offering for ArcGIS Server / ArcSDE. If you agree, please vote here:

Offer ArcGIS Server for Home / ArcSDE for Home educational-use programs (900 votes but not even Under Consideration):

Here's a reboot of the Idea:
ArcGIS Server for Home / ArcSDE for Home use (in the Cloud)

Vote up both if you like.

Dana,

Helpful for any not familiar with Amazon EC2 offerings, an AMI -- Amazon Machine Image.

...(900 votes but not even Under Consideration)

its tallys 10 points per vote, so really only 90 votes- really not a very robust topic.

Thanks for the correction re: 10 points per vote. My goof. But 90 votes doesn't seem too terribly bad. Thanks also for decrypting the AMI acronym. 🙂
