Here's a collection of services that offer ML-as-a-service or something similar, in case we decide to go that route.

• https://cloud.google.com/products/prediction-api/ – seems pretty limited to classification-like tasks, although I may be understanding it incorrectly
• AzureML:
  •  http://blogs.msdn.com/b/data-platform/
