Hi all,

You can take a look at our cloud service www.cartodb.com. 

It runs on top of postgis 2.0 already. Dedicated instances can provide direct access to the database. Dedicated instances have around 16GB of RAM and very fast disks. 

On top of what data you would like to do the geocoding?

Best,
