        Google and Amazon will probably tell you to host it on their kit/cloud

        I presume you're willing to pay... have a look and see who's churned out a few articles on the subject and seems to be well respected and try them

          PM me, I have some contacts at Google Enterprise and they'd be very happy to sell those ideas and services.

            Last consultancy I worked at does a lot of work with AWS, I can put you in touch or would you prefer to go direct?

            I want my account deleted and all of my information removed, I want to invoke my right to be forgotten.

              Does your client already use any services from those companies? If so, then you may already have a relationship with them and perhaps an Account Manager so you could approach them.

              I attended an event at my last company where the E-Commerce team had some senior guys from Facebook come to present at their team meeting. It probably helped that the company has one of the biggest e-commerce websites in the UK

                Want to go direct, as this is a bit of a political exercise, going via a 3rd party would water down the message.
