SQream DB (http://www.sqream.com) is an SQL analytics database which uses GPUs.
It is on both AWS P2 and Azure NC machines, and it can do very fast analytics on hundreds of raw terabytes on those.
Having said that, on-premise or bare-metal is about 25% faster than AWS P2 for large datasets (over 2TB). For smaller datasets that may fit in-memory, they function about the same.
