Hi jwcrux, you can find more info on our website (http://www.mapd.com) and more specifically about the product here (http://www.mapd.com/product). In general, MapD is sold as licensed software but we sell to everyone from enterprise to startups, both on premise and in the cloud so if its of interest please write us at info@mapd.com.

I think the confusion may stem from the MapD logo on the story page linking to mapd.com/blog/ rather than mapd.com as would be more typical for a commercial interest.

Looking at the product page, is MapD hosted or do customers build their own servers?

Good point - yes the main website is at www.mapd.com and tells more about our product.

Customers can buy off-the-shelf GPU servers from Supermicro, Dell or HP with 2-8 GPUs or alternatively run on IBM Softlayer or Amazon AWS.

A good habit with blogs is to have the logo redirect to the main website when on the homepage of the blog (instead of redirecting to the homepage of the blog itself)
