The Windows version of our latest enterprise distribution of R, Revolution R Enterprise 4.0, is now being delivered to subscribers and is also available for free download for members of the academic community. Revolution R Enterprise 4.0 is a major update, and includes many new and improved features:
- Based on R 2.11.1, the current release of the R. See the list of new features in R's language engine since 2.9.2 (upon which the previous release of Revolution R Enterprise was based) in the NEWS file on CRAN.
- Includes a new package, RevoScaleR, that provides scalable, fast (multicore), and extensible data analysis for large datasets with R.
- Includes the doSMP package (previously only available in Revolution R Community) for parallel processing on multi-processor Windows machines.
- Includes several improvements for R programmers in the R Productivity Environment, including: visual indicators for script status (not run, loaded, debugging); new code snippets for RevoScaleR; integration with Subversion for source-code control; load and/or debug multiple scripts at once; easily create solutions from a folder of R scripts.
- Available as Windows 32-bit and 64-bit versions, and 100% compatible with all packages available on CRAN.
If you're at a university anywhere in the world and want to use Revolution R Enterprise for research or teaching, you can download it free of charge. (If you're at a commercial or non-profit business, you'll need to purchase a subscription to get additional features included with Revolution R Enterprise.)
At the moment only Windows versions are available for download; the Red Hat version will be available later in the year. (Unfortunately for Mac users like me, we don't plan to produce a MacOS X version of Revolution R Enterprise until there's more demand from businesses. But we do offer the open-source Revolution R Community distribution on Macs, but it doesn't include any of the proprietary Revolution features.)

Thank you once again for making it freely available to the academic community.
Are there plans for an OSX version?

Hi Bruno, unfortunately there are currently no plans for a MacOS X version of Revolution R Enterprise.

Maybe you need to follow the Red Hat model and make all this proprietary stuff free/GNU compatible (like R). Many of us won't touch RevoScaleR even if it's free to academia because you don't release it under the same license as R. This smells more and more like SAS now.

@John, sorry, this is an old post. We no longer offer the community edition on Mac, just Windows and Red Hat Linux.
