If using sflow - especially that sampling rate - should be no problem.
Where will your probes / exporters be? On the cloud switches or your
edge - or both? You can always use ntop with libpcap to capture stuff
and export those using netflow as well - but if the basic traffic
accounting is all you need, stick with the sflow.

Subject: [Ntop] NTOP Deployed to Cloud Best Practices?
I am using an NTOP instances in-house to monitor a 96-port (gigabit
ports)
HP ProCurve using sFlow. There is an initiative to move our servers to
the
cloud- either Amazon EC2 or some other hosted Xen-based virtual server
offering.
In general, I am wondering if anyone has opinion regarding whether it is
realistic to monitor all LAN and WAN activity the way we do now (1 out
of
every 50 packets is sampled) or is the latency going to create problems
for
us?
