Well, all depends, because many companies use Cloud Computing
platforms like Amazon EMR. Vmware, Rackscpace Cloud for Hadoop
hosting:
http://aws.amazon.com/elasticmapreduce
http://www.vmware.com/company/news/releases/vmw-mapr-hadoop-062013.html
http://bitrefinery.com/services/hadoop-hosting
http://www.joyent.com/products/compute-service/features/hadoop

There a lot of companies using HBase hosted in Cloud. The last
HBaseCon was full of great use-cases:
HBase at Pinterest:

HBase at Groupon
http://www.hbasecon.com/sessions/apache-hbase-at-groupon/

A great talk by Benoit for Networking design for HBase:
