Hi Stephan,

currently not, as most people will have a problem with the complex 
installation process.

What's possible and might also fit you needs, if you use a centralised 
storage solution, is to use the same piwik installation (on file basis) 
on different hosts (over the symlink).
The piwik-database needs to be in the one of TYPO3 - sry, but this is 
the current state.


TYPO3 Database <-------- TYPO3 Host with piwik -------> SAN, NAS
      ^^----------------- Piwik Host            ---------^^

So Piwik can be delivered via the TYPO3 host and via the piwik host.

To solve the database problem there is the idea to allow a prefix for 
the database table which will be appended with a '.' so that a different 
database, on the same host, can be used for piwik.

Thoughts:
Perhaps there will be a solution based on http://www.single-signon.com/ 
DiretSSO for TYPO3. The main Problem is finding a SECURE and EASY way of 
sessionsharing between different hosts, what is basicly against the same 
orign policy...
