I prefer to describe it as a ring-fenced HPC system in an EigenForge data centre. There is no virtualisation layer and footprint on our systems so clients can enjoy the same benefits as if they were to buy the system themselves; but without the procurement woes or data centre build/upgrades cost and time delays. We have incorporated something further : clients do not need to commit to a 3 year term. Instead, how does 1 year sound? This way clients will effectively get a new HPC system every 12 months ... if thats what they would like. Apologies if this sounds like a sales pitch, but Amazon does get the limelight when in this case we have been about a year ahead of them :) With best wishes, Jason Hogan-O'Neill ---------------------------- Dr Jason J Hogan-O'Neill CEO and Founder Hi John,
