This does seem very nice, but read the following:
"Optimized for the execution of HPC applications by the Penguin Computing staff"
I do hope they make it available on a self service basis, so that users can install their own software. Because if users are not allowed to install their own software, it is not very different from what we all already offer in Grid, Cluster and Supercomputing...
However, it is very nice to see that there are commercial HPC Cloud interests...
