Today, Sun launches Internet-based access to a public compute utility called Sun Grid. Now, anyone in the U.S. can get flexible, metered access to enormous computing power over the network for the affordable price of $1/CPU-hr.
The Network is the Computer
Sun is the first and only vendor to deliver access to compute power as a utility service over the network for a pay-per-use price. The U.S. pilot release of the Public Sun Grid is a simple, highly scalable, and secure computing resource available to developers, scientists, academics, and enterprises.
“ Using Sun Grid, we were able to cut our development time from three months to one week--and this is amazing. ”
— Francisco De La Vega, Applied Biosystems
The beauty of Sun Grid is in its simplicity. You are not required to commit to a long term contract, there are no hidden fees, and you can increase or decrease your usage of compute power based on your needs. You don't need to make a reservation or negotiate the price and terms--you simply request an account at www.network.com, purchase hours through PayPal with your credit card, and you're on your way. It's that simple.
