Cloud Computing: Do Business Decision Makers Understand The Benefits?

Cloud computing and its ability to offer a shared resource pool for computing, networking, and storage makes it ideal for the compute-intensive HPC application arena.
"The amount of interest in private cloud was higher than anticipated," says Randy Clark, chief marketing officer for Platform Computing. “Cloud computing is definitely a priority,” he says.
