<div dir="ltr">Haha, I offer the usage of my two computer Beowulf cluster up 'as a service'. I guess it makes sense, though, as data centers cost a bit, and everything that costs a bit of money gets turned into a service...eg.

As it says 'Data-centre-as-a-service'<br>
A shared data centre, outside the centre of the city, used by several research inistitutes and universities.<br>
I have been involved in preparing bids for equipment there, including the innovative eMedlab project.<br>

Ugh. Can we please stop tacking 'as-a-service' on to everything these days? I'm starting to hate 'as-a-service' almost as much as 'cloud' and 'big data'. While I get the point he's trying to make. It's really just an off-site colocation facilty whose cost is shared between the different partner institutions.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
