What is the price-range of the Viridis?

The approximate pricing for the Viridis platform is as follows:

A fully populated Viridis server – with 48 nodes and 24 drives – is around $50,000
The mid-range Viridis server – with 24 nodes and 24 drives – is around $30,000
The minimum configuration – with a single EnergyCard and four hard drives – costs around $10,000.

Uh, I don't think so.
