Big news today.  Two things actually.  

First of all, we have extended the Network.com service to include 24 countries.  Users in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, and United Kingdom can now tap into the power of Network.com and Sun Grid for HPC compute power, under the pay-as-you-go utility model.

Secondly, we've added a couple of really cool features.  One is "Internet Access" that allows an application running in Sun Grid at Network.com to access external data and services anywhere on the Internet.  Pretty handy for someone running, say DNA or protein modelling, and be able to tap into the public DNA databases instead of having to upload all the data to the grid, just to give you one example.                                           

The other features we're rolling out in Beta are Job Management APIs that provide programmatic access to Sun Grid at Network.com, simplifying the integration of Network.com into the enterprise datacenter.  This allows enterprises running their own HPC grid infrastructures to tap into Network.com for peak capacity or "overflow"  when their compute processing needs exceeds the capacity of their HPC infrastructure.
