• Apps Moving Into the Cloud
  by Michael Feldman, HPCwire Soundbite Podcast

  Michael Feldman, Editor of HPCwire and Addison Snell, CEO of Intersect360 Research talk about the latest applications that are being moved into the cloud. Parabon's Frontier Grid Platform is showcased as an example of what they think is "the most significant business model for cloud and HPC, which is taking a step towards SaaS in the cloud." (The discussion of Parabon starts about half-way into the webcast.)

• NASA Looks to Move Science Apps Into the Cloud
  by Michael Feldman, HPCwire

  It seems only natural that the US space agency would be casting its eyes toward the clouds. Sure enough, NASA is now looking to cloud computing to optimize the operation of the agency's IT infrastructure for some of its science codes. Like many commercial businesses and government organizations, NASA is being asked to do more computing with fewer datacenter resources.

• Simulation Technology Heads for the Cloud: NASA Taps Parabon to Develop Web-based Simulation Technology
  by Nick Wakeman, Washington Technology

  The price tag might be small, but the effect could be groundbreaking as Parabon Corp. takes on a NASA project to develop simulation technology that can served up through any standard Web browser.

• NASA building cloud service for climate modeling Parabon grid computing platform: fueling NASA's software-as-a-service platform
  by Jon Brodkin, Network World

  NASA is aiming to improve its climate research capabilities by creating a software-as-a-service interface for scientists and students who need to build complex climate models.
  

  "I hate to use the term 'cloud computing' because I've heard the term so much and I'm sick of it... But the fact of the matter is this is a very good cloud computing model and we're going to save a lot of money doing it. I'm very excited."
