We were inspired by our friends at AeroFS to do a little show-and-tell and solicit some feedback. Specifically, we'd like to know:
- Is it apparent what we are actually selling?
- Is it apparent how it is different from other cloud / virtualization stacks?
- What are some key things we should focus on to increase conversions (i.e. to get more people to sign up for trials etc)?
Any feedback/advice on who we should be targeting both for our current compute farm product as well as customer development for our upcoming enterprise product is also much appreciated.
Of course, any other feedback/advice is also appreciated!
Thanks! Yeah, the "VM fork" thing is something we have trouble getting across to the general population. That probably should have been the title of this post though.

Thanks in advance, Tim
"GridCentric enables on-demand scale by distributing virtual machine state to hundreds of processors in seconds."
Or more specifically, the concept of being able to "fork a VM into hundreds of instances in seconds."
That's what I'd want to see as a big tagline somewhere. Also I'd want to see a few concrete scenarios where this is super useful.
