"It's exciting to present this award, in its first year of inception, honoring achievement at the extreme-scale leading-edge of cloud computing," said Nicole Hemsoth, Managing Editor of HPC in the Cloud. "After much collaboration with our editors and contributors, we came up with a list of winners who were truly pushing the envelope in high performance cloud computing, and really driving the technology forward. We'd like to congratulate all of our winners, and look forward to seeing the envelope being pushed in high performance cloud computing from the recipients for years to come."
