Hi guys.

I'm appologizing in advance to the guys who will tell me this isn't a tech/server/IT issue!

But I've been beating my head around this for a couple of days now.

I'm trying figure out who to talk to, or which company I can approach to try to see if there are Grid/Cloud Computing companies who have programs setup to deal with colleges.

I'm dealing with a compsci course, and we're looking at a few projects that would require a great deal of computing/computational resources. But in calling different companies (HP/Rackspace/etc..) I'm either not getting through to the right depts, or to the right people, or the companies just aren't setup for this.

There are plenty of companies who have discounts for desktop software/hardware, but who in the biz deals with discounts/offerings for Cloud/Grid Computing solutions??

Any thoughts/pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
