I see FOUR lights!!

I see that NASA has enough funding to sell itself as a supplier of IT
services of last resort. At least, I think that's what it says, given that
the encrustation of B-School logorrhea on that site is making me dizzy.*

I'm interested in what their terms of service might be. How do they do
backups? What's their assessment of Lustre stability, especially w.r.t
users who might have high-uptime requirements? What if I need a database
that isn't MySQL? And so on...

 (...and I work every day at the place that coined the term
"Cyberinfrastructure(TM)", so this is no mean feat.)
