No one outside of the bioinformatics division, save a few like myself that focus on scientific discovery, can access the cluster (or even know how to). As more and more biomedical research necessitates a bioinformatic component, I think a service like this would be quite useful. Pros: fast, inexpensive Cons: not using core services?
