I really don't see the "news" aspect here. Systems like this have been available from a slew of vendors like Colfax International and Penguin Computing for years now (heck, even from Dell). Plus it's really a bad time to release a "tesla system" since NVidia's new Fermi core just debued and it's general processing power via CUDA is far more powerful and capable than the current generation teslas.
