To accelerate the shift from experimentation, development and assessment to full scale enterprise deployment of cloud, IBM is building out our existing cloud portfolio with the IBM SmartCloud, a series of next-generation, enterprise cloud technologies and services offerings for private, public and hybrid clouds.
We are bringing to bear IBM services, software, hardware, research and best practices from decades of experience of enabling IT as a key driver for enterprises to achieve new business value. For the first time, enterprise clients will be able to select key characteristics of a public, private and hybrid cloud to match workload requirements from simple Web infrastructure to complex business processes.
