IBM Services are Awesome for Cloud Computing

Companies such as IBM are getting back into the cloud computing business after the utility computing craze that happened thirty years ago. Their product, called Blue Cloud, is targeting the financial services market to assist those clients with their back office processing work.  



The idea is to make corporate data centers more open and accessible like the internet. A highly lucrative market, IBM hopes to add this as a meat and potatoes service to their range of consulting services that they avail to Fortune 500 companies. IBM knows what they are doing on this, since they have decades of experience with building and managing corporate data centers.

IBM is doing a lot of research on the topic of cloud computing technology, and has opened several research centers around the world dedicated to studying the potential uses of the technology in the future. In fact, it was its Almaden Research Center where IBM first started researching cloud technology for engineers to run DB2 databases on Linux servers.

One such research center, located in Shanghai, China is working on many different issues related to cloud computing which includes factors such as, resource utilization, application workload and power consumption for smart scheduling on workload migration and saving unnecessary power consumption.

Outside of the business sector, IBM and Google have decided to partner up and provide cloud computing research to science foundations as well as institutions in hopes of doing advanced research on how the cloud can best benefit what will probably become mass scale enterprise cloud computing at some point in the next few years. While IBM offers its expertise in building out large scale networks, Google has the data to parse through all of those servers for study.
