IBM cloud computing:
Rethink IT. Reinvent business.
What is cloud computing?
Cloud computing changes the way we think about technology. Cloud is a computing model providing web-based software, middleware and computing resources on demand.
By deploying technology as a service, you give users access only to the resources they need for a particular task. This prevents you from paying for idle computing resources. Cloud computing can also go beyond cost savings by allowing your users to access the latest software and infrastructure offerings to foster business innovation.
