IBM Expands into cloud computing market
The acquisition of leading cloud integration company Cast Iron Systems will position IBM as leader in cloud computing technology
IBM will expand into cloud computing services with the acquisition of California-based Cast Iron Systems, a leader in cloud integration software, appliances and services.
Cloudcomputing allows businesses to reduce costs and improve efficiency in the workplace. The cloud computing market is expected to grow significantly over the next few years, from $47 billion in 2008 to over $126 billion in 2012.
The acquisition allows IBM to help businesses adopt cloud computing applications and on-premise systems and integrate them into their current system. IBM will also improve their capabilities for the hybrid cloud model, which allows businesses to integrate data from on-premise applications with both public and private cloud systems. Since Cast Iron uses hundreds of pre-built templates, there is no need for custom coding, allowing the integrations to be made within the span of days not weeks, saving their clients both time and money.
“The integration challenges Cast Iron Systems is tackling are crucial to clients who are looking to adopt alternative delivery models to manage their businesses,” said Craig Hayman, general manager, IBM WebSphere in a statement. ”The combination of IBM and Cast Iron Systems will make it easy for clients to integrate business applications, no matter where those applications reside. This will give clients greater agility and as a result, better business outcomes.”
IBM is expected to support and enhance the technologies of Cast Iron Systems. In addition, their clients, including Peet’s Coffee & Tea, salesforce.com, and PGP Corporation, will benefit from the IBM portfolio of technologies and services.
The employees of Cast Iron systems will be fully integrated into IBM.
