Why Read This Report

After two years of concerted effort to engage enterprises in a dialogue about cloud computing, IBM has delivered substantive solutions based on these discussions. Its offerings are a cross-business-unit set of workload-focused solutions that bring cloud value in-house and lay the groundwork for leveraging hosted solutions as a supplement to these initial efforts. It has also brought forth a turnkey "cloud-in-a-box" solution that can fast-track an implementation for businesses. Forrester applauds these initial efforts, as they show true understanding of the cloud computing value for enterprises.
