IBM partners with EU to push cloud adoption in Europe
By SearchCloudComputing.com staff 09-Jul-2010
IBM has announced that it will partner with the European Union, European academic institutions and industry in the EMEA to push the adoption of cloud computing services.
Building on its core ability of doing very complicated things, IBM said the project will focus on developing a new model for speeding up the process of integrating e-services with existing business processes to lower the barriers to adoption from months or years of planning to weeks and days.
"Called Artifact-Centric Service Interoperation (ACSI), the project tackles the challenges faced by most e-businesses today in simplifying and streamlining the costly process of blending multiple, separately managed e-services into a dynamic, organic whole," Big Blue said in the announcement.
Significantly, IBM is throwing its weight behind free, open source technology and snubbing proprietary third-party software (unless it's IBM's, of course) in the project.
