Cloud computing is a new way to deliver and consume IT services. Mid-sized companies can use OSI Datatech’s cloud computing offerings to build a private cloud or to access IBM Cloud offerings when they need them without significant capital outlays. Implementing cloud does not mean rip and replace! Mid-sized businesses can use IBM cloud computing offerings to extend existing computing environments by leveraging their existing investments in server consolidation, virtualization and automation. They have the option of building out their own cloud environment. Private cloud represents revenue opportunities for IBM Business Partners including for example: advising clients on how best to proceed, assisting clients in extending their computing environments through virtualization and selling and deploying private cloud solutions for clients.
