The lovely folks at IBM analyst relations sent an email out this afternoon going over an organization note on IBM’s cloud computing work, to quote from the email:<\/p>\n

\nErich Clementi<\/a>, Vice President, Strategy and General Manager of Enterprise Initiatives, has been named by IBM’s Chairman Sam Palmisano to define and coordinate IBM’s Cloud Computing offerings and business strategy.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This was pretty much an organization announcement. But, tangentially on the topic of what they’d be up to, there was this quote from Erich:<\/p>\n

\n“This is a new paradigm in our industry, and it plays to IBM\u2019s strengths: open standards, service oriented architecture, service management, scalable systems and excellence in data center operations,” Clementi said. “This is a unique opportunity to lead as we did with e-business and the rise of Linux and open source.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Stacy Higginbotham<\/a> has more tech-details about what could be in the Blue Cloud over at GigaOm<\/a>: Hadoop and Tivoli\u2019s Workload Scheduler<\/a>. John “the cloud to everyone’s silver lining”<\/a> Willis is fond of talking about Tivoli Provisioning Manager in relation to IBM’s cloud efforts.<\/p>\n
