Cloud computing is a model for enabling on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources that can be acquired quickly and easily.
Cloud enables:
• Ubiquitous access to applications • Measured service/pay-per-use
• On demand self-service • Sourcing options• Economies-of-scale
Types of cloud:

Transformation to cloud begins with 3 key steps: virtualize, automate and optimized management
Physical hardware
Virtualizationmanagement
Systems management
• Consolidate and virtualize across Servers, Storageand Networks
• Monitor the virtualized environment
• Integrate virtualization management with IT service delivery processes
• Simplified deployment with virtual appliances
Self Service
Metering and Charging
Elastic scaling
• Record and test provisioning scripts for deploying cloud services
• Capture and catalog virtual images

The fact that IBM took top honors for Partnership and Support wasn't surprising to Jeff Wohlfarht, president and CEO of Advanced Concepts Inc., Milwaukee, who noted the personalized attention he receives.
“IBM makes us feel like we‘re the most important customer,” he said. “They really treat us as if we’re a top earner, when in reality, we‘re molecule-size.” CRN

“IBM notches a solid victory, topping all competitors by a wide margin. Raw performance is a category that IBM has won for the past three years – and last year, the margin was even wider.” Gabriel Consulting Group, 2010 GCG x86 Server Vendor Preference
“IBM built its rack servers to be rock-solid reliable. The servers deliver high availability with redundant, hot-swap power supplies as well as cooling fans. They feature IBM Predictive Failure Analysis and Light Path Diagnostics. Together, these features significantly reduce server downtime and in some cases, avoid failures altogether. The high reliability offered by System x servers means that businesses stay ahead of the competition while benefitting from enhanced investment protection and extended server lifespan.” John Spooner, Technology Business Research
“Customers see IBM’s System x brand as offering the best availability and reliability feature set.” Gabriel Consulting Group, 2010 GCG x86 Server Vendor Preference
