IBM unveiled a cloud computing centre in Bangalore on Wednesday.
The centre will give enterprise customers including mid-market, universities and government bodies in India “immediate access to the resources they need to pilot cloud infrastructures and applications, and deliver new and innovative services to their customers”, the company said in a statement.
“The centre in Bangalore joins other new cloud computing centres in Korea, Vietnam and Brazil that have been announced today”, it said.
With this IBM has the largest network of cloud computing centres in the world. These centres will cater to an increasing demand in emerging markets such as India for Internet-based new computing models and skills.
IBM Cloud Computing Centres host computing activities for clients or provide access to expertise and infrastructures for clients to design and deploy their own cloud environments.
This computing model allows businesses and consumers alike to remotely access a vast computing resource that can be tapped on-demand to deliver next-generation services that consumers demand, like online medical records or mobile stock portfolio management.
It also improves energy efficiency because of its principle as a shared infrastructure, and allows organizations to better track information, pay for what they use and access more computing, storage, services or applications on demand.
