Cloud computing at IBM

Researchers seeking smarter ways to tackle the most complicated computing tasks think they've found the answer in a cloud. However they are not referring to the kind that drifts across our skies.

What they are talking about is something called cloud computing, which aims to deliver supercomputing power over the internet.

Cloud computing involves people using a shared infrastructure to access IT services and is driven by the growth in recent years of technologies like social networking and streaming media.

Dublin 15 based multi national IBM is the latest to adopt cloud computing and the company recently announced the creation of 21 new jobs at its Innovation campus in Damastown at what will be Europe’s first cloud computing centre.

The centre will serve as a European hub to provide research and services to a number of satellite facilities which will be built in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

Speaking at the company’s official announcement of the new project, Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Micheál Martin TD said "the selection of Ireland as the location for IBM's European hub for cloud computing highlights Ireland's role as an important contributor to IBM's global research, development and innovation strategy."
