It also depends on what they mean by cloud. If cloud is their Softlayer acquisition, I am not impressed.

I would love to see them build out a real cloud solution, perhaps even using datacenters full of their z15's. I can't imagine anyone competing with that on commodity hardware in terms of deployment speed and connectivity speed between instances in the same location. It would be crazy expensive though and I doubt they would ever consider it and someone at IBM would have to write a web interface / API into the system that mimics the options of all the current cloud providers.

They acquired RedHat, and with that came Openshift.
