IBM's cloud initiative repackages its familiar offerings
October 7, 2008 By Ephraim Schwartz (InfoWorld)

Although the Bluehouse effort appears to be something IBM has been doing for a considerable number of years through its datacenter services, Mitchell hinted at doing something more, resolving an issue that has recently been swirling around the use of cloud solutions. "We are working with our partners using SOA to develop open clouds as opposed to proprietary clouds as in the past."
The difference between what IBM is offering and others, says Mitchell, is that an open cloud environment will give users more interoperability and more connections to partners.
