CHANGING THE ECONOMICS OF CLOUD COMPUTING

“IT leaders are struggling to keep up with today's speed of change with the same resources

needed to run their existing IT infrastructure. Open hybrid cloud is the critical, next-generation

infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and platform as a service (PaaS) needed to enable business agility, contain IT cost

and eliminate dependence on expensive proprietary solutions.

The LENOVO and RED HAT partnership — two established leaders in the compute and open hybrid

cloud space — is long overdue and is the solution enterprise IT needs to be true enablers of

business agility and growth.”
