The purchase makes sense, though I would have thought they have all the cloud parts they need in house. Is this more of an application play?

  25k customers paying into this cloud is also pretty valuable for IBM

    IBM had 104 billion in revenue and 16 billion in earnings last year. I'm not sure I see 25,000 SL customers, most of whom are quite small, as substantially more than noise on IBM's books.

      this acquisition buys credibility for IBM in the 'cloudosphere'.
