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.”
