IBM Establishes Cloud Computing Laboratory in Hong Kong

IBM is establishing a cloud computing laboratory in Hong Kong. The new facility will provide a global hub for Web-based messaging services to support IBM's emerging LotusLive (www.lotuslive.com/) cloud service portfolio, which offers company-to-company social networking and online collaboration tools.


IBM also announced the closing of the acquisition of Outblaze Limited's messaging assets. Privately-held Outblaze operates one of the largest online service platforms for the provision of secure, private-label email, collaboration and social media services to other service providers, telecommunications operators, corporations, academia, media and publishing companies. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
