IBM to Acquire SoftLayer
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'.
