Cloud Computing Saves Time, Money and Shortens Production Cycle

TAP's role is to prototype and deploy new IBM technologies with 100,000 early adopters who will test-drive and provide feedback on new applications. Based on their feedback, IBM decides which of the myriad new technology applications to move into production. Cloud computing offered TAP as a means to dramatically reduce the time required to provision physical and virtual servers, use only those IT resources when they were required and reduce the hardware and labor necessary to do the job.
