IBM opened a new SmartCloud for Social Business Data Center in Ehningen, Germany.
IBM said the new facility will help businesses follow the lead of customers such as Arnold Clark, Codorniu, Shanks, Centrax TCL and Development Alternatives Inc (DAI), who are already using IBM’s cloud-based social business services.
The new data center joins other SmartCloud for Social Business facilities in North America and Asia Pacific.
IBM has previously said that its cloud revenue grew by 80 percent in 2012. IBM supports the EU and Swiss Safe Harbor frameworks and model clause agreements to address EU data privacy requirements for the cloud.
