The Cloud Foundry suite, which has been in open beta since February, now boasts more than 50 services and has been adopted at a rate which, the company claims, makes it one of "the largest Cloud Foundry deployments in the world".

IBM launched Bluemix as part of a $1bn investment in cloud computing (http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/2341936/ibm-bluemix-gets-more-cloud-based-love), and it's a framework that allows users to create cloud based applications, slotting in open source services from the IBM Cloud Marketplace."
