IBM has announced with little fanfare that its Bluemix cloud development platform will gradually assimilate all of the SoftLayer portfolio of public cloud services, making them part of the Bluemix brand.
Initial details were announced on the SoftLayer blog over the weekend, with much of the discussion revolving around the implications for existing SoftLayer customers.
But there are also implications for Bluemix, which can now become more competitive with clouds that have had better presence in multiple geographic regions.
