reports Intel's cloud computing program is on the rise:
Intel expects to more than double by the end of the year the 25 reference implementations for cloud computing it has available through its Cloud Builders program. The processor giant is leveraging interest in the trend to build closer ties with OEMs and others at a time when Intel's server franchise is under attack from alternative processor vendors.
Cloud computing involves running applications or accessing data on remote servers separated by a network "cloud." Amazon.com was one of the companies that pioneered the trend, selling to businesses extra time on the servers in its big data centers that run its online store.
