In a summer<\/span> surprise this week, IBM announced it had closed<\/a> its $34 billion blockbuster deal<\/a> to acquire Red Hat. The deal, which was announced in October, was expected to take a year to clear all of the regulatory hurdles, but U.S. and EU regulators moved surprisingly quickly. For IBM, the future starts now, and it needs to find a way to ensure that this works<\/a>.<\/p>\n
