Following Intel’s public commitment to helping U.S. firms grow it announced this week that it would look to invest in cloud computing and mobility solutions over the next several months. These moves will lead to greater growth of the hardware market while feeding the booming software applications market as well and are in line with consumer demand. According to an interview with Intel, the focus outside of the general consumer market will be in the areas of green IT, healthcare, and bioinformatics–all of which are in the realm of HPC and cloud. Recent investments from Intel Capital have included Virtustream, which was a strategic investment to help Intel secure a role in the cloud computing movement.
