Dell buys Clerity in latest bet on cloud computing

ROUND ROCK, TEXAS: Dell has bought business software company Clerity Solutions, the PC maker’s latest bet on cloud computing.

Cloud computing is meant to save money and space by letting businesses keep their innovation in far-flung data centers to put it more exactly than on individual machines on-site. Workers can at the time retrieve computer programs and documents from any device that’s connected to the Internet.

Clerity’s innovation helps companies migrate from older computer networks to new IT systems, including cloud computing. Clerity said its services help clients automate that transition, which it says can cut down on the cost and time of retesting systems and retraining IT workers.
