There aren't any full-time two-way players in football anymore (players
that can play both offense and defense), but the concept still works in
business. IBM's (NYSE:IBM) purchase of SoftLayer seems to be just that sort of situation – an acquisition
that will allow the company to grow its cloud business (offense), while
also offsetting some of the potential risks that public clouds
represent to its mature hardware business (defense). While it's a
logical deal (and at a seemingly fair price), IBM is already pretty
well-regarded by the Street in terms of stock valuation.
