Here is who is using IBM's cloud services  in Saudi Arabia, India, Mexico, Malaysia, Korea and Brazil:

ClickBalance, an online business management company based in Mexico, uses SoftLayer to run a proprietary business management system delivering online business processes and management features, such as accounting, finance, management, suppliers management, human resources and billing to more than 3,000 small and medium sized businesses in Mexico.

LookHunters, an e-commerce site designed to sell clothing from independent designers that also has editorial content, chose SoftLayer’s cloud to support rapid increases in traffic it has been experiencing monthly.

Malaysia’s KPJ Healthcare uses IBM's services for a national infrastructure that provide healthcare services for more than 3 million patients.
