As IBM write : “The time has come for a new class of systems: one that combines the flexibility of general purpose systems and the simplicity of an appliance with integrated expertise tuned to the task. These new systems offer a simplified overall experience to fundamentally change the economics of IT. Not only will it revolutionize operations, your entire enterprise will benefit from immediate access to the collective knowledge of thousands of deployments and millions of lessons learned.”
So what are PureSystems?
Based around a completely new Chassis design, with advanced cooling and management functionality, the PureFlex solution combines :
Intel and POWER blades, up to 14 per chassis, with up to 32 power cores or 2 of the latest ‘Sandy Bridge’ Intel processors and the highest density memory capacity in its class.
Support for AIX, iOS, Windows, Linux and designed with Virtualisation in mind – VMWare, Hyper-V and more.
Integrated storage solutions based on IBM’s highly successful V7000 storage architecture.
Integrated FC and Ethernet switching solutions, including FOD ‘feature on demand’ activation for functionality, offering 16gb FC and up to 40gb Ethernet.
IBM are confident “These systems are much more than a static stack of pre-integrated components. Instead, they integrate expertise in a way that helps organizations implement and manage new IT capabilities much more efficiently than was previously possible achieving breakthrough results.”
Perhaps most intriguing though will be the IBM Application Cloud (PureApplication), allowing users to download ‘patterns’, software and importantly a meta data ‘configuration’, which combined can significantly reduce the configuration/deployment cycle, and therefore deliver immediate and substantially improve ROI’s. IBM demonstrated deployment at the launch using ‘four clicks’.
As IBM solution experts, Applied Technologies are at the forefront of all IBM announcements, have the pre-sales and post sales resources and are waiting to talk to you about PureSystems and your environment.
If you are currently considering an IBM Intel or POWER investment, you should evaluate PureFlex/PureSystems.
