Patterns of Expertise: Proven best practices and expertise for complex tasks learned from decades of client and partner engagements that are captured, lab tested and optimized into a deployable form

MonitoringLifecycleManagement

What is a Pattern?• The pre-defined architecture of an application• For each component of the application (i.e. database, web server, etc)

• Pre-installation on an operating system• Pre-integration across components• Pre-configured & tuned• Pre-configured Monitoring• Pre-configured Security• Lifecycle Management

• In a deployable form, resulting in repeatable deployment with full lifecycle management

• Delivering superior results:

• Agility: Faster time-to-value• Efficiency: Reduced costs and resources• Simplicity: Simpler skills requirements• Control: Lower risk and errors

At PureSystems Academy I tried to summarize with describing the mission behind why we built FSM. Maybe it would go well here? "...to provide best-of-breed experience in managing physical/virtual resources across compute/storage/network, optimizing those reosurces so clients business-critical workloads can thrive"

2. Compared with previous generations of IBM System x and BladeCenter HS22v servers. Specific client environments and results may vary.

3. Source: ITG study of actual client environment. Client results and IBM internal R&D estimates of overall management savings. Specific client environments and results may vary.

4. Sourced from IBM internal Research & Development estimates and published CISCO statements. This is a comparison with CISCO UCS for node-to-node traffic within a chassis. Ref: Cisco Unified Computing System: Announcing Third Generation of Fabric Computing - The Power of Unification, March 8, 2012. This is a comparison with CISCO UCS for node-to-node traffic within a chassis. Specific client environments and results may vary.

5. Sourced from whitepaper “Value Proposition for IBM Next Generation Platform System”, International Technology Group

6. Compared utilizing virtualized applications between Flex System and previous generation BladeCenter HS22V. Specific client environments and results may vary.

7. Compared with to previous generation blade servers. Specific client environments and results may vary.

8. Savings calculated based on the PureFlex System Consolidation Tool leveraging third party ALINEAN methodology, calculating systems costs to create a private cloud solution. The comparison was between over 30 non-IBM Unix servers and over 200 x86 based servers to one PureFlex System (26 compute nodes), supporting the same number of applications as virtual machines. The 3-year ongoing systems costs were 72% lower with PureFlex System. Potential migration costs excluded. Specific client environments and results may vary.

9. IBM internal Research and Development estimate comparing VMControl’s ability to automatically provision storage to a VM (90 second duration) vs. 2 administrators (storage and server admins) allocating the storage manually without VMControl (2 hour duration). Specific client environments and results may vary.
