Optimize Innovate

Evolving requires two approaches to enable a Hybrid Enterprise

Focus on Operational Costs• Consolidation and modernization• Operations Automation • Risk and compliance Management • Manual policy to analytics driven

optimization

Focus on Speed and Agility• Assemble solutions from verified

components and services• Fast deployment and redeployment• Agile to DevOps model• User first delivery model

MonitoringLifecycleManagement

What is a Pattern?The pre-defined architecture for each component of the application (i.e. database, web server, etc) in a deployable form with full lifecycle management.

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

Understanding how patterns of expertise work

Patterns address the most significant cost & time factors to deliver superior results.

Agility: Faster time-to-value

Efficiency: Reduce cost & resource

Simplicity: Simpler skills requirements

Control: Lower risk and errors

Self-Service Catalogue

dev qa prod

• Provide self-service access to environment provisioning

• Orchestrate configuration changes across all data center (or cloud) components

• Control changes with custom approval workflows

• Deploy patterns for IBM and non-IBM software

• Adopt hybrid cloud with integrated systems, existing hardware (on-premise), or cloud (off-premise)

• Simplify enterprise-grade qualities of service such as HA, DR, scaling, caching, monitoring, license management, etc.

• Automate, version, and audit application changes across the development pipeline

System,Service,

Software.

• Inherit principles of devops and reduce your error rates

Post-SDLC Activities

• Medium term (multi year) focus

• Large scale investments• No room for error,

difficult to test ideas

• Long elapsed time between Analysis & Implementation

• Focus on waterfall, little opportunity to iterate

• Focus on as-is, doesn’t account for ‘evergreening’ of platform and lifecycle management

• Shorter term focus (weeks or months

• Ability to experiment & test ideas

• Smaller, incremental investments

• Ability to iterate & continuously integrate• Reuse & composition of patterns reduces design time• Automation reduces planning and greatly accelerates

build & implementation whilst reducing rework due to errors

• Continuous integration allows for ongoing lifecycle management e.g. O/S and middleware currency

OpenStack Support

Use key OpenStack APIs to quickly import and deploy images Existing OpenStack CLI client support minimizing effort required

to invoke PureApplication from existing OpenStack automation, such as Chef recipes

Improves portability across multiple cloud platforms Moving up to Ice House Level of APIs

Easily deploy OpenStack workloads onto PureApplication System

© 2015 IBM Corporation

1. Build, deploy and run Patterns with Docker containers on PureApplication System, Service and Software

2. PureApplication brings Enterprise-grade lifecycle management to Docker

3. Included private Docker registry Pattern deployable as a shared service

+Enterprise Strength Docker

Improved Performance• Faster application deployment, start-up and scaling 92% faster vs.

VM deploy• Higher density deployments 7.8X more containers vs. VMs on

same HW• Vmware provides capabilities currently lacking in Docker (e.g. vMotion)

Portability, Hybrid Cloud, Open ecosystem, Productivity• More seamless workload movement in hybrid & borderless cloud scenarios• Access thousands of pre-built applications on DockerHub

Docker and Patterns: Better Together

What Is Chef?

Chef is a technology that supports automation of how you build, deploy, and manage infrastructure

It is a client / server technology that allows the user to define automation from a central server

Endpoints include a chef agent that communicates with the central server

Automation is described in text files called “recipes”

VM

1. Set up PureApp SW on-prem or in Azure (8 cores, 80 GB memory)

2. Provide your Azure account certificate to PureApp SW (so created VMs are billed to your Azure account)

3. Begin deploying patterns to Azure4. Optionally export/import patterns

between Azure & other clouds
