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 and then built into the system
IBM PureSystems “patterns of expertise”
Patterns deliver superior results:
• Agility: Faster time-to-value
• Efficiency: Reduced costs and resources
• Simplicity: Simpler skills requirements
• Control: Lower risk and errors
Through unmatched expertise in:
• System design
• Infrastructure management
• Application deployment
• Data management
• Datacenter management
• High availability
and scalability
• Security
• Storage optimization
• Networking
© 2012 IBM Corporation 12
IBM PureSystems “patterns of expertise” Example: Web Application Deployment Pattern
Captures: • IBM’s decades of experience in helping clients design, build and
deploy new business applications
What is it? • Codified best practices for presetting configuration options by type of selected
Web application (e.g., high availability, high security, etc.)
What do you do? • Bring your data and application code, select the type of application you
want and everything else is handled for you in the background
What do you NOT have to do? • Understand the interdependencies and connections between your database,
application server, management, security, and the rest of the middleware
• Manually engage in the real-time management of your infrastructure
Result: Speed deployment of Web applications by 100x!

Enterprise Chassis Design

The Problem:
Node to node communication flows north-south
through the TOR, causing latency from request /
response traffic. Added network latency will
impact the overall workload the servers can
support.
Network Switching and Why it Matters
Nexus 6100
Cisco UCS
Communication
between blades
requires traffic
to Nexus 6100
The PureFlex Difference:
Do more with your servers and reduce
network delays. Node to Node
communication happens within the
chassis.
Why this matters: Reduces switch latency
Additional servers needed to overcome
performance loss in network delays
Low latency, web-serving, and database
apps create significant server to server
chatter and stress on the network
Communication
is contained
within chassis
