• Pre-integrated across components

• Pre-configured & tuned

• Pre-configured monitoring & security

• Pre-installed on an operating system

•Lifecycle Management

• Expertise

• Repeatability

• Simplicity

• Agility

• Governance

• Elasticity

What is a Pattern?


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

• 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
