IBM PureFlex System: Delivering Cloud Infrastructure Services Summary Sheet

Client Paint Points


Cost PureFlex System features included IBM SmartCloud Entry to enable rapid cloud deployments and reduce management costs.
Integrated infrastructure delivering compute, network and storage reduces physical space, HW/SW costs, maintenance, and
energy use.
Performance Featuring POWER7+, and the latest Intel EP processors, with integrated, optimized storage and high-performance networking,
PureFlex Systems deliver industry leading performance across all infrastructure elements.
Deployment Advanced provisioning reduces VM deployment from weeks/months to under five minutes. Rapid deployment of the broadest
range of applications and services across multiple platform and hypervisor environments.

Simplify, Accelerate Solution Delivery, Improve IT Efficiency


Simplicity A PureFlex System ships as a comprehensive, pre-integrated infrastructure system designed to be deployed in hours. As a
system that is integrated by design, a PureFlex System is simpler by nature.
 Components are configured to work together to optimize performance and offer the flexibility to customize to match
your requirements
 Single Point Management System manages up to 5000+ endpoints, 16 chassis, 224 servers with integrated control
across physical and virtual environments
 Integrated Virtualization and Efficient Resource Pooling provides easy automation and provisioning maximizes
utilizations
Accelerate The power of a PureFlex System lies in the combination of a virtualized, open architecture that provides choice along with deep
Solution integration and dynamic and simple management from a single control point.
Deployments  Preconfigured prior to delivery:
o Compute- With storage allocated
o Storage- Pre zoned

IBM PureFlex System competitive differentiators


Management Ease of Management: Ability to manage IT components from a single pane of glass reduces operating costs up to 80% from
existing environments and provides a safer operating environment.
PureFlex System is flexible and can handle a mixed UNIX and x86, networking, and storage environment. HP has a history of
'forced transitions', such as Itanium and EVA.

Economics and Superior IT economics and value: Integration compute, storage, networking, virtualization, and management together with
Value patterns of expertise can reduce implementation time to as little as one day and can deliver performance due to automated
system pooling of resources. Many HP offers are bundling, without the added value of integration.

Solutions and
Wide Ecosystem of solutions: PureFlex System runs over 10,000+ POWER and x86 applications. And, IBM has released
Cloud
several preintegrated solutions on PureFlex covering Cloud, VDI and others:

 PureFlex Solution for Cloud Backup & Recovery


 PureFlex Solution for IBM i
 PureFlex Solution for SmartCloud Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)
 PureFlex Solution for SAP Business Suite
 PureFlex Solution for Managed Service Providers
HP Converged portfolio has a handful of solutions, no deep integration.
