  • IBM Puredata System for Analytics Architecture a Platform for High Performance Data Warehousing and Analytics
    Front cover IBM PureData System for Analytics Architecture A Platform for High Performance Data Warehousing and Analytics Redguides for Business Leaders Phil Francisco Take advantage of the power and simplicity of a purpose-built appliance for high speed metrics Improve the quality and timeliness of business intelligence Query data quickly, efficiently, and economically Executive overview Success in any enterprise depends on having the best available information in time to make sound decisions. Anything less can waste opportunities, cost time and resources, and even put the organization at risk. But finding crucial information to guide the best possible actions can mean analyzing billions of data points and petabytes of data, whether to predict an outcome, identify a trend, or chart the best course through a sea of ambiguity. Companies with this type of intelligence on demand can react faster and make better decisions than their competitors. Continuing innovations in analytics provide companies with an intelligence windfall that benefits all areas of the business. When you need critical information urgently, the platform that delivers this information should be the last thing on your mind. The platform needs to be as simple, reliable, and immediate as a light switch, able to handle almost incomprehensible workloads without complexity getting in the way. It must be built for longevity, with a technology foundation that can sustain performance as more users run increasingly complex workloads and as data volumes continue to grow. Furthermore, to maximize returns to the business, it needs the lowest total cost of ownership. The IBM® PureData® System for Analytics, powered by Netezza® technology, transforms the data warehouse and analytics landscape with a platform that is built to deliver price-performance with appliance simplicity.

  • Power Systems Newsletter
    September 2012 POWER SYSTEMS NEWSLETTER UNITED STATES - EAST Send questions or comments to [email protected] (or to subscribe) IBM PureFlex System By Doug Herman – [email protected] In April 2012, IBM announced the world’s first expert integrated systems, the IBM PureSystems product family: IBM PureFlex and IBM PureApplication Systems. These two new members of the IBM PureSystems family are unique because they combine decades of IBM expertise in development and design of servers, storage, networking and virtualization to improve efficiency of infrastructure resources. These are cloud ready and the middleware is optimized and uses patterns of expertise so that hardware and software are tuned for the workload. The IBM PureFlex System is an Infrastructure as a Service system, with compute nodes, storage, networking, physical and virtual management and entry cloud management. The compute nodes can be any combination of two and four socket POWER7 servers along with two socket Sandy Bridge Intel nodes. PowerLinux compute nodes come in two and four socket configurations that run RedHat and SUSE Linux. The storage is Storwize V7000, which provides High Performance block storage, thin provisioning and advanced replication features: Flash Copy and Metro / Global Mirroring. The Storwize V7000 uses Easy Tier with SSD and HDD storage for automated storage balancing. There are two options for networking. The first is a QLogic 8 gigabit fibre channel switch that provides 14 internal and 6 external connections in either configurable or pass-thru options. The other is a Brocade 16 gigabit fibre channel switch in 12 port combination of internal or external ports.

  • IBM Pureflex System: the Next Smart Step in Enterprise IT Evo- Lution
    Marketplace Update November 2012 IBM PureFlex System: The Next Smart Step in Enterprise IT Evo- lution By Charles King, Pund-IT, Inc. Pund-IT, Inc. Contact: Hayward, CA Office: 510-383-6767 U.S.A. 94541 Mobile: 510-909-0750 [email protected] www.pund-it.com IBM PureFlex System: The Next Smart Step in Enterprise IT Evolution By Charles King, Pund-IT, Inc. Introduction For decades, corporate IT has been driven by two parallel, though not always complemen- tary, evolutionary trends: 1) the appearance of essentially new computing technologies and form factors, and 2) the steady expansion of business processes and use cases to which IT is applied. The chain of events that led to the appearance of mainframe, then scale-up Unix, then scale-out x86 systems offers one example of this transformation. So does the arrival of solutions which presage customer requirements, such as the development of highly flexible, integrated and compact blade server systems. More recently, these same trends have been manifested in two new classes of IT prod- ucts—cloud computing infrastructures and workload- or application-optimized systems and appliances. The former tend to leverage highly virtualized commodity server, storage and networking components and streamlined management tools. That makes them ideal for the easy deployment and quick integration that are so valuable in cloud data centers where rapid growth and flexible resource allocation play key roles. The latter cases often incorporate many of the same commodity hardware components, along with finely tuned middleware and application stacks which are factory- or client- integrated for particular workloads.
