Expert integrated systems are more than a static stack of well tuned
components—a server, some storage, networking and
database software, serving a fixed application at the top. Instead,
these systems are based on “patterns of expertise” which can
dramatically improve the responsiveness of the business.

Next Generation Data Center - IT TransformationDamian Hamilton
Computerworld CIO Event in Hong Kong sponsored by Dimension Data, EMC & Cisco.
Insights into Dimension Data's DC strategy and recent Client engagements
Next Generation Data Centre - IDC InfravisionDamian Hamilton
Recent Presentation made at IDC Infravision in Indonesia, discussing the emerging world of a Hybrid DC - one that has traditional DC components and a blend of cloud services.
Some client scenarios and case studies and thoughts around Active-Active DC, Right-sourcing Workloads in a Next Generation DC & building a Green DC Facility
Today, Federal IT faces some of the largest challenges seen in decades. Funding cuts, new & complex technologies and government mandates to virtualize, consolidate and move to the cloud have put even greater pressure on CIOs and IT staffs. As the government struggles with modernization and moves forward with such projects as VDI, Storage Virtualization, Data Center Consolidation and Cloud architecture; three of the most important things to consider are how to guarantee success, reduce risk and drive costs down. An emerging technology category, Infrastructure Performance Management (IPM), offers the unique ability deliver dramatic and comprehensive analysis of the physical, virtual and cloud components of any data center environment. The enterprise class data center has traditionally been one of the highest spend areas of Federal IT in addition to being highly complex, technically siloed, plagued with performance issues, and lacking true system-wide visibility.
As the leader in IPM, Virtual Instruments offers the industry's only real-time capability to uncover performance, health and utilization issues in the open systems storage environment. Failure to have real-time situational awareness can prevent mission success, increase operational risk and drive up costs. Beyond being an incredibly effective troubleshooting platform, our technology is helping 1/3 of the Fortune 100 (and several government agencies) cut IT costs by precisely identifying areas for optimization, performance tuning and cost savings. Our customers are able to stop over-spending & over-provisioning their storage environments, decrease SAN switch ports, and gain highly efficient & cost effective performance for the most mission critical applications.
This presentation shows that Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) Software to a Data Center Manager is what ERP software is to a VP - Manufacturing. This is the 2nd presentation from a series of 3-part series from GreenField Software on the subject: DCIM for High Availability.
DCIM Software charts out the relationship maps for assets by identifying various dependencies among them. Threshold-based alerts on critical parameters, combined with impact analysis of Move-Add-Change, mitigates risks of DC failures.
GreenField Software’s Mission is to help Data Centers control capital expenditures reduce operating expenses and mitigate the risks of Data Center failures. Besides DCIM Software, GFS offers Data Center Advisory Services in the areas of best practices, capacity planning, energy efficiency and business continuity of data centers.

Bending the IT Op-Ex Cost Curve Through IT SimplificationCognizant
CIOs can cut back operations expenditures (Op-Ex) and redirect the funds to strategic digital transformation by reducing IT complexity and rooting out inefficiencies while engaged in IT simplification.
Information systems are combinations of hardware, software, and telecommunications networks that people build and use to collect, create, and distribute useful data, typically in organizational settings.
Many businesses use information technology to complete and manage their operations, interact with their consumers, and stay ahead of their competition. Some companies today are completely built on information technology, like eBay, Amazon and Google.
The overwhelming challenges of IT infrastructure managementNIIT Technologies
CIOs are now looking at IT infrastructure management as a mean to drive business transformation. To transform the way businesses work, CIOs need responsive systems and processes to bridge the gap between operations and business. With this understanding, IT leaders need to align IT with business and manage IT infrastructure as a service model. This paper surveys the challenges service providers face in managing IT infrastructures. It also lists down solutions for the effective management of IT infrastructures.
This IBM Redpaper provides a brief overview of OpenStack and a basic familiarity of its usage with the IBM XIV Storage System Gen3. The illustration scenario that is presented uses the OpenStack Folsom release implementation IaaS with Ubuntu Linux servers and the IBM Storage Driver for OpenStack.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

2. 2 IBM PureFlex System
IT is moving to the strategic center of
business
Over the last 100 years information technology has moved from
a specialized tool to a pervasive influence on nearly every aspect
of life. From tabulating machines that simply counted with
mechanical switches or vacuum tubes to the first programmable
computers, IBM has been a part of this growth, while always
helping customers solve problems. Today, as the planet has
become smarter, IT is a constant part of business and of our
lives. IBM expertise in delivering solutions—solutions across
infrastructure, middleware and applications—has helped the
planet become smarter. And as organizations seek to extract
more value from their data, business processes and other key
investments, IT is moving to the strategic center of business.
Today, the IT systems we all depend on must adapt and perform
in the face of constant change and growing complexity in the
business environment. These factors place enormous strain on
traditional computing models. Businesses must drive innovation
and address new opportunities faster and better than ever before.
Users in all realms of their lives—business, personal,
entertainment—are raising their expectation levels for IT. They
want their needs to be met now and they want to specify how
those needs are met. IT must be able to meet these
expectations—adapting to new requirements quickly, growing
capabilities elastically, and still meeting basic reliability and
affordability demands.
Current IT models offer a range of approaches: you can use the
flexibility of general purpose systems to tune your own systems,
optimizing them for the business environment. But the time,
effort and skills this approach demands can be significant. You
maintain your own experts, dedicated to tuning these systems.
On the other end of the spectrum are appliances—purpose-built
systems that are designed to be easy to deploy and manage. But
appliances can limit your ability to adapt to changes in your
business. Cloud computing is another option, deploying
applications on flexible, pooled computing resources. But cloud
services can create a shared dependence where you don’t have full
control over your own data assets.

“Over the years our IT systems have become
complex and difficult to manage, and as a
consequence IT is increasingly finding itself in the
position of being a barrier to innovation rather
than an enabler of it.”1
—Gary Barnett, the Bathwick Group, The road to Smarter Computing
Many organizations find they are spending too much time,
money and effort simply “keeping the lights on” which prevents
them from putting the effort you want into innovation:
●●
More than 70 percent of IT budgets are spent on operations
and maintenance2
●●
When we do bring new capabilities on board—it takes too
long
●●
Complexity in IT solutions is inhibiting change and
adaptation
The result? You can’t deliver new business innovation at a pace
that meets the demands of the marketplace. To meet today’s
demands, you need a solid foundation of server, storage,
networking and software resources that can quickly and
automatically adapt to changing conditions. You need access
to—and the ability to take advantage of—broad expertise and
proven best practices in systems management, applications,
hardware maintenance and more.
A new category of IT systems: expert
integrated systems
The time has come for a new category of systems: systems with
integrated expertise that combine the flexibility of general
purpose system, the elasticity of cloud and the simplicity of an
appliance tuned to the workload—fundamentally changing the
experience and economics of IT. IBM PureSystems are the first
family of systems in this category, offering:
●●
Built-in expertise: capturing and automating what experts
do—from the infrastructure to the application
●●
Integration by design: designed together, the deeply
integrated and tuned hardware and software is delivered in a
ready-to-go, workload-optimized system
●●
Simplified experience: making every part of the IT lifecycle
easier with management integration across the entire system
and a broad ecosystem of optimized solutions, all designed to
work with your existing IT investments
Expert integrated systems are more than a static stack of well-
tuned components—a server, some storage, networking and
database software, serving a fixed application at the top. Instead,
these systems are based on “patterns of expertise” which can
dramatically improve the responsiveness of the business.
4. IBM PureFlex System

Patterns of expertise help deliver value simply and
efficiently
Patterns of expertise can automatically balance, manage and
optimize the elements necessary—from the underlying hardware
resources up through the middleware and software—to help
deliver and manage today’s modern business processes, services
and applications. They do so by encapsulating, into a repeatable
and deployable form, proven best practices and expertise gained
from decades of optimizing the deployment and management of
data centers, software infrastructures and applications around the
world. These patterns aren’t just a blueprint or set of instructions
to help you—the expertise is built in and ready to help you
achieve:
●●
Agility: As companies look to innovate to bring products and
services to market faster, they need fast time-to-value.
Expertise built into a solution eliminates manual steps,
automates delivery and supports innovation.
●●
Efficiency: To reduce costs and conserve valuable resources,
you need to get the most out of your systems with energy
efficiency; simple management and fast, automated response
to problems. Built-in expertise optimizes your critical business
applications to help you get the most out of your investments.
●●
Simplicity: You need a less complex environment. Patterns of
expertise help you easily consolidate diverse servers, storage
and applications onto an easy to manage, integrated system.
●●
Control: Optimized patterns of expertise accelerate cloud
implementations to lower risk by improving security and
reducing human error.
Expert integrated systems are formed from patterns of expertise
that represent the collective knowledge of thousands of
deployments, established best practices, innovative thinking,
IT industry leadership, and the distilled expertise of business
partners and solution providers. These building blocks span
compute, storage, networking and management resources.
There are three types of patterns:
●●
Infrastructure patterns bridge the base system infrastructure
elements like servers, storage, network, virtualization and
management
●●
Platform patterns support the middleware—database,
application servers and more
●●
Application patterns bring in expertise at the business
application level
5. 5
IBM PureSystems
Combining advanced IBM hardware and software along with
patterns of expertise, IBM PureSystems are available in two types
of expert integrated systems:
●●
Infrastructure systems: preintegrated compute, storage,
networking, virtualization and management
●●
Platform systems: optimized middleware preintegrated on
an infrastructure system
With expertise built directly into the systems, you staff will be
able to focus on driving innovation for your business, instead of
devising, testing and tuning custom integrated solutions.
Designed for the cloud, these systems are based on open
architectures for ease of integration with existing environments.
The end result is a simplified experience, from system setup and
solution deployment and through to day-to-day management
and ongoing enhancements and upgrades.
IBM PureFlex System
An IBM PureFlex System combines compute, storage,
networking, virtualization and management into a single
infrastructure system that is expert at sensing and anticipating
resource needs to optimize your infrastructure.
A PureFlex System includes integrated patterns of expertise
designed to automate and optimize the deployment and
maintenance of your workloads. Deployment expertise can
accelerate your time to value up to 100 times versus traditional
systems3
. Consolidation and management expertise from
thousands of successful data center optimizations drives
automation to significantly reduce manual processes that
consumes too many staff hours. Optimization expertise also
allows your infrastructure to flex to address unexpected demands
without requiring expensive surplus capacity.
This system is designed to provide a simplified experience and
reduce IT complexity without compromising the flexibility you
need. By delivering both simplicity and flexibility in a system
with integrated expertise, you can rapidly deploy IT services and
keep them running at the performance levels your business
demands while still managing cost.
Simplicity, control, efficiency and agility
The power of a PureFlex System is the combination of a
virtualized, open architecture that provides choice along with
deep integration and dynamic and simple management from a
single vantage point. These solutions deliver built-in
virtualization across compute, storage and networking within the
system, so you get superior automation and simple workload
optimization. Open and flexible, a PureFlex System is designed
6. IBM PureFlex System

to work with existing investments. And PureFlex Systems offer a
choice of system architectures, operating systems and
hypervisors, so you can carefully suit your solution to your
workloads. This architecture is designed to offer you four key
benefits:
Simplicity
A PureFlex System ships as a comprehensive, preintegrated
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
●●
Management integration from a single console streamlines
administration, enabling users to provision, deploy and
monitor resources and workloads
●●
Based on patterns of expertise, the system can also
intelligently optimize workloads and recommend the best
resources to support new workloads, reducing manual effort
Key tasks are designed to be simpler. Administrators can
provision a new virtual machine or deploy a predefined image
from an image library with the click of a button. From a single
interface, you can manage workloads across physical and virtual
resources, spanning multiple architectures, hypervisors and
operating systems. System administrators can create customized
alerts based on resource thresholds and automate responses to
many events. When more intervention is needed, you can find
detailed information on the system as a whole from a single
interface.
Control
A PureFlex System is designed to give you a simplified
experience so you get control and choice without increasing
complexity. You aren’t limited to a single architecture or single
vendor’s middleware; you can choose from a selection of servers,
operating systems and hypervisors, and design systems truly
optimized for the needs of your business. You can run and
optimize a broad range of workloads on a PureFlex System, and
you can adapt when your business needs change.
This combination of choice and control gives you an ideal
platform for consolidation. No matter what architectures and
operating systems you rely on now, you can consolidate the
workloads from many resource-consuming servers onto a single,
efficient PureFlex System. You can also consolidate storage into
your PureFlex System and virtualize storage across other storage
systems you might already have. And you control it all from a
single unified interface. Because the system is open, it can fit into
almost any existing infrastructure, supplementing current needs
and replacing systems as they are retired. You choose the pace of
your implementation.
7. 7
With the powerful yet easy-to-use management interface,
administrators can manage both physical and virtual resources—
even multiple systems. You can define a collection of virtual
server, storage and networking resources for a specific workload
and manage that collection as a single resource. For example, an
SAP landscape—the SAP database, application resources, and
associated development and test resources—can be defined as a
single workload.
Efficiency
IBM infused the expertise gained from its development of server,
storage and networking systems into the PureFlex System so you
get high resource utilization, reliability and performance.
Integration by design means that you get efficiency on all levels
of system design.
●●
Deep physical integration shrinks the IT footprint, saving
valuable data center floor space and requiring less energy for
operations
●●
Tuning to the task helps drive greater performance and
improve IT economics
●●
Dynamic resource allocation allows the system to adapt to
handle workload spikes, reducing the need for purchasing
additional resources
●●
Fewer cables, built-in networking, preloaded virtualization
and factory integration give you a simple package that can be
installed and running in hours
But this integration also extends to system availability. For
example, the system can proactively sense an impending
hardware failure. With built-in expertise, it can then relocate
workloads that depend on that hardware, giving an administrator
the opportunity to replace the failing hardware without
downtime. These kinds of capabilities are designed to give you
enterprise-class availability while still giving you the simplicity of
an appliance.
The PureFlex System is also designed to improve efficiency in
system management. The combination of integrated
infrastructure and advanced systems management capabilities are
designed to eliminate management and administration costs, so
you can redirect your experts for more important business
priorities. Some key capabilities include:
●●
Automated processes triggered by events help simplify
management and reduce repetitive administrative tasks
●●
Integrated service management can speed the test and
deployment of applications
●●
Centralized management and deep integration can
dramatically cut down on skills and training required for
managing and deploying the system
●●
Virtualization support for not only compute, but also storage
and networking assets enables workload mobility and
automated provisioning
8. IBM PureFlex System

Agility
The PureFlex System was “born virtualized” to offer
extraordinary agility and make your solution ready for cloud
computing. Through the centralized management capabilities,
you can control virtualized compute, storage and networking
resources, and built-in expertise allows you to automate their
provisioning. This means you can rapidly deploy new services,
speeding time to market and improving responsiveness to
changing business conditions. And this flexibility also helps you
protect your IT investment by addressing IT and business needs
now and into the future—at a rate and pace of adoption that you
control.
For example, if your software development organization needed
to rapidly build up and tear down development and test
environments, you could quickly provision such environments
and deploy application images from an internal image library in
seconds. This speed and agility supports dramatically increased
business velocity so you can respond quickly to IT and business
needs and take advantage of marketplace opportunities.
And this value goes beyond IBM. There are tens of thousands of
applications supported by the available hypervisors and operating
systems available on the PureFlex System. Many key applications
have been optimized for the PureFlex System so you can get
built-in expertise not just from IBM but from IBM Business
Partners as well. Expertise in tuning, configuration and
optimization of these applications can be built into your system
so you get fast application deployments, improved application
performance, and faster application upgrades.
