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.

Total annual benefits were close to $30,000 per 100 users, generating a 500% ROI over 3 years with a payback period of 6.3 months.
IDC: Selecting the Optimal Path to Private CloudEMC
The document discusses three approaches to building a private cloud infrastructure: integrated infrastructure systems, reference architectures, and building your own systems. It finds that integrated infrastructure systems reduce overall costs by 55% and time to deployment by 65% compared to traditional approaches. Reference architectures also provide advantages in reducing costs by 25% and deployment time by 25%. Both approaches deliver significant benefits in efficiency and agility over building systems independently.
Many customers have deployed end-to-end workloads that span their enterprise or midsize organization. Multitier computing has taken hold, leveraging components of end-to-end workloads that span the computing systems of many departments and divisions in large enterprises and midsize businesses. Although the applications have "grown up" on separate servers — large and small — the overall business would benefit if they could be brought closer together.

This reference architecture document describes deploying the VMware vCloud Enterprise Suite on the IBM PureFlex System hardware platform. Key points:
- The vCloud Suite software provides components for managing and delivering cloud services, while the IBM PureFlex System provides an integrated hardware platform in a single chassis.
- The reference architecture focuses on installing the vCloud Suite management components as virtual machines on an ESXi host to manage consumer resources.
- The IBM PureFlex System provides servers, networking, and storage in a single chassis that can then be easily scaled out. This standardized deployment accelerates provisioning of cloud infrastructure.
- Deployment considerations cover systems management using IBM Flex System Manager, server, networking, storage configurations
