Today's infrastructure blends in house development with off the shelf products and in environments where scalability has never been more relevant. Rapid deployments and provisioning of new systems is likewise paramount to meet future challenges quickly and efficiently. The Pure Application System enables customers to meet the dynamic needs of their mixed environments easily and efficiently supporting the blended makeup that is reality for todays IT demands. Come and learn how IBM can enable your environment to support your specific application services in a private cloud hosted on Pure! Presenter: Geir Sjurstedt, partner director Ascendant.

upon testing of the IBM PureApplication System W1500-192 and W1700-608 deploying a single Virtual Application Pattern consisting of 2 WAS VMs, a DB2 VM, and updating the Elastic Load Balancer (ELB). The WAS VMs were allocated 4 vCPUs,
4 GB of memory and 12 GB of disk while the DB2 VM was allocated 8 vCPUs, 6 GB of memory and two virtual disks of 12 GB and 4 GB.
2Based upon testing of the IBM PureApplication System W1500-96 and W1700-608 with time measured from powering on the system to when it is ready to support application deployments
3IBM Competitive Project Office analysis of PureApplication System versus do-it-yourself (DIY) approach. DIY used nine blades (144 cores). IBM PureApplication System used three nodes (96 cores). Each system has the capacity to run 72 workloads, where
each workload can sustain a peak
throughput of 1,720 page elements per second

7. Gartner confirms our strategy and leadership position
"IBM PureApplication System, with ISV and channel partner
engagement, enables IBM to raise the bar on the level of
automation … in fabric-based infrastructures that other
vendors have not fully addressed“7
"The Patterns of Expertise technology enables faster
deployment of application and application infrastructure as
well as integrated monitoring and management and automated,
policy-driven elasticity and failover.“8
“PureFlex System can help consolidate and unify
heterogeneous ensembles of IBM systems (Power and/or
x86), hypervisors and OSs.” 9

9. Patterns: Support anything reliably and consistently
What the business wants…
Patterns:
● Topology
● Application
● Custom OS
● Script Packages
*
What’s required…
What a pattern automates…
• Pre-defined architecture of an application or
Cloud service
• Captures best practices for complex tasks
• Optimized into a deployable form for private
or public cloud
• Repeatable deployment with full lifecycle
management

10. Two types of Patterns
Virtual Application Pattern
●
●
●
●
●
●
Application Focused
JaveEE patern
Simple to deploy
Simple to update
Auto scales
○ policy options
All infrastructure modelling is automatic
Virtual System Pattern
●
●
●
*
Topology Focused
Specify layout
○ DB
○ WebServers
○ Anything
Script Packages
○ Custom scripts for post
initialization steps

11. Pattern Catalog
●
Catalog of Patterns
○ Like a marketplace
●
Similar to installing an app
○ adds new Pure
functionality
●
The list is growing every
day
●
Some patterns are simple
●
DB
WebLogic
GlassFish
Some patterns involve large
topologies

12. Control the patterns
●
Now use the patterns
●
Combine to make your own new template
GlassFish
Node.JS
●
Clone existing pieces
○ Extend through script packages
●
Reuse or create your own
●
Finally .. Publish and use it

13. Pattern usage
●
Select a pattern[s]
●
Now instantiate it
○ Answer a few
questions
●
Your new instance is fully
controlled from PureAS
WebLogic
DB
GlassFish
SharePoint
TomCat
Node.JS

14. Pattern Rollout
●
At Deployment time the
pattern is examined
●
The topology is dynamically
constructed
●
PureAS spins up instances
according to the pattern
●
Software deploymens occur
on the fly

15. Versioning your patterns
●
Every part of the pattern can be
versioned
○ pure-cli
●
Each sub pattern and the whole can be
controlled
●
Tag your new version and deploy it back
to pure
●
Even your VCS could be a pattern
stored inside of PureAS
●
GlassFish
Node.JS
Finally, associate your code with
versioned pattern!

16. Instance Management
●
Instance is managed
wholistically or per VM
●
Stop/Pause/Start the whole
instance
○ stops all VMs
●
Find problems and monitor
