Singapore - 09 Oct 2013: In the new era of computing, businesses are looking for faster paths to the cloud to take advantage of the hybrid environments that maximize Big Data insights and provide innovative ways to share resources.
At InterConnect 2013 today, IBM (NYSE: IBM) unveiled new systems and solutions that address these needs by helping clients and managed service providers (MSPs) build private and hybrid clouds to get the most out of Big Data, social, and mobile workloads. These include PureSystems, Power Systems, Smarter Storage Systems, System x, and Technical Computing offerings that provide the flexibility clients need to quickly deploy clouds.
Clients are looking to leverage public clouds while still maintaining control of them. This is causing organizations to embrace private and hybrid clouds where they can more easily manage in-house resources as they adopt external cloud services. According to analyst firm Gartner, Inc., hybrid cloud computing is at the same place today that private cloud was three years ago; actual deployments are low, aspirations are high, and nearly half of large enterprises will have hybrid cloud deployments by the end of 2017. The firm indicates in the past three years private cloud computing has moved from an aspiration to a reality for nearly half of large enterprises, and hybrid cloud computing is now on the same trajectory.[1]
IBM is uniquely positioned to compete aggressively for public, private and hybrid cloud computing opportunities," said Tom Rosamilia, Senior Vice President, IBM Systems & Technology Group and Integrated Supply Chain. "The new IBM Systems and solutions provide superior efficiency and agility to help clients quickly deploy the right cloud infrastructure that best meet their needs."
With today's news, IBM also announced new software and services that can provide an easy on-ramp to line-of-business leaders to help them move key department workloads into the cloud for immediate returns. Building on its recent acquisition of SoftLayer, IBM is bringing new integrated cloud capabilities to the entire C-suite that can allow executives to accelerate cloud adoption for business transformation.
IBM PureSystems Simplify and Accelerate Cloud and Big Data
IBM is introducing new capabilities across the PureSystems family that can help clients of all sizes experience the benefits of expert integrated systems. New PureFlex offerings can simplify service delivery, accelerate system deployment and drive improved efficiency for cloud environments. Key among these are two updated PureFlex configurations - PureFlex System - Express and PureFlex System - Enterprise. The PureFlex System - Express, available as a single chassis configuration, offers an affordable entry price point suitable for SMBs and departmental deployments in larger enterprises. The PureFlex System - Enterprise with highly available multi-chassis configurations is designed for scalable cloud deployments with built-in redundancy for resilient operation. Both systems support choice of POWER processor and x86-based compute nodes. The PureApplication System for simplifying and accelerating cloud applications is now available in smaller, 32 or 64-core configurations on POWER7+ with enhanced performance, density and resiliency.
Since its launch last year, IBM has shipped more than 6,000 systems in over 100 countries where clients have already taken advantage of PureSystems. This includes a large number of MSPs who are using the systems to deliver cloud infrastructures for their clients. These include AMPORTS, HELPCard and Tracewell.
Complementing these two new configurations are new PureFlex and Flex System compute nodes, networking options, and The PureFlex Solution for IBM i, a complete, integrated system with an attractive alternative that allows existing SMB IBM i clients to reduce IT costs and complexity by consolidating i and Windows applications on an IBM PureFlex solution. IBM is also expanding and simplifying its PureFlex cloud support with an easy upgrade path to advanced SmartCloud offerings, as well as a new SmartCloud Entry offering that provides support for OpenStack. The PureFlex Solution for SmartCloud Desktop Infrastructure is optimized to deliver superior performance and flexibility to meet clients' unique desktop virtualization business needs.
IBM is also introducing PureSystems to address big data and analytics. PureData System for Analytics has a new cost-effective entry model, powered by IBM Netezza technology that enables business to gain insights on ever growing volumes of data, simpler and faster. To simplify big data for the enterprise, PureData System for Hadoop enables big data exploration in areas like social and text analytics.
IBM Power Systems Solutions Provide Building Blocks for Faster, Open and Big Data-Enabled Cloud Environments
IBM introduces a series of new Power Systems offerings that further support hybrid cloud environments and can simplify clients' ability to adapt to emerging business needs at a lower cost with superior choice and flexibility compared to commodity servers based on decades old, PC era design.
The new Power Systems Solution Edition for Service Providers allows for fast go-to-market with a pre-built, pre-installed cloud solution that is based on OpenStack support for SmartCloud Entry and PowerVC. The Power Virtualization Center product, IBM PowerVC, offers industry leading virtualization and management capabilities that can improve system resource efficiency and agility for virtual workload implementations. The new IBM PowerVP is a virtualization performance tool that helps clients respond to business needs faster by providing real-time insight through a graphical display. It enables further optimization of virtualized systems and helps identify potential performance bottlenecks.
