PureApplication System Infrastructure Overview

Patterns of Expertise: Proven best practices and expertise for
complex tasks learned from decades of client and partner engagements that are
captured, lab tested and optimized into a deployable form
Monitoring
Lifecycle
Management
What is a Pattern?
• The pre-defined architecture of an application
• For each component of the application (i.e. database,
web server, etc)
• Pre-installation on an operating system
• Pre-integration across components
• Pre-configured & tuned
• Pre-configured Monitoring
• Pre-configured Security
• Lifecycle Management
• In a deployable form, resulting in repeatable
deployment with full lifecycle management
• Delivering superior results:
• Agility: Faster time-to-value
• Efficiency: Reduced costs and resources
• Simplicity: Simpler skills requirements
• Control: Lower risk and errors

Auto Scaling Managed environments scale up and down based
upon business SLAs you specify
Failover Failed virtual machines are replaced with new VMs
which are configured with the old VM’s identity
Load Balancing Web requests are automatically load balanced
across multiple virtual application servers
Security ACL’s for application sharing and management
access, LDAP integration for application security
Monitoring All components of virtual application environments
are monitored by PureApplication System
Lifecycle Management Built-in components are pre-configured, tuned, and
tested to enable efficient, minimal click deployment
and single point of maintenance
Built-in Web Application Pattern delivers proven expertise

Moving Forward: Start with Capturing Your Application System
Knowledge
 Graphically assemble your Application System infra setup & configuration
Palette containing
available components
and layers
The canvas is where you drag the
components, create linkages between
components and optionally add policies to
the components

Forming Your Application Pattern from your System
Knowledge
Virtual System Pattern
 A Virtual System Pattern represents a collection of application components,
behavioral policies and their relationships
 Core components of the pattern include web applications, databases, queues,
connections to existing resources, business process models, batch jobs,
mediations, etc.
 Core policies of the pattern include high availability, SLAs, security, multi-tenancy,
isolation, etc.

 Smooth response times under load with automated
vertical scaling
 PureApplication System offers options for scaling
patterns to address demand spikes:
– Vertical: increase CPU/memory resource
allocated to existing nodes/server instances
– Horizontal: add additional VMs, start additional
nodes/server instances, tie into existing
environment
– Combination: try vertical scaling first, then move
to horizontal scaling
 Decision to scale a pattern up is made based on
policies specified by user
– Types of policies available differ by pattern
Faster response times during usage spikes

Adding resource to an
existing VM takes seconds

 Produce license usage reports which meet
subcapacity licensing requirements
 Prevent license overages by optionally
taking action when a requested deployment
would exceed entitlement:
– Warn: send email to user and admin, but
allow deployment
– Enforce: reject deployment

*Note: Do It yourself used 9 blades (144 cores). IBM PureApplication System used 3 nodes (96
cores). Each system has the capacity to run 72 workloads where each workload can sustain a peak
throughput of 1720 page elements per second.
The labor savings and assumptions herein are estimates based on a labor model that uses data obtained on the percentage of
time customers spend on certain IT life cycle tasks. It is not a benchmark. As such, actual customer results will vary based on
customer applications, differences in stack deployed and other systems variations as well as actual configuration, applications,
specific queries and other variables in a production environment.
