PureSystems is an IBM product line of factory pre-configured components and servers also being referred to as an "Expert Integrated System".〔(IBM Aims to Ease IT With Cloud-Friendly PureSystems ) April 11, 2012 at ''WIRED Cloudline''〕 The centrepiece of PureSystems is the ''IBM Flex System Manager'' in tandem with the so-called "Patterns of Expertise" for the automated configuration and management of PureSystems. PureSystems can host four different operating systems (AIX, IBM i, Linux, Windows) and five hypervisors (Hyper-V, KVM, PowerVM, VMware, Xen)〔(IBM launches PureSystems, touts integration, flexibility ) April 10, 2012 at ''zdnet.com''〕 on two different hardware architectures (Power Architecture and x86) simultaneously. PureSystems utilizes a converged system, which packages multiple information technology (IT) components into a single, optimized computing solution. == Architecture == The architecture itself is called IBM Flex System.〔(IBM RedBooks WebDoc - IBM Flex System Enterprise Chassis ) April 11, 2012 at ''redbooks.ibm.com''〕 It aims at managing hybrid cloud infrastructure environments "out of the box". The basic intention is for the combination of integrated hardware and software that can be easily maintained. A similar concept had already been introduced with the IBM AS/400. Today, such systems are called converged systems. More specialized integrated hardware and software are referred to as appliances. The compute nodes of the server blades can be x86 or Power Architecture and they can be used either individually or mixed in the same rack simultaneously, thus offering a hybrid ensemble which borrows from the zEnterprise/zBX ensemble〔(IBM PureSystems Hint at the Future of zEnterprise ) April 16, 2012 at ''DancingDinosaur.com''〕〔(PureSystems Joins zEnterprise Hybrid Family ) May 8, 2012 at ''DancingDinosaur.com''〕 (cf. Gameframe), including its ability to manage a combined physical/virtual hybrid environment from a single console. PureSystems is shipped with the IBM Flex System Manager.〔(IBM RedBooks WebDoc - IBM Flex System Manager ) at ''redbooks.ibm.com''〕 It is an appliance which manages the resources according to the so-called "Patterns of Expertise", which provide field engineers' expertise from decades of system configuration. These "Patterns of Expertise" offer industry-specific (e.g. banking, insurance, automotive) defaults for the fully automatic and optimal orchestration of resources (e.g. workload balancing). PureApplication uses in conjunction with the IBM System Manager first Flex repeatable software patterns (pattern) and industry-specific processes, which are derived from the year-long collaboration of IBM with their customers and business partners.〔(IBM launches PureSystems range ) April 11, 2012 at ''ChannelBiz.com''〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「PureSystems」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
