1.2 IBM PureFlex System building blocks
IBM PureFlex System provides an integrated computing system, combining servers,
enterprise storage, networking, virtualization, and management into a single structure. The
built-in expertise lets organizations simply manage and flexibly deploy integrated patterns of
virtual and hardware resources through unified management.
1.2.1 Highlights
Each system consists of IBM System x® nodes, IBM Power Systems™ compute nodes, or a
combination of these two types, which is known as a hybrid configuration. The bundled,
on-site services provide some initial compute node configuration and might differ for IBM
System x nodes and Power Systems compute nodes. A client-specified primary node
(POWER or x86) is pre-configured with a hypervisor (IBM PowerVM®, VMWare, KVM,
HyperV) to allow virtual server configuration by IBM services personnel. Services also include
skills transfer to the client personnel.
