hardware resources through unified management. These systems are ideally suited for
customers interested in a system that delivers the simplicity of an integrated solution but who
also want control over tuning middleware and the run-time environment.
IBM PureFlex System recommends workload placement based on virtual machine
compatibility and resource availability. Using built-in virtualization across servers, storage,
and networking, the infrastructure system enables automated scaling of resources and true
workload mobility.
IBM PureFlex System undergoes significant testing and experimentation, so it can mitigate IT
complexity without compromising the flexibility to tune systems to the tasks businesses
demand. By providing both flexibility and simplicity, IBM PureFlex System can provide
extraordinary levels of IT control, efficiency, and operating agility that enable businesses to
rapidly deploy IT services at a reduced cost. Moreover, the system is built on decades of
expertise, enabling deep integration and central management of the comprehensive,
open-choice infrastructure system and dramatically cutting down on the skills and training
required for managing and deploying the system.
IBM PureFlex System combine advanced IBM hardware and software along with patterns of
expertise and integrate them into three optimized configurations that are simple to acquire
and deploy so you get fast time to value for your solution.
Figure 1-2 shows the IBM PureFlex System with its three different chassis implementations.

The three PureFlex System configurations are as follows:
򐂰 IBM PureFlex System Express: Designed for small and medium businesses, it is the most
affordable entry point for the PureFlex System.
򐂰
IBM PureFlex System Standard: Optimized for application servers with supporting storage
and networking, it is designed to support your key ISV solutions.
򐂰 IBM PureFlex System Enterprise: Optimized for transactional and database systems, it
has built-in redundancy for highly reliable and resilient operation to support your most
critical workloads.
Note: IBM Flex System allows you to build your own system to meet the unique IT
requirements.
