IBM launched late 2012 a new family of data center building blocks called PureSystems. The idea of an integrated system isn’t unique, but IBM’s twist is that it will be more flexible with PureSystems- 4 supported operating systems and 5 virtualization hypervisors—and build in knowhow from its research team and services engagements.

For your information, PureSystems break down into two groups:

  • PureFlex, an infrastructure focused system that integrates servers, storage and networking. The focus is on anticipating resources and optimization.
  • PureApplication, a platform system that includes IBM’s networking capabilities for easy deployment of new types of applications.
