Will this help ussimplify our IT?

Simplify from systems specification through deployment

to ongoing management

How will this help us accelerate service delivery?

Deploy systems rapidly. Support rapid deployment of all our

services, “scale” the services?

Will this cloud solution be more efficient?

Less effort to deploy, less effort to manage, lower energy and

software costs. “Lowest operating cost”.

IDC estimate setup times 33% less1 than traditional approaches.

PureFlex Express hasstandard specifications.Configuration options set as clients order. PureFlex arrives pre-configured

and tested.

For the IDC surveygroup service delivery

time was “minutes or hours rather than days or weeks”.

“60% reduction in annual operation expenses. With simplified management, staff productivity was improved by reduced

management time of 47%3.

“Operational simplicity; to

date, ValeCard has experienced zero downtime with

IBM PureFlex System.”

In a customer survey PureFlex System was deployed on average 55% faster2 than

conventional systems.

The Industry is talking about IBM Flex System Solution for Microsoft Hyper-V

A base for developing private cloudsA base for developing private clouds

We have been doing Microsoft based cloud and virtualization solutions for several years and are excited about Microsoft Private Cloud on IBM Flex. Flex System and PureFlex makes it easy to install and deploy a Microsoft Private Cloud solution to our customers with speed and reliability. The feedback we have received is that virtualization and cloud on IBM Flex is unlike any other platform for the value it offers. Customers like it’s lower energy costs, denser footprint, and IBM’s proven reliability and performance.

IBM has answered our requests of offering a reference architecture for Microsoft Private Cloud that can start small but scale tremendously. This allows us to offer a truly converged solution for any of our clients whether they are small, mid-market, or enterprise.
