Draft Document for Review January 29, 2013 12:52 pm

This chapter provides an overview of the IBM PureSystems offerings and how the IBM Flex 
System V7000 Storage Node adds to a cloud ready solution within a single IBM Flex System 
Enterprise Chassis. Such a solution consists of Compute Nodes, Storage Systems and LAN- 
and SAN-infrastructure that connects it all together.

IBM Flex System products are ideally suited for data center environments that require flexible, 
cost-effective, secure, and energy-efficient hardware.

The innovative design features of the IBM Flex System products make it possible for you to 
configure totally integrated, customized, secure solutions that meet your data center needs 
today and provide flexible expansion capabilities for the future. The scalable hardware 
features and the unprecedented cooling capabilities of the IBM Flex System products help 
you optimize hardware utilization, minimize cost, and simplify the overall management of your 
data center. 

The primary focus of this book is to describe features and functions of IBM Flex System 
V7000 Storage Node. However, in early versions of the IBM Flex System, the integrated 
storage is provided by IBM Storwize V7000. Hence this introduction covers both storage 
systems. In the chapters following mainly the IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node will be 
discussed.
