IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node Introduction and Implementation Guide
1.1  IBM PureSystems overview
During the last 100 years, information technology has moved from a specialized tool to a 
pervasive influence on nearly every aspect of life. From tabulating machines that simply 
counted with mechanical switches or vacuum tubes to the first programmable computers, IBM 
has been a part of this growth, while always helping customers to solve problems. 
Information Technology (IT) is a constant part of business and of our lives. IBM expertise in 
delivering IT solutions has helped the planet become smarter. And as organizational leaders 
seek to extract more real value from their data, business processes and other key 
investments, IT is moving to the strategic center of business.
To meet those business demands, IBM is introducing a new category of systems—systems 
that combine the flexibility of general-purpose systems, the elasticity of cloud computing and 
the simplicity of an appliance that is tuned to the workload. Expert integrated systems are 
essentially the building blocks of capability. This new category of systems represents the 
collective knowledge of thousands of deployments, established best practices, innovative 
thinking, IT leadership and distilled expertise.
The offerings in IBM PureSystems are designed to deliver value in the following ways:
��
Built-in expertise helps you to address complex business and operational tasks 
automatically.
��
Integration by design helps you to tune systems for optimal performance and efficiency.
��
Simplified experience, from design to purchase to maintenance, creates efficiencies 
quickly.
The IBM PureSystems offerings are optimized for performance and virtualized for efficiency. 
These systems offer a no-compromise design with system-level upgradeability. IBM 
PureSystems is built for cloud, containing “built-in” flexibility and simplicity.
At IBM, expert integrated systems come in two types:
��
IBM PureFlex System. Infrastructure systems deeply integrate the IT elements and 
expertise of your system infrastructure.
��
IBM PureApplication™ System. Platform systems include middleware and expertise for 
deploying and managing your application platforms
IBM PureSystems are built for cloud with integrated elasticity and virtualization capabilities to 
provision new services in minutes and improve business flexibility while reducing cost.
IBM Flex System is a build-to-order offering that is integrated by the client or a partner and 
does not deliver against all of the three attributes of expert integrated systems (built-in 
expertise, integration by design, simplified experience). IBM Flex System allows clients to 
build their own system to meet unique IT requirements with a set of no-compromise 
components including compute, storage, networking and systems management.
IBM PureFlex System and IBM PureApplication System are built on elements of the IBM Flex 
System, and it has been designed for clients that need pre-integrated hardware infrastructure 
comprised of compute, storage and networking nodes as well as a choice of operating 
systems and hypervisors.  
The new IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node is supported with IBM PureFlex System and 
other IBM Flex System configurations.
