IBM® PureFlex™ System is a next-generation platform ideally suited to data center environments that require flexible, cost-effective, secure, and energy-efficient server infrastructure.
This IBM Redpaper™ highlights the major advances of IBM PureFlex System. BladeCenter® is used as a comparative example on aspects such as chassis, compute node, management module, power supply, cooling, network, and I/O. Key factors users need to consider when planning workload migration also are reviewed. Some instrumentation and reference tools are offered here, with detailed steps that take the user through the entire planning process.
