IBM PureSystems Cut Costs and Increase Agility by Simplifying the IT Life Cycle

Converged systems, such as IBM PureSystems, offer application development and IT operations teams a new level of pattern-based infrastructure design, middleware engineering, and operations management automation that is likely to transform the way many organizations procure, design, develop, deploy, manage, and support mission-critical applications and infrastructure across the IT life cycle.

This IDC analyst white paper discusses why converged systems, such as IBM PureSystems platforms, have the potential to radically simplify many aspects of the IT life cycle and how these changes can deliver business value by accelerating time to market, improving application performance, and reducing the staff time needed for many routine ongoing management and support activities. This paper also provides several examples of how IBM customers are reinventing their IT life-cycle strategies using IBM PureSystems platforms.
