Today’s IT organizations are under increased pressure to control and reduce their budgets. At the same time they are being asked to quickly respond to their changing and growing business needs. The pureScale Application System offers customers the ability to buy only what they need, when they need it. This flexibility is achieved by the system’s unique ability to scale up, scale out, and scale within, which ensures customers do not have to over-allocate and over-purchase hardware and software. The power and flexibility of the pureScale Application System make it ideal for consolidating your transactional workloads into a single environment for easier administration and reduced redundancy.
The pureScale Application System draws upon proven technology from the mainframe to provide the highest levels of scalability and availability on distributed systems and the latest in IBM solutions as the result of continuous cross IBM integration and collaboration. It extends the reliability, speed and performance of IBM DB2, IBM WebSphere Application Server, and IBM Power 770 servers with PowerHA pureScale clustering technology. The system offers clients continuous availability and unlimited scaling with application transparency. Because the system is pre-integrated and pre-optimized, it reduces deployment time and speeds time-to-value.
