IBM Pure and Flex Explained
IBM is not known for making things simple, but they unmatched when it comes to innovation. The company had only their fourth product launch in the company's over 100 year history in 2012.
The announcement was over what IBM has coined as Expert Integrated Systems. This is an entirely new classifcation in the computing industry. With the advent of virtualized servers, workstations, networking, storage, and even software, there is no longer a need to separate the physical aspects of these components.

IBM has separated their Expert Integrated Systems into several pieces. The PureSystems are the largest component of these systems. Within the PureSystems Family is the PureFlex, or Infrastructure component, along with the PureApplication and PureData components.
- PureSystems
- PureFlex - Infrastructure
- PureApplication - Application Platform
- PureData - Data Platform
From an infrastructure point of view, the PureFlex systems come in 3 basic configurations, each complete with Management, Compute Nodes, Operating Systems, Virtualization, Networking and Storage.
You can also get these components as part of the IBM Flex System, which is a more flexible entry-level system for the Expert Integrated Systems line of business. The IBM Flex System is a great place to start for those wanting to switch from blades or disparate server environments, without ripping out everything they currently have. Here's a video from last fall that explains the IBM Flex System components that are currently available.
