International Business
Machines Corp.(NYSE:IBM) has expanded its PureSystems line of pre-integrated
systems to incorporate new models to manage business analysis and online
transaction processing.
The PureData systems have
been brought together to excel at three standard common tasks within enterprise
computing – near real-time data analysis, online transactional processing and
business intelligence.
Each of the
aforementioned systems is designed to serve the purpose of a particular
application. They are integrated by design. It is not a mere bundle of technology
incorporated together, as per IBM vice president of big data product
management, Phil Francisco. The systems have been designed as such they can be
promptly installed and maintained with ease.
IBM is not the only one
to offer pre-integrated systems for heavy workloads. It was last week when
Oracle introduced the most recent version of its Exadata system that is
designed for intensive workloads.
IBM’s director of PureSystems
marketing, Pete McCaffrey said that the firm has a far different approach than
Oracle. Oracle has adopted a single system to fit the needs of all systems
whereas IBM has optimized the specific type of data workload. This is why IBM
is coming out with different models aligned to different types of workloads.
IBM has designed one of
its systems, the one meant for transactions, for credit card processing and
other fast-paced transactional works in financial services and retail
operations. Such systems are meant to manage heavy workloads. Francisco said
that this system has been made to deliver high performance with the help of
shared data bunched architecture.
Another system for
analytics is capable of processing huge amounts of data that are recorded in
the order of billions of data. This system involves the Netezza data
warehousing technology of the firm and also a library of diagnostic functions.
Each of these systems
can be operational in a few hours, as per Francisco.
