Benefit from integration systems with IBM Pureapplication system tuning Organization

Brief introduction

IT organizations have long been under pressure to use limited or dwindling resources to do more work. IBM pureapplication System enables IT organizations to work smarter and use time, skills, and resources more efficiently.

Pureapplication system can greatly simplify or eliminate many common tasks that consume development, operations, and system administrator time. Getting rid of repetitive tasks can create a unique opportunity for the enterprise to allocate deep technical skills to more valuable tasks and make them fully utilized.

Pureapplication System leverages the familiar roles of IT organizations, such as security, hardware, and cloud management. It also introduces new concepts and roles, such as patterns and workload management, which require the integration of a range of skills that may have been discovered in the IT organization. Management can gain maximum advantage when new skills are improved.

This article is written for IT managers and CIOs who are looking to understand how pureapplication System affects the organization's existing roles. We will discuss how the IT organization using Pureapplication optimizes the use of existing skills, adjusts existing resources, and fully recognizes the advantages of expert integration systems. The IT organization will find that pureapplication System can facilitate collaboration between application development and IT operations. By changing roles and blending skills, Pureapplication System enables these two teams to respond to today's rapidly changing business environment. This article provides examples that show how existing IT roles are impacted by Pureapplication System through commissioned research data, IBM service activity results, and customer discussions. This article also provides some advice on how to respond to roles that appear in a new environment.

Organization Adjustment

This section describes the benefits of Pureapplication System restructuring after it is implemented.

Combination of software development and IT operations

The traditional IT environment is complex and encourages the specialization of it roles. This specialization often causes the IT organization to be split into teams responsible for very special tasks. While this is done to optimize application or specific infrastructure component performance, the result is often the organization's ability to prevent collaboration between IT operations and software development. The rapidly changing business environment drives stronger collaboration between operations and development, creating the infrastructure requirements that take advantage of the operational model.

With enterprise models that provide optimized middleware stacks and pre-integrated hardware that simplifies delivery of infrastructure, small-operation workers can support all the hardware and software needed to implement a single application. Such an operational model enables the development team to provide a contact pointcut that can manage all the infrastructure components that the application relies on. This leads to smaller teams that can efficiently accomplish more tasks, such as problem solutions, that require a larger team to capture and interpret data, identify, and fix problems. When these teams collaborate, they will find fewer delays in planning and implementing projects.

Efficient use of existing skills

In the IT role, highly skilled people perform unskilled tasks most of the day. In a typical split structure, it is unavoidable that each job role focuses on only one particular skill. For example, an IBM DB/2 expert might not have the skills and knowledge to adjust a database so that it can use the transaction load correctly. Therefore, the expert must spend a considerable amount of time installing the software PRODUCT, setting up the user ID, connecting it to the enterprise directory, and configuring the instance.

Pureapplication System solves this problem for the IT organization because it helps automate these repetitive tasks. This will help to liberate the experts and spend their time using their powerful skills to make the business profitable. IBM WebSphere Application Server experts, for example, spend more time helping developers solve performance problems with development applications, or helping architects design new application patterns that are included in the directory for use throughout the organization.

Improve communication channels

Pattern-based deployments bring the need for expert pattern implementation. These experts have extensive knowledge of pattern design, configuration and integration, and have an initial requirement phase pattern, from architecture, development, testing to production. They can provide application owners with requirements and best practice advice to ensure that new applications are extensible and take full advantage of the pattern.

Pureapplication System Changes the request resource model for the new application, from acquiring new resources to allocating existing resources. Resource experts have a holistic view of resources that can be used to communicate with new application owners the best options for CUP, memory, storage, and optimal expansion strategies to ensure that the application meets performance goals.

Simplifying the Administrator role

Pureapplication system merges the main parts of a large, virtualized distributed system into one packet. Tasks that used to require multiple expert teams for days or even weeks can now be completed in less time by more people. This is accomplished by capturing the deep skills of IT specialists within the system and delving into the deployable patterns. The knowledge of how to adjust complex middleware or how to extend an application for a particular workload can be encapsulated so that anyone in your organization without deep knowledge and skills can take advantage of it.

These patterns allow users to assume roles that cover a wider range of tasks. For example, WebSphere Application server administrators no longer need to spend time tuning their application servers, because the task is already managed by the policy, and the policy is managed by policies that are simply defined in the business terms of the pattern. Instead, administrators can broaden their scope and apply their skills to help application developers and architects who are implementing their schemas. This model provides a tool for staff eager to extend their expertise, with a greater overall impact on End-to-end applications.

Redeploy resources to efficiently handle changing business environments

The technology delivered by Pureapplication System enables existing IT staff to work more efficiently, providing IT organizations with unique opportunities to address new business opportunities with valuable skills. This section explores several areas where integration and automation can help change the way personal experts interact with the system.

Simplified Storage Management

Before Pureapplication System, you need to create a proprietary group to manage the infrastructure of your storage area network. In addition to building the physical components of the SAN, some people must be responsible for the SAN and LAN, planning to connect the SAN infrastructure to your host and perform these tasks, such as host and capacity configuration, host mapping, and storage pool tubes. In addition, once the infrastructure has been built, it needs to be maintained and managed continuously to keep it synchronized with the drive level, the SAN software level, and so on. Pureapplication System will help you do all of this. Typically, in normal operations, the only storage task that needs to be performed is to decide to create the appropriate capacity size when the new virtual machine is provided, and to scale the capacity as needed.
