Operational Efficiencies Improve with Solutions that Deliver Information
October 16, 2012
IBM branched into cloud computing with PureFlex and applications with PureApplications, so seeing them move toward data analytics is not surprising. The TechCrunch article “Meet PureData, IBM’s New Big Box For Big Data,” discusses the latest edition to IBM’s Pure series.
Apparently big players like IBM and Oracle have decided to sell their big box systems and replace the old servers that their customers utilize for legacy software:
They call these boxes converged systems. They essentially are new age mainframes with state-of-the art compute, storage, and networking all in one system. The PureData System is designed to manage petabytes of data. According to IBM, it can manage up to 100 databases and can perform analytics in a matter of minutes versus hours to understand consumer purchases and other data-intensive tasks, such as detecting credit card fraud. It focuses on transactional applications such as e-commerce, customer analysis and analyzing operations.
The combination of IBM’s three Pure strategy will create an all in one solution, but they are stepping into the game a little late. Developers like PolySpot have been providing an all-in-one solution for almost a decade offering a platform that delivers information. Their unique infrastructure component can be used to sort, store and develop innovative and cost-effective applications, while providing users with quick, access to the relevant data necessary to increase operational efficiency and ROI.
