Description
Simplified disaster recovery in PureApplication System V1.1 offers new capabilities
1
to pair a PureApplication System rack with a dedicated standby rack. Replicationbased disaster recovery can be achieved in a fraction of the time it would take to set
up a traditional disaster recovery environment.

Before using the disaster recovery feature to back up third-party software, you should
confirm that you have the rights under your third-party licenses.
PureApplication System V1.1 also serves a wider ecosystem of workloads. It adds
support for the Microsoft Windows operating system as a guest platform. It also
adds improvements to the Plug-in Development Kit (PDK), which is used to create
virtual application patterns for use in PureApplication System.
You can complete system management data backup in significantly reduced time
with fewer time-blocking system operations like deployments and other system
related tasks. Automatic backup and selective restoration of virtual images occur
from the workload catalog, helping to improve flexibility for scheduling system
management data backups. You can monitor backup progress and receive email
alerts with useful statistics when backups are complete.
With the improved elasticity with V1.1, you can specify policies that result in
PureApplication System dynamically adding CPU and memory resources, within
specified ranges, to cloud groups or individual virtual machines to help meet
performance goals.

deployment on PureApplication Systems. A purchase of a particular configuration of
PureApplication System includes entitlement to run the following products up to the

Statement of direction
IBM intends to deliver in the future the following software to run on PureApplication
System.
• IBM Security Access Manager for Web (ISAM) for deployment on the IBM
PureApplication System. ISAM for Web combines user access management
and web application protection into a highly scalable user authentication,
authorization, and web single sign-on solution. IBM Security Access Manager
for Web helps safeguard user access to online applications and protect the
applications against advanced web threats.
• IBM Security QRadar SIEM and IBM Security QRadar Log Manager for
deployment on the IBM PureApplication System. The IBM Security QRadar family
helps to deliver actionable and timely insight for improved threat detection
and compliance. The QRadar family collects and correlates both log data and
network flows, while making it easy to customize rules and reports. Using
advanced security analytics, including real-time correlation and behavioral
anomaly detection, IBM Security QRadar can help detect and prioritize threats
and compliance risks that might otherwise be missed.
• IBM Software Delivery and Lifecycle Patterns to help simplify the
deployment of project lifecycle and delivery tooling. A catalog of patterns with
outstanding tooling can enable clients to rapidly deploy and use the tools they
need at the time that they need them. As the first phase, IBM intends to deliver
virtual system patterns of Rational® Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM)
solution and Rational Application Developer (RAD). These patterns will be based
on years of experience in this area using golden topologies. These patterns can
enable clients to focus their critical resources on value-add activities instead of
installation and configuration of different middleware prerequisites and parts of
these solutions.
• SAP Business Suite 7i 2011 pattern for deployment on PureApplication
System. This pattern is intended to enable clients to install and configure the
SAP CRM, ERP, SCM, and SRM modules as stand-alone, distributed, and highavailability topologies on PureApplication System.

Statement of good security practices
IT system security involves protecting systems and information through prevention,
detection, and response to improper access from within and outside your
enterprise. Improper access can result in information being altered destroyed or
misappropriated or can result in misuse of your systems to attack others. Without a
comprehensive approach to security, no IT system or product should be considered
completely secure and no single product or security measure can be completely
effective in preventing improper access. IBM systems and products are designed
to be part of a comprehensive security approach, which will necessarily involve
additional operational procedures, and may require other systems, products, or
services to be most effective. IBM does not warrant that systems and products are
immune from the malicious or illegal conduct of any party.
