Will this help us
simplify our IT?
Simplify from systems
specification through deployment
to ongoing management
How will this help
us accelerate
service delivery?
Deploy systems rapidly. Support
rapid deployment of all our
services, “scale” the services?
Will this cloud
solution be more
efficient?
Less effort to deploy, less effort to
manage, lower energy and
software costs. “Lowest operating
cost”.

The Industry is talking about IBM Flex System Solution for Microsoft
Hyper-V
A base for developing private clouds
We have been doing Microsoft based cloud and virtualization solutions for several years and
are excited about Microsoft Private Cloud on IBM Flex. Flex System and PureFlex makes it
easy to install and deploy a Microsoft Private Cloud solution to our customers with speed and
reliability. The feedback we have received is that virtualization and cloud on IBM Flex is unlike
any other platform for the value it offers. Customers like it’s lower energy costs, denser
footprint, and IBM’s proven reliability and performance.
IBM has answered our requests of offering a reference architecture for Microsoft Private Cloud
that can start small but scale tremendously. This allows us to offer a truly converged solution
for any of our clients whether they are small, mid-market, or enterprise.
