  • Manage the topology with virtual system patterns

    Mittwoch, 11. April 2012

    In the IBM PureApplication System environment, a virtual system pattern is the critical element that allows a user to rapidly set up and manage the cloud middleware topology; a virtual system pattern describes a middleware topology and employs the tools to automatically build that topology in the cloud. IBM PureApplication System virtual system patterns are the captured essence of years of infrastructure-management experience and best practices. Virtual system patterns encapsulate repeatable topology definitions based on various middleware images and runtime configurations; they give you...

  • Create and customize virtual application patterns

    Mittwoch, 11. April 2012

    Platform as a Service virtual application patterns are realized by supporting a combination of application-centric deployment models, virtual applications (consisting of individual components and policies), the infrastructure and middleware they employ, and workload-specific content -- extensions or "plug-ins" that define components, links, and policies used to describe and deploy virtual application patterns, such as those usable on both the IBM SmartCloud Enterprise cloud and IBM PureSystems. This article explains how to get started with the IBM Workload Plug-in Development...

  • Manage application services with virtual application patterns

    Mittwoch, 11. April 2012

    In the IBM PureApplication System environment, a virtual application pattern is the critical element that allows a user to rapidly set up and manage cloud application infrastructure; a virtual application pattern describes an application, and employs the tools to build the appropriate infrastructure for the application and then deploys the application to that infrastructure. IBM PureApplication System virtual application patterns are the captured essence of years of application-infrastructure-deployment experience and best practices. Virtual application patterns encapsulate optimized...
