Optimize Innovate
Evolving requires two approaches to enable a Hybrid Enterprise
Focus on Operational Costs
• Consolidation and modernization
• Operations Automation
• Risk and compliance Management
• Manual policy to analytics driven
optimization
Focus on Speed and Agility
• Assemble solutions from verified
components and services
• Fast deployment and redeployment
• Agile to DevOps model
• User first delivery model

What is a Pattern?
The pre-defined architecture for each component of the
application (i.e. database, web server, etc) in a
deployable form with full lifecycle management.
 Pre-installation on an operating system
 Pre-integration across components
 Pre-configured & tuned
 Pre-configured Monitoring
 Pre-configured Security
 Lifecycle Management
Understanding how patterns of expertise work
Patterns address the most
significant cost & time factors
to deliver superior results.
Agility: Faster time-to-value
Efficiency: Reduce cost & resource
Simplicity: Simpler skills requirements
Control: Lower risk and errors

qualities of service such as HA,
DR, scaling, caching,
monitoring, license
management, etc.
• Automate, version, and audit
application changes across
the development pipeline
System,
Service,
Software.
• Inherit principles of devops
and reduce your error rates

Activities
• Medium term (multi
year) focus
• Large scale investments
• No room for error,
difficult to test ideas
• Long elapsed time
between Analysis
& Implementation
• Focus on waterfall,
little opportunity to
iterate
• Focus on as-is, doesn’t
account for
‘evergreening’ of
platform and lifecycle
management
• Shorter term focus
(weeks or months
• Ability to experiment &
test ideas
• Smaller, incremental
investments
• Ability to iterate & continuously integrate
• Reuse & composition of patterns reduces design time
• Automation reduces planning and greatly accelerates
build & implementation whilst reducing rework due to
errors
• Continuous integration
allows for ongoing lifecycle
management e.g. O/S and
middleware currency

OpenStack Support
 Use key OpenStack APIs to quickly import and deploy images
 Existing OpenStack CLI client support minimizing effort required
to invoke PureApplication from existing OpenStack automation,
such as Chef recipes
 Improves portability across multiple cloud platforms
 Moving up to Ice House Level of APIs
Easily deploy OpenStack workloads onto PureApplication System

1. Build, deploy and run Patterns with Docker
containers on PureApplication System, Service
and Software
2. PureApplication brings Enterprise-grade
lifecycle management to Docker
3. Included private Docker registry Pattern
deployable as a shared service
+
Enterprise Strength Docker
Improved Performance
• Faster application deployment, start-up and scaling  92% faster vs. VM deploy
• Higher density deployments  7.8X more containers vs. VMs on same HW
• Vmware provides capabilities currently lacking in Docker (e.g. vMotion)
Portability, Hybrid Cloud, Open ecosystem, Productivity
• More seamless workload movement in hybrid & borderless cloud scenarios
• Access thousands of pre-built applications on DockerHub

What Is Chef?
 Chef is a technology that supports automation of how you build, deploy, and
manage infrastructure
 It is a client / server technology that allows the user to define automation from a
central server
 Endpoints include a chef agent that communicates with the central server
 Automation is described in text files called “recipes”

1. Set up PureApp SW on-prem or in
Azure (8 cores, 80 GB memory)
2. Provide your Azure account certificate
to PureApp SW (so created VMs are
billed to your Azure account)
3. Begin deploying patterns to Azure
4. Optionally export/import patterns
between Azure & other clouds

PureApp SW Requirements:
• Network access to Azure
• 8 cores
• 80 GB memory
