This IBM Redbooks publication describes and demonstrates common, prescriptive scenarios for setting up disaster recovery for common workloads using IBM WebSphere Application Server, IBM DB2, and WebSphere MQ between two IBM PureApplication System racks using the features in PureApplication System V2. The intended audience for this book is pattern developers and operations team members who are setting up production systems using software patterns from IBM that must be highly available or able to recover from a disaster (defined as the complete loss of a data center).

This IBM® Redbooks® publication helps you with the integration of IBM PureApplication® System and IBM PureApplication Software into an existing data center. This publication describes certain scenarios that are considered critical (based on IBM client experiences) for a successful implementation of PureApplication Software or PureApplication System into an existing data center. It covers the planning, installation, and configuration of both PureApplication System and PureApplication Software. Both PureApplication System and PureApplication Software offer on-premises solutions that use proven patterns to extend your applications, reduce cost and complexity, and ease management. This book is useful for solution specialists, system or software architects, and the IT teams who need more in-depth knowledge about the integration of PureApplication System and PureApplication Software.

This IBM® Redbooks® publication takes you on a hybrid cloud journey with IBM PureApplication® System and PureApplication Service: from the what, over the why, and to the how. We outline the needs for a hybrid PureApplication cloud and we describe how to build a strategy. We provide advice about the components, including security. Through use cases, we define the need and the strategy for a hybrid cloud implementation with IBM PureApplication System, Software, or Service. The target audience for this book varies from anyone who is interested in learning more about a true hybrid cloud solution from IBM to strategists, IT architects, and IT specialists who want an overview of what is required to build a hybrid cloud with IBM PureApplication family members.

This IBM® Redbooks® publication introduces users to the concepts of the IBM PureApplicationTM System V1.0.

The target audience for this book is anyone from the IT industry who wants to acquire a better understanding of IBM PureApplication System, including technical consultants, business partners, and independent software vendors who are considering migrating to a cloud computing solution. This book also is applicable to system administrators, middleware specialists, and software engineers who need a more in-depth approach to PureApplication System features and capabilities.

This IBM® RedpaperTM publication covers how to use the Cisco IBM VersaStack integrated infrastructure as a platform for IBM Middleware by using the IBM PureApplication® Software V2.1 product, which has the means to install, configure, and manage IBM Middleware on VersaStack. VersaStack can run many software stacks, and PureApplication Software can run on many integrated infrastructures. This paper gives specific design and implementation recommendations for integrating PureApplication Software Version 2.1 on to Cisco IBM VersaStack. Most of this paper focuses on PureApplication Software Version 2.1, but always in the context of VersaStack. It describes and gives the business values of PureApplication Software, provides an overview of VersaStack, shows the preparation of VersaStack for PureApplication Software, gives some hints about installing and configuring the PureApplication Software, and describe how to use PureApplication Software to deploy an IBM Middleware pattern on VersaStack. The target audience for this paper is IT professionals who are responsible for designing and implementing PureApplication Software on VersaStack.
