WEBMETHODS PATTERN A Customer Use-Case


Setting the scene

The ClientLarge UK Retailer

The Business NeedInterested In PureApplication

Believed in Converged Infrastructure

Needed a truly scalable platform

But, they wanted to feel confident that its benefits extend to their non-IBM software (Software AG’s webMethods)

The ResultsWe delivered them a Pure Pattern running their POS system

Included webMethods Broker and Integration Server

Plus demo/testing framework

Plus full auto-scaling capabilities

Pure Patternisation Methods

Machine “Snapshot”• Tightly coupled• Scripting for key

configurations

Modular• Loosely coupled• Re-usable scripts

• Re-usable intra pattern and extra-pattern

“Purified”• Logging available in

Pure Console• Scaling policies

• Both client & server

• Manual or Auto• Security policies• License

Management• Sample Data• Test clients


Commissioning

Tuesday Morning• First telecon• Asked to port

customers POS system to Pure

Tuesday Afternoon • Up & Running

5 days later• Test clients• Fully integrated into

PureApp• PureApp logging• Licence management• Auto-scaling• Upgrade paths

Scaling Strategies

Manual on-demandRequires careful component/pattern design

Not policy based

Self-monitored (Ongoing Ops Effort !)

PureApplication can help here too

Static Policy“give me 6 servers and keep it at that”

ElasticInfrastructure based

“When the CPU goes above 90% for 1 minute add one to the cluster”

Latency/SLA basedI want the system to cope with 3 million msgs per second – Please just “Make It So”



What You’ll See

A demo of a PureApplication Pattern to show how auto scaling is enabled to adapt to workload spikes.

Using the context of the retail scenario.

But the benefits will apply to any industry.

The auto-scaling could also be time basedE.g. “every Sunday night bring more servers on-line”


LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT THE DEMO

How Elastic Scaling helps you

Saves you overcommitting resources

Gives you peace of mind that your topology can cater for peak loads

Saves you operational managementCode the policy versus manual

Scaling policies can be time based too

What Icon can do for you..


Non-IBM & IBM patterns

Quickly & Cheaply

A non-IBM view on PureApp/SCO/SoftLayer

I need to discuss devops and Pure

I need a slick demonstration quickly

Post sales Pure services (or IBM PureStart)

Cloud Readiness Assessments (BVA)(with non-IBM credibility)
