In an interview with Dave Vellante, Co-Founder, Wikibon, at the Information OnDemand 2012 event, Pearson said IBM PureSystems is the right combination of IBM software and hardware and years of services and expertise into a series of sort of workload specific module.
She said IBM PureSystems is built as a platform for a simplified experience for clients as it relates to information technology. It provides simplicity of an appliance and the elasticity of cloud into one highly customizable integrated system. It offers lots of benefits to clients including reduce business IT server complexity, and reduce operational workloads out of the hands of IT personnel.
