IBM PureSystems have shipped more than 10,000 units through 4Q13

IBM has announced that its IBM PureSystems family of expert integrated systems have now shipped more than 10,000 units through the 4^th quarter of 2013 (4Q13) as organisations consolidate existing data centres and shift more of their workloads to the cloud. 

Organisations are also looking to managed service providers (MSPs) to help them quickly develop and deploy cloud-based services more securely and economically, said the vendor, and the MSPs – including in regions such as India and China – are increasingly turning to IBM PureSystems over the competition to transform their own data centres.

PureSystems users include:

• India's Evalueserve.com, a leading knowledge process outsourcing (KPO) provider which co-designs highly targeted knowledge solutions and operates global knowledge centres located in Chile, China, India, and Romania. The company chose IBM PureFlex to enable an IT infrastructure that supports a private cloud environment and virtual desktop infrastructure for nearly 2,000 users. IBM worked with its business partners Avnet EM Asia and Tech9labs on this project.
• India's Karunya University selected IBM PureFlex to improve online student services by more effectively processing applications, such as handling online enrolment, exam scheduling, virtual campus management, and more.
• eWell Technologies (HangZhou), an independent software vendor (ISV), needed to develop a hospital-based information integration platform for its master patient index solution. With the PureApplication System, eWell can now offer its customers a standardised platform to better monitor both inpatient hospitalisation and outpatient services. eWell is partnering with IBM on Hospital2.0, a revolutionary plan to expand the Chinese healthcare industry ecosystem.
• TCL Multimedia Technology Holdings, one of the world's top three television producers by revenue, chose an IBM PureSystems solution over Oracle EXADATA, Huawei Cloud center, EMC and Dell.  The company will use PureSystems to better manage its big data challenges and gain stronger insights into their business, helping TCL streamline business processes, increase profitability and support growth and innovation.
• Japan's Taiho Pharmaceutical Company utilised IBM Flex System to develop a desktop cloud platform for tablet PCs that are used by more than 700 members of the company.
