IBM Impact2012 D+1: IBM Mobile Foundation and IBM PureSystems
Today 30th of April 2012, IBM made two announcements.
First the IBM Mobile Foundation, this new software portfolio provides a toolkit to create new mobile application from the connectivity with Cast Iron, build & development (IBM Worklight and free technical resources on developerWorks), manage and secure (IBM Endpoint Manager) and a set of services to capitalize solutions (IBM Quick Win Pilot).
Secondly, the IBM PureSystems, with the IBM Virtual Pattern kit for Developers which allows developer to create their own plugin and pattern for PureSystems. The developers is able to create its own components, links and policies for pattern. Look at the developerWorks article to know more on “Create and customize virtual application patterns“
IBM Impact2012: Interesting sessions around SmartCloud Enterprise
Here some interesting sessions around SCE solutions at Impact2012:
Don’t forget you can get a free access to SmartCloud Application Services (see: Try IBMPureSystems. No charge)
IBM Impact2012 D-day: Get free trial on IBM PureApplication System
Myself at Impact2012 booth B16
This was Impact2012 first day and many interesting discussions along the day.
We announced also a 90-days free trial on the IBM PureSystems.
Pass by booth B-16 or T-6 to get more information or visit page Try IBM PureSystems. No charge.
This trial will provide you the possibility to use the collaborative lifecycle management service and create your own virtual application/system pattern and access images from the IBM SmartCloud Enterprise platform.
The booth is open everyday but I’ll be personally at the booth B-16:
– Monday & Tuesday 10:00AM-12:00PM, 02:00PM-04:00PM

Fashion Show Mall on the Strip with "The Cloud"
Many sessions are planned again. I remember the last time I came at IBM Impact it was in 2008 and the main subject was SOA with the IBM WebSphere ESB, now the focus is much more on cloud.
Sessions around IBM PureSystems (or on developerWorks IBM PureSystems) with its two flavor IBM PureFlex System and IBM PureApplication System. An IBM PureSystem Center has been created and contains a number of solutions for these two brand new IBM Systems.
Talk to you soon.
Preparing for IBM PureApplication System, Part 5: Developing virt. app. patterns for IBM Workload Deployer with RAD
Summary: Part 5 of this article series shows how to combine the software development features of IBM® Rational® Application Developer with the virtual application pattern assembly capabilities of IBM Workload Deployer to develop cloud applications. With Workload Deployer, you can assemble virtual application patterns consisting of Java™ EE enterprise applications, Web applications, OSGi applications, and other types of components. However, as an application developer, it is predominantly the source code of the components of the pattern you need to work with the most. The latest integrated features of Rational Application Developer and Workload Deployer will help you develop virtual application patterns from the source code on up. Continue ->
