IBM Smart Analytics System

The IBM® Smart Analytics System offerings help to provide you with the expertise developed by IBM in the business needs of modern industries. Each solution uses system hardware, IBM middleware, and software as building blocks in a single, integrated business product. Solution offerings support vital industries such as retail, insurance, banking, health insurance, health-care providers, and telecommunications.

This information is useful in the support of IBM Smart Analytics System hardware building blocks. Specifically, identification data is provided for the server, system storage, storage area network (SAN) switch, Ethernet switch, management console, rack, and rack console.

The server node is a key factor in establishing the relationship of the building block to the solution. For classification and maintenance purposes, a building block might pertain specifically to the server or generally to the solution. Depending on the release of the solution, the server node might appear as a single system that supports all solution functions, or it might appear as separate systems supporting management functions and data functions.

Where available, the release information for the solution provides maintenance package identification for individual building blocks.
