Book excerpt: This IBM Redpaper publication explains the business and technical value of emerging patterns of expertise in cloud computing, with specific applicability to IBM PureApplication System, IBM Workload Deployer, IBM SmartCloud Orchestrator, and IBM SmartCloud Application Services. The pattern-based approach is a response to the need to reduce complexity in IT environments, where various skills are required to design, test, configure, and maintain integrated solutions, including clouds.Patterns of expertise are designed to deliver the following benefits: Faster time-to-value; Reduced costs and resource demands; Fewer errors and, therefore, lower risk. Patterns make full use of the unique nature of clouds, both private or public. When they are used in the cloud, patterns allow for the dynamic and efficient use of IT resources to achieve consistent results, even when complex solutions are built. In this way, patterns help save time, money, and resources. This Redpaper aims to show the value that patterns bring to IT managers and the business as a whole. --
