Unisys ClearPath Forward® Systems The Integrated Stack

IT systems can be procured and delivered in a variety of ways; we can think of a spectrum of options. At one extreme, the various components making up the system – hardware, firmware and software – can be sourced from a variety of suppliers and integrated by the purchasing organisation. At the other extreme, the majority or all of the components can be obtained from a single source. We call these extremes the Multi-Source model and the Integrated Stack model.

This paper examines the characteristics of the two models, as well as two intermediate options, and argues that the Integrated Stack model, as it used for ClearPath Forward® systems, has many benefits in reliability, efficiency, security and support.
