Bytec integrates DataCore’s SANsymphony™-V storage hypervisor software with Fujitsu PRIMERGY servers and ETERNUS storage hardware and markets the appliances with the Fujitsu brand. The new storage appliances will be featured and presented to thousands of attendees expected to participate at the Fujitsu Forum 2012 (November 7-8) which is being held at ICM in Munich, Germany.
