Fujitsu America, Inc. today announces the availability of
Fujitsu Integrated System PRIMEFLEX for VMware vSAN, a hyper
converged infrastructure (HCI) product that integrates software-defined
storage (SDS) technology into a physical server. By leveraging PRIMEFLEX
for VMware vSAN, IT organizations can more rapidly deploy the core
virtual infrastructure foundation needed for their software-defined data
centers (SDDC). PRIMEFLEX for VMware vSAN is fully tested and delivered
on Fujitsu Server PRIMERGY,
the server platform optimized for virtualized environments. Fujitsu
delivers technology based on improvements in usability and operability
on top of Intel Xeon Scalable processor-based server platforms and VMware vSAN 6.6 for increased performance and security.
This unique configuration delivers the power
and flexibility enterprises need to deploy a number of cost-cutting,
efficiency-boosting infrastructure types, including virtual desktop
infrastructure (VDI), virtualization infrastructure and private cloud
infrastructure. Furthermore, PRIMEFLEX for VMware vSAN ships fully
loaded with Fujitsu-developed software, Fujitsu Software ServerView®
Infrastructure Manager (ISM) for PRIMEFLEX, which helps eliminate issues
related to installation, operation and expansion. As a simple and easy
next-generation platform, ISM for PRIMEFLEX enables easy, flexible
infrastructure operation of a customer's business environment as it
grows and evolves.
"With a seemingly endless range of ICT
infrastructure options available, it's never been more difficult - or
more crucial - for enterprises to make the right choice for their unique
business," says Heather Engen,
Head of Platform Products Group, Fujitsu America, Inc. "With the new
PRIMEFLEX for VMware vSAN, organizations of any size can select a
configuration to suit their present workload requirements, but scale up
as necessary, providing an optimized and future-proof platform. This flexible
solution takes advantage of Fujitsu industry-leading hardware acumen
and VMware cost-effective virtualization capabilities, enabling our
customers to transform themselves into software-defined businesses that
are more likely to disrupt, than be disrupted."
