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.”
