Microsoft Hyper-V

Fujitsu’s Dynamic Infrastructures portfolio includes Microsoft’s server virtualization Hyper-V from the very start. Hyper-V as part of the Windows Server operating system is directly released for all existing and upcoming Fujitsu PRIMERGY servers as soon as they become generally available.

Microsoft’s cost-effective server virtualization provides maximum flexibility, easy management and built-in high availability mechanisms to let you benefit from all the advantages of using server virtualization. These advantages are even enhanced with Fujitsu products, services and solutions.

Fujitsu PRIMERGY servers and Fujitsu ETERNUS storage systems are the ideal platform to run Microsoft Hyper-V. Additionally, the management of our Fujitsu PRIMERGY servers, Fujitsu ServerView Suite, and the management of Fujitsu ETERNUS storage systems, Fujitsu ETERNUS SF, are fully integrated into several Microsoft’s System Center management products. This results in a uniform management experience for your entire IT infrastructure.

Moreover, in cooperation with Microsoft we have integrated Microsoft Hyper-V into our in-house developed solutions like Fujitsu’s FlexFrame on Windows for SAP – Fujitsu’s dynamic IT infrastructure for SAP in Windows environments.

Our close cooperation with Microsoft in the area of server virtualization was also the reason that Fujitsu joined Microsoft Private Cloud Fast Track directly upon its announcement in 2010. Our contribution is a complete and pretested private cloud solution. Beside the associated services and the complete Microsoft software stack, it includes Fujitsu PRIMERGY servers, ETERNUS storage systems, Fujitsu network components and all the other infrastructure components, such as Fujitsu PRIMECENTER rack(s) and cabling. Optionally, everything is completely pre-installed and includes the entire lifecycle management of the complete solution.

You can find some more proven and realized reference architectures of Fujitsu for private clouds within the Intel Cloud Builder Program (provider ‘Fujitsu’). The Fujitsu contributions are described in detail and contain all the necessary information to build your Microsoft Hyper-V powered private cloud based on our Fujitsu Dynamic Infrastructures offering.
