Fujitsu uSCALE for Containers with SUSE : Fujitsu Global

Modernize application development and IT operations with containers

Taking inspiration from the innovation brought about by shipping containers, which transformed global goods transportation, container technology enables the development of applications in a manner that permits them to be coded once and subsequently executed without the need for reconfiguration. This execution can take place across various platforms such as laptops, cloud infrastructure, IoT devices, edge computing, and on-premises environments. Containers are particularly well-aligned with the principles of DevOps and Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) because the distinctions between testing and production environments become inconsequential. This is because all requisite dependencies are encapsulated within the container itself. Consequently, containers foster enhanced collaboration and productivity between development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops), resulting in swifter and more effective problem-solving. Ultimately, this translates to more streamlined application development, the creation of higher-quality applications, and a reduced time-to-market.

Streamline and enhance your container solutions

In the rapidly accelerating landscape of business transformation, modern enterprises are actively seeking a more secure, swift, and cost-effective approach to application development. For numerous entities, this approach centers around the use of containers. Gartner's projections highlight that by 2027, over 90% of global organizations will have integrated containerized applications into their production systems, marking a substantial leap from the less than 40% adoption rate observed in 2021⁽¹⁾

To enable organizations to fully leverage the extensive advantages offered by containers – including enhanced portability, efficiency, agility, expedited app deployment and startup, heightened security, simplified management, and increased flexibility – Fujitsu and SUSE have unveiled their innovative solution, known as Fujitsu uSCALE for Containers with SUSE. This container solution, delivered as a service within a hybrid cloud environment, is meticulously crafted to empower companies to innovate faster and adapt more quickly to change, reduce total cost of ownership (TCO), improve security as well as increase operational efficiencies.
