Solutions
Exponential data growth, business continuity, regulatory compliance, security, and increasing environmental problems - it takes a special kind of data storage solution to address all of these issues and provide optimum outcomes. Here we introduce you to the reasoning behind Fujitsu's storage systems and how they answer these challenges by providing practical, well performing, safe and secure data management solutions.
Business Continuity
The management of important business information (data assets) has become an indispensable function of IT infrastructure. Achieving uninterrupted access to such information is therefore a vital factor in developing business and company image. To guarantee ongoing business continuity, companies need to build mechanisms that ensure seamless operation even in the event of system failures or disasters. ETERNUS storage systems offer the mechanisms that enable quick system recovery with minimum damage to business or reputation.
Security Compliance
Lead by the introduction of the SOX act in the United States in 2002 and similar data protection and preservation laws in other countries (E.g. The Personal Information Protection and Financial Instruments and Exchange Laws in Japan (2004 and 2008)), companies must now take positive action and greater care to ensure compliance with such regulations. Security and regulatory compliance are also important from a social responsibility standpoint and for success in global business operations. With a range of capabilities for external attack prevention and internal data security, ETERNUS storage systems provide information reliability, leakage prevention, data consistency and long term data protection beyond the life of any specific storage device.
Information Lifecycle Management (ILM)
The amount of data companies must handle continues to rapidly increase. Annual growth rates of 70 per cent are not unusual. This has created a need for information lifecycle management. This includes the categorization of data into importance and required availability. ETERNUS storage systems deliver a one stop multi-tiered storage solution that, as well as including file server integration, data integrity and long-term data preservation, can autonomously move data to the appropriate storage tier in line with its use and value.
Green
Environmental consciousness is an important factor in today's business operations. Compliance with environmental laws, better management of environmental risks and the need for corporate social responsibility, require companies to take proactive measures.
Fujitsu products are designed to reduce the environmental burdens on companies and society. Continuous innovation in ecologically beneficial technologies and power-saving system operation are passed on in support of the environmental efforts of businesses.
