Fujitsu IaaS:
Making cloud computing safe for business
All the server and storage capacity you need, when you need it, and no worries
Customers save up to 20-40% of the cost of owning IT infrastructure and deploy applications in hours on Fujitsu’s shared Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS).
Organisations host applications and data on Fujitsu’s business-class server and data storage pools for the time required, paying only for the capacity needed, with no lock-in. They have the confidence that their data and systems are secure, whilst achieving the level of resilience and performance required by business.
Knowing that the infrastructure is safe for business, customers use IaaS as a seamless extension to their IT estate, alongside dedicated owned resources. Using IaaS as a flexible infrastructure to reduce costs, they deploy applications in hours and avoid capital expenditure on servers, storage and data centre premises.
CFOs welcome the no-CAPEX and lower OPEX advantages of IaaS – especially as fixed costs are converted into fully flexible costs that track business demand.
CIOs welcome the peace of mind that Fujitsu’s IaaS provides proven IT infrastructure pools, installed in secure data centres, with the resilience and performance levels required for business systems hosting. They’re secure in the knowledge that their data is processed and stored only in agreed Fujitsu data centres in the original country - maintaining data privacy and legal jurisdiction for their business information.
Fujitsu IaaS is a cost effective alternative to IT ownership enabling a 20-40% saving by using pooled resources and through its flexibility to meet changing business demand.
