Windows Server 2022: Hybrid and cloud ready
Torn between directions?
For companies to be best prepared for unforeseen disruptive global events, it is crucial that they strengthen their digital resilience in a sustainable manner. Faced with a range of different solutions, many companies have not yet decided which strategic direction to take. Together with Microsoft, Fujitsu can provide you with strategic solutions that meet your requirements perfectly.
Respond, restore and benefit
Many business leaders have recognised the importance of digital resilience to enable them to react swiftly to changes and business interruptions, restore business operations and even benefit from shifting circumstances in an extremely volatile world. Cloud architectures are the key to success here. Together with Microsoft, Fujitsu has proven expertise in this area.

Start by laying the right foundation.
Cloud-like environment.
Focus on: PRIMEFLEX for Microsoft Storage Spaces Direct
PRIMEFLEX for Microsoft Storage Spaces Direct combines the security of an IT system that is still physically installed in the company’s own data centre with the agility and efficiency of public clouds. This scalable software-based solution enables your company to combine the computing power and storage capacity of local server data carriers in a logical network, or cluster. This easy-to-manage IT infrastructure enables you to allocate computing and storage resources to business applications quickly and reduce manual administration.
The solution can be extended at any stage by adding servers or replacing servers that are no longer maintained with new ones. It also does this without the need for downtime because built-in high-availability functions ensure that business operations can continue to run even if a server in a cluster malfunctions. From a business point of view, this is just as convenient as using external cloud resources. The only difference is that this model requires servers to still be installed physically on the company’s premises. This is where the all-in-one solution offered by PRIMEFLEX can significantly reduce the time and effort required for design, integration, configuration and testing.
Pay-as-you-go cloud.
Focus on: Fujitsu uSCALE
You are presented with the challenge of having to add one or more replacement servers to your new IT infrastructure so that you can access additional computing or storage resources when you need them. This requires an up-front investment in servers that are often not used initially. The transparent Fujitsu uSCALE pay-per-use model provides you with scalable, on-demand IT resources that you can access when you have to respond quickly to increased demand. This means you can benefit from flexible, instantly scalable IT at an attractive price because, as with the cloud, you only pay for what you actually use.
Connect to the cloud
Focus on: PRIMEFLEX for Microsoft Azure Stack HCI
Fujitsu’s PRIMEFLEX for Microsoft Azure Stack HCI smooths your company’s path to a hyper-converged infrastructure. It allows you to manage the on-premises part and the cloud consistently with minimal need for maintenance and administration. This integrated system includes all the hardware and software required to radically simplify the procurement and deployment of a Microsoft-based, hyper-converged IT infrastructure, while also reducing complexity and the total costs of operating a data centre. In addition, the Azure Hybrid Services – which are integrated into the Windows Admin Center – enable you to connect your on-site deployment seamlessly with the cloud.
