Proven Operating Environment for OpenStack Configuration
August 19, 2024
FUJITSU Storage ETERNUS AF/ETERNUS DX supports OpenStack, an open source software for cloud computing. OpenStack is a cloud operating platform that controls large pools of compute, storage, and networking resources in the datacenter environment, through a combination of hypervisors.
- Fujitsu provides cloud offerings based on open standards to ensure interoperability and accelerate construction of cloud environments
- Cloud enablement ensures users can scale server and storage resources when needed based on business demand. Administrators can also control and manage resources more efficiently, while reducing management workload
- ETERNUS OpenStack Volume Driver has been developed for ETERNUS AF/ETERNUS DX systems, enabling users to manage storage resources via the following OpenStack services;
- OpenStack Block Storage (Cinder) - Provides a centrally managed service for the provision of storage resources
- OpenStack Dashboard (Horizon) - Web based user interface for OpenStack services
Fujitsu's experience in supporting open source technology is reflected in our commitment to use OpenStack to deliver effective cloud solutions.
