Fujitsu Combines Small-business Optimized Platforms and Software for SMB Success
Affordable, simple-to-manage and all-in-one platform delivers channel partners new business opportunities
Fujitsu today announces that it is providing small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) with an affordable, simple-to-manage, all-in-one platform, via participating channel and distribution partners. The leading European IT infrastructure provider is combining innovative PRIMERGY servers – several optimized specifically to the needs of SMBs – with the recently-launched Microsoft Small Business Server 2011 Standard.
While all SMBs are challenged by the complications of IT administration, ease of access to data on-the-go, not to mention issues around data protection and security, according to Microsoft, around 75 per cent of businesses with 25 personal computers or less have no server. Designed to serve this market internationally at an attractive price, Fujitsu provides a compelling server solution for SMBs, and value-added new business opportunities to channel partners.
Accelerating channel partners’ route to extra sales, Fujitsu’s SMB-tailored configurations offer customers a reliable and scalable platform thanks to the proven PRIMERGY servers, while increasing customer productivity and protecting their business data with the new Small Business Server 2011 family. The all-in-one platform provides customers with simplified management and a comprehensive view of the health and security of IT resources via a single administrative console. It is both highly energy efficient and powerful enough for business operations, with new online collaboration via remote access to email, contacts, calendar and communications.
Manlio Vecchiet, Director, Windows Server product management, Microsoft Corporation, says: “Microsoft is committed to providing products and solutions that help small and mid-sized companies succeed and reduce costs. Many businesses are aware that with the right IT investments they can improve efficiency and flexibility, but have been held back by concerns about cost and complexity. As one of the first hardware providers of Microsoft Small Business Server 2011 Standard, Fujitsu is helping businesses take the first step with server-based IT.”
Hans-Dieter Wysuwa, Head of Products Sales Group at Fujitsu Technology Solutions says: “To accelerate their business, Fujitsu partners can choose from small-business optimized configurations to suit their customers’ needs and budget, backed by our offer of technical training and customizable sales and marketing materials. Customers can now order Microsoft Small Business Server 2011 Standard immediately from participating distributors and resellers.”
Fujitsu is providing channel partners with comprehensive marketing materials through its partner portal at https://partners.ts.fujitsu.com/ and through local distribution websites.
