Fujitsu vShape offers a Complete Package for Virtualization

Business Benefits

With server and desktop virtualization becoming increasingly commonplace, businesses need efficient ways to implement and support it. By providing the complete virtualization infrastructure, Fujitsu removes the headache of self-configuration and guarantees a tested and ideally synchronized combination of reliable components. Customers can trust the simple and fast processes combined with easy, risk-free handling – so they can spend less time on IT and more time focusing on their core business. With the solution tailored to application requirements, the purchase cost, deployment time and provisioning time are all lowered.

Customers can also choose which infrastructure package suits them best. Fujitsu vShape accommodates a variety of validated designs that can be customized to specific environments and can easily be scaled as needs and demand change. vShape comes in two different solution stacks: the ETERNUS DX SAN storage version with Brocade Fibre Channel switches, or the NetApp FAS NAS storage version with Brocade IP switches. Both offer a highly-reliable solution based on industry standards and best-in-class technology partnerships. By combining these components with the leading VMware virtualization technology, running on Fujitsu PRIMERGY servers with excellent price/performance ratios, customers need less hardware and can use what they have more efficiently.
