Primary Storage Solutions

Going beyond the limits with next-generation data storage

Within business, there has been a data explosion. And, with exponential data growth comes the need for new storage systems and solutions with minimum latency, uninterrupted access to data, and smart efficiency functions capable of making the right data available at the right time. Data availability and manageability are today’s differentiators and staying ahead in highly competitive markets means a fundamental change in how data is stored and managed. Your business success depends on your ability to capture, store, manage, consolidate, and monetize your data, and to do this you need to make the right storage choice. For many businesses, this will mean a shift from ‘this is the way we’ve always done things’ to a ‘no one size fits all’ approach.

Making the right storage choice – Traditional Storage, Hyper-converged Infrastructure(HCI) or Software-defined Storage (SDS)?

The Fujitsu Primary Storage portfolio is based on award-winning performance architectures
that deliver the fastest response times regardless of the workload. With our portfolio of data
storage solutions, we provide a one-stop-shop for all data storage needs across Traditional
Storage, Hyper-converged Infrastructure (HCI) and Software-defined Storage (SDS).

Traditional Storage

Traditional RAID storage solutions deliver predictable performance for organizations needing reliable storage operations for legacy applications and infrastructures, dedicated applications and databases/OLTP. Our solutions support a range of storage technologies - hybrid, All-Flash and NVMe All-Flash - which can be easily combined according to different data storage requirements. Integrated data protection capabilities include smooth migration, transparent failover and replication to ensure business continuity.

Software-defined storage (SDS)

SDS typically comes as a scale-out or hyper-scale system – to increase capacity and performance you simply add nodes into the overall storage pool of the system. The placement of the data and the management software of the system is distributed across all nodes. This makes scaling very easy and provides the flexibility to add capacity as needed without sacrificing performance. There is no need for capacity planning and forecasting – and theoretically, there is no limit to the capacity. The SDS concept is also optimally adopted to rapidly changing ecosystems with new-age workloads and edge-core-cloud-environments.

Hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI)

Fujitsu Hyper-converged Infrastructure solutions combine multiple elements - compute, storage and network - to form a harmonious high available infrastructure solution for organizations uncertain of their future storage and compute requirements.
