Fujitsu utvidgar samarbetet med Microsoft inom Hybrid

Fujitsu och Microsoft fördjupar samarbetet inom Hybrid IT, med målet att vara en drivande kraft i moderniseringen av traditionella on premise-lösningar och erbjuda skräddarsydda hybridlösningar som är enkla att sätta i drift. En del av samarbetet är att göra Microsofts Azure Files-tjänster tillgängliga för europeiska kunder på Fujitsus integrerade PRIMEFLEX-system. Det ger PRIMEFLEX-användarna enkel, smidig och synkroniserad tillgång till data på Azure och förenklar det digitala förändringsarbetet. 

“I en hybrid IT-miljö är det inte bara viktigt att säkerställa effektiv och sammanhängande administration – det är också viktigt med enkel tillgång till data över alla system. Det fördjupade samarbetet mellan Fujitsu och Microsoft ger kunder en färdigpaketerad PRIMEFLEX-lösning för data på Microsoft Azure, inclusive konsulttjänster, implementering och support”, säger Rupert Lehner, Head of Central and Eastern Europe & Products Europe, Fujitsu.

Fujitsu expands Hybrid IT collaboration with Microsoft to enable customers’ seamless access to data across environments

News facts: 

- Fujitsu is working with Microsoft to drive modernization of on-premises infrastructure and provide ready-to-go, tailor-made Hybrid IT solutions

- The expanded collaboration makes Microsoft Azure Files services available on PRIMEFLEX for Microsoft Azure Stack HCI for users in Europe

- PRIMEFLEX users also receive seamless access to their Azure data, enhancing customers’ ability to work seamlessly across ecosystems in transformation programs

Munich, January 14, 2020 – Fujitsu today announced an expanded collaboration with Microsoft to further the adoption of Hybrid IT ready infrastructure for digital transformation. The new solution offers Fujitsu PRIMEFLEX users seamless access to their data on Microsoft Azure, boosting seamless working across ecosystems, with synchronized file access beyond system boundaries.

The latest development in Fujitsu’s Hybrid IT collaboration with Microsoft advances customers’ digital transformation, with an emphasis on helping customers leverage their data via Azure File Sync on Azure Stack HCI and ultimately promote infrastructure modernization through advancement of Hybrid IT.

Rupert Lehner, Head of Central and Eastern Europe & Products Europe, Fujitsu, said: “In Hybrid IT environments it is not only essential to have consistent and efficient management - easy data access across all systems is crucial too. This enhanced collaboration between Fujitsu and Microsoft provides customers with a one-stop shop PRIMEFLEX solution for seamless access to their data stored on Microsoft Azure - including consulting, implementation and support.”

Bernardo Caldas, Partner Director of Program Management at Microsoft Corp. said, “By expanding our successful collaboration with Fujitsu, we are helping more companies across various verticals and of many sizes to achieve their digital transformation goals. Organizations increasingly plan to integrate on-premises data centers with public cloud services, but these solutions are often tailor-made to the individual business. Our work with Fujitsu will provide enhanced performance, cost efficiency and overall increased value for customers.”

The expanded collaboration means that PRIMEFLEX for Microsoft Azure Stack HCI users have access to Azure Files shares through Azure File Sync. Azure File Sync provides a bridge between on-premises servers and native SMB shares in the cloud, ensuring all files are synced. To access the service, users need to have an Azure subscription as well as an Azure File Sync agent installed on local servers.

Fujitsu will offer these through its Product Support Services, which include installation and support services for hardware and software. These services enable PRIMEFLEX for Microsoft Azure Stack HCI users to have access to Azure Stack HCI and its Hybrid Cloud benefits through Azure File Sync from the first day of deployment. PRIMEFLEX for Microsoft Azure Stack HCI is an integrated data center system that includes all the hardware and software to simplify procurement and deployment of a Microsoft-based hyper-converged IT infrastructure. It leverages high performance, energy-efficient Fujitsu PRIMERGY standard x86 servers and the software-defined server and storage technology (Hyper-V and Storage Spaces Direct) in Windows Server 2019 to reduce complexity and TCO in data center operations.
