BANGALORE, INDIA: The trend towards more collaboration has resulted in the popularity of a group of software applications called business collaboration tools.

Microsoft SharePoint is a prime example. With more than 125 million licenses sold to more than 65,000 enterprise customers, SharePoint is among the most widely deployed collaboration platforms. SharePoint serves the urgent need to share information in a way that enables distributed teams, both internally and externally, to work together.

And by consolidating this information, SharePoint makes content easier to discover, reuse, and manage. A successful SharePoint deployment requires a flexible and scalable solution that combines all aspects of a virtual environment, based on reliable technologies and best practice solutions.

These applications require a flexible and scalable front-end as well as a fast and stable back-end. This is more than traditional silo architectures can handle. They're too rigid, inefficient, and expensive.

Fujitsu vShape enables risk-free implementation of these applications. Its validation process delivers answers to sizing tasks and provides guidance throughout the design phase of a company's high availability and disaster recovery strategies. This helps IT departments avoid significant decreases in performance and increases in the time it takes backup jobs to complete.

With vShape, Fujitsu provides the software and hardware necessary to solve today's problems and meet tomorrow's challenges. Fujitsu vShape, in partnership with NetApp and Brocade, is an optimum virtualization platform that delivers such a solution.
