Fujitsu will be showcasing products around infrastructure-as-a-service for server, as well as a comprehensive portfolio of managed services.

Plug and play IT: Infrastructure-as-a-service for server

Fujitsu will exhibit infrastructure-as-a-service for server (IaaS), the flagship private cloud services offering for enterprises.

With IaaS, companies can purchase server capacity as necessary via a flexible billing model. The required hardware is stored in Fujitsu high security centres built especially for this purpose.

Customers can chose an individual solution and configure it through Fujitsu’s IaaS portal. The server resources can be accessed via a secure VPN (Virtual Private Network).

Managed services

Fujitsu will showcase, ManageNow, for IT infrastructure administration in data centres. The ManageNow solutions simplify and optimize daily processes in data centres using standardized administration of heterogeneous infrastructures and automatized administration of operating systems, software and databases for servers and clients.

ManageNow supports Fujitsu’s IT infrastructure products as well as heterogeneous environments. Enterprises can use ManageNow to consolidate different administration and surveillance tools, benefiting from a seamless integration with popular administration solutions, fast implementation and a cost reduction of up to 65 percent.

Fujitsu‘s Managed Workplace services have been designed especially for Windows 7. Managed Workplace can be used to administer PC workstations throughout the entire lifecycle.

With Fujitsu’s Managed Storage offer, enterprises of all sizes can benefit from flexible data management, cost control and data security. Fujitsu administers storage solutions onsite as well as at its own data centres. Fixed costs are changed into variable costs and there are hardly any limits for extensive data growth.

Managed Server guarantees interruption-free server infrastructures. Proactive services such as Auto Immune Systems support automatic recognition and eliminate errors. At the same time, IT processes are immunized so business transactions are protected from interruptions.

Tape Virtualization with Eternus CS800

Fujitsu also introduces the latest storage system in its Eternus family in hall 4. The Eternus CS800 is a ready-to-use storage solution with integrated deduplication, offering comprehensive data security within dynamic infrastructures.

The solution is particularly suitable for medium-sized enterprises working with disk back-up. Integrated deduplication reduces average capacity requirements for hard disks within the system by 90 percent and therefore helps reduce backup costs.

The Eternus CS800 stores back-up data in different locations throughout the company network, using deduplication. The required network bandwidth is reduced by at least 20 percent. The Eetrnus CS800 supports Symantec OpenStorage for Replication and Direct Tape Creation.

Hardware Highlights: From Zero Client to Server-Star

With the first “real” Zero Client, Fujitsu presents one of the tradeshow highlights. The Zero Client is a frontend solution with all the advantages of a thin client.

Designed as an intelligent display and available in 19 and 22 inches, the Zero Client comes with a single cable for power supply and LAN. It needs no operating system no processor, no applications, and no local data backup.

The Zero Client merely establishes the connection to the virtual machine so there is no need for workplace management. This makes the “total cost of ownership” significantly lower than for the thin client.

Fujitsu also presents the latest additions to its notebook portfolio at CeBIT. The new Lifebook S710, for example, is equipped with Intel’s latest processor technology and offers excellent performance.

At only 2.15 kilograms, it is one of the lightest modular 14 inch notebooks. The model offers integrated 3G/UMTS, WLAN and Bluetooth functionality and a battery life of up to ten hours,, it will last an entire working day without recharging.

Fujitsu’s latest Tablet PC based upon the latest Intel platform, the Lifebook T900, has high processing power, multidirectional LED displays, and flexible electronic pen or multitouch operation.

Both Lifebooks are equipped with Fujitsu’s Advanced Theft Protection, a modular security solution. It especially caters to mobile users’ needs and offers maximum security for hardware and data; users can lock their notebooks in case of theft, erase sensitive data or locate the notebook and retrieve the notebook. 

Fujitsu also presents a number of products in its current hardware portfolio, for example the fireball among its powerful Primergy servers, the blade server BX900. Furthermore, client solutions such as the 0 Watt PC will be shown in action.
