Fujitsu PRIMEFLEX Integrated Systems accelerate the era of the business-centric data centre

The dawn of a new era of the business-centric data centre is heralded by the introduction today of PRIMEFLEX, the new brand for Fujitsu integrated systems. With PRIMEFLEX, Fujitsu is empowering organisations to accelerate their business expansion, eliminate complexity and reduce risk by enabling the faster deployment of more powerful data centre technologies.

Integrated systems comprised of server, storage and connectivity, coupled with software and management layers, pre-integrated and pre-tested for specific workloads, are gaining market share thanks to their recognised ability to create new value for businesses. Faster time to market and worry-free lifecycle management for integrated systems are cutting operational cost and complexity, by eliminating the need for customers to manage their own ad-hoc and laborious system integration projects.

Fujitsu is introducing the PRIMEFLEX brand for its family of integrated systems, a comprehensive line-up of more than 20 business-centric solutions, to cover the entire scope of needs in the data centre. PRIMEFLEX systems, which encompass solutions from Fujitsu partners such as Microsoft, VMware and SAP, are all packaged and tested by Fujitsu. Customers can also choose Fujitsu Lifecycle Management for managing system updates and ongoing stack compatibility, as well as Fujitsu Solution Contract to tackle unplanned system downtime.

New PRIMEFLEX line-up among the industry’s broadest
PRIMEFLEX represents one of the industry’s broadest offerings of powerful data centre solutions, including both ‘ready to run’ pre-integrated systems that can be rapidly brought into production and so-called Reference Architectures, which offer more customisable pre-validated and pre-tested design blueprints.
The line-up, which encompasses more than 20 different solutions, includes Fujitsu PRIMEFLEX for SAP HANA, which optimises high-performance real-time database solutions and PRIMEFLEX for VMware EVO: RAIL, one of the industry’s first hyper-converged infrastructures optimised for VMware. PRIMEFLEX systems also power many services within the Fujitsu Cloud.

A new addition to the PRIMEFLEX family is a powerful and scalable platform that provides business users with a more cost-effective way of creating actionable analytics from big data. Fujitsu PRIMEFLEX for Hadoop analyses large volumes of data to extract and make accessible meaningful business-relevant information, combining the convenience of pre-configured and pre-tested hardware and the economic advantages of open source software plus system support and lifecycle management.

For worry-free operation of all integrated systems, Fujitsu offers comprehensive system integration services capabilities, turnkey data centre services including hosting, managed data centre and cloud Infrastructure-as-a-Service. Pay-as-you-go financing options are also available.
