PRIMEFLEX for VMware Cloud Foundation provides a turnkey solution for SDDC, giving enterprises the highest levels of IT system flexibility, efficiency and agility. PRIMEFLEX for VMware Cloud Foundation delivers enterprise-ready capabilities by combining certified Fujitsu hardware with VMware Cloud Foundation, which brings together VMware software-defined compute, storage and networking into a unified, easy to operate stack.
This latest addition to the Fujitsu PRIMEFLEX line-up of integrated systems is optimised for VMware’s enterprise-ready cloud infrastructure for private and public clouds, and leverages certified Fujitsu PRIMERGY servers with Brocade VDX switches. PRIMEFLEX takes advantage of VMware SDDC Manager – VMware’s new lifecycle automation software included in VMware Cloud Foundation – to help shorten set-up time and reduce ongoing maintenance through the automation of operational tasks including system monitoring, software patching and updates.
Ease of implementation is one reason why enterprises are increasingly turning to preconfigured PRIMEFLEX systems. Customers are taking the fast track to productivity as they recognise that do-it-yourself approaches to building their own hyper-converged systems can be incredibly complex to deploy and manage.
Uwe Neumeier, Vice President and Head of Data Center, EMEIA Product Business, Fujitsu, comments: “Enterprise IT teams have to continuously respond to changing demands by delivering unprecedented levels of scalability and agility. They have increasingly turned to virtualisation, first in the compute space, and now to fully virtualised, hyper-converged infrastructures that embrace software-defined storage and networking. For these environments, PRIMEFLEX for VMware Cloud Foundation provides for the fastest possible deployment of a fully software-defined datacentre infrastructure. This infrastructure can be deployed on premise or in a hybrid cloud service.”
