Fujitsu and NetApp announced their plans to deepen their partnership globally and provide more tightly integrated and automated storage and data management solutions. The companies intend to jointly develop integrated products and services—specifically in the areas of virtualization, storage and data management, and storage services and solutions.
"We introduced our Dynamic Infrastructures portfolio a year ago as the cornerstone of Fujitsu's global IT portfolio," said Kai Flore, President and CEO, Fujitsu Technology Solutions. "NetApp's strengths in unified storage align perfectly with our high-quality, high-performance and highly reliable Eternus SAN and storage software, creating a joint comprehensive storage portfolio to meet customer's every need."
The companies are currently working to integrate NetApp's storage management software into Fujitsu's resource management framework. The framework dynamically orchestrates servers, networks, storage and software into logical system platforms to run applications on demand. It also enables easier administration of data center environments, allows single console management of the entire infrastructure, and increases productivity and operational efficiency through ease of use.
The integrated offerings from the leading IT vendors will help customers reduce their capital expenditures, leverage their current operational experience. The companies also announced their intention to implement a global, joint go-to-market strategy involving complementary products.
The full integration of NetApp V-series with Fujitsu Eternus will enable customers to preserve their current investments with virtually no disruption to their operations.
The companies also intend to develop and offer a joint portfolio of advanced services including consulting, professional services, managed storage services and maintenance services.
