Fujitsu ökar prestandan på PRIMEFLEX vShape med PRIMERGY M2 Servers

Sammanfattning:

• PRIMEFLEX vShape referensarkitektur nu 20 procent mer kraftfull genom införandet av PRIMERGY M2-servrar

• PRIMEFLEX vShape gynnar kunderna oavsett skede av virtualisering

• Kanalpartners värdesätter den "standardiserade anpassningen" som erbjuds av PRIMEFLEX vShape

Stockholm, 25 juli 2016 – Fujitsu lanserar idag den senaste versionen av PRIMEFLEX vShape integrated system som nu drar nytta av 20 procents ökad prestanda jämfört med sin tidigare generation genom inkluderandet av Fujitsus senaste kraftfulla PRIMERGY M2-servrar..

Den senaste generationen dual-socket FUJITSU Server PRIMERGY drivs av nya Intel® Xeon® E5-2600 v4-processorer och DDR4 minnesteknik med upp till 2400 MHz. Den är utformad för att snabbt behandla arbetsbelastningar medan låg energiförbrukning upprätthålls. Denna effektivitet förstärks av de minskade kylningskostnaderna tack vare Fujitsu’s Cool-safe® Advanced Thermal Design.

The PRIMEFLEX vShape represents an out of the box integrated system for the data center, made up of industry-standard networking, storage and server components, that are optimized to handle virtual workloads.

It is vShape’s flexibility that enables enterprises to rapidly deploy solutions that exactly meet their immediate requirements, regardless of how far they are on the road to virtualization, and easily scale in future to handle demand.

Peter Bradbury, Director of Finance, at UK-based Ashgate Hospice Care commented: “As a non-profit organization, we needed to find a solid IT base that would allow us to stop firefighting day-to-day IT issues, so we could focus on overhauling our online fundraising efforts. We deployed PRIMEFLEX vShape to upgrade our existing, ageing and very silo-ed infrastructure, and to extend it to deliver virtualization. The effects were almost instant. As a result, we were able to see an immediate increase in funds raised estimated to be an additional £60,000 in the first year. The migration took just a single weekend and caused no downtime.”

The integrated system is available in validated bundles of multiple different sizes, starting with just 25 virtual machines to address the needs of SMBs, up to configurations for 2,400 virtual machines, designed for large enterprises. This approach delivers ‘standardized customization’ where each customer can quickly deploy the right combination of features or outcomes with the peace of mind that all elements will work together.

Fujitsu’s SELECT Channel partners are also benefitting from the way that PRIMEFLEX vShape delivers ‘standardized customization’, with many finding that even large bundles are easy to install, as each configuration comes with an intuitive, step-by-step installation guide or Fujitsu Professional Services. Jason Fitzgerald, Managing Director at Fujitsu channel partner AAG, adds: “Traditionally the testing and sizing phases of projects are the least predictable, but with vShape we know exactly how long it will take. Not only can we manage more contracts but we are also able to deploy even complex installations quickly. In some cases, it has taken us longer to unwrap the equipment than it has to get it up and running.”

Depending on a customer’s business requirements, the functionality delivered by vShape can be further tailored, for example by adding more disks or shelves to increase storage capacity, by including disaster recovery, or by incorporating backup to an ETERNUS CS200c appliance. Customers can also choose between VMware or Microsoft virtualization software and have on top the choice of implementing either VMware Horizon View or Citrix XenDesktop for their virtual desktop infrastructure. Furthermore, the integrated system can be used to deliver not just virtualization, but also private cloud deployments. For the latter, customers simply need to deploy validated VMware vRealize cloud management software. PRIMEFLEX vShape also offers a highly-competitive alternative for organizations where all-in-one, hyperconverged storage is not the right fit.

Pricing and availability

FUJITSU Integrated System PRIMEFLEX vShape and FUJITSU Storage ETERNUS CS200c S3 are available directly from Fujitsu and via distribution partners in Europe, Middle East, India and Africa. Prices vary by configuration and country.
