With the arrival of cloud computing, IT decision makers have been given a unique opportunity to lead their organizations through challenging times. Cloud computing delivers a level of flexibility, efficiency and cost control that was impossible even a few years ago.

Fujitsu Dynamic Cloud is the continuing development of the Dynamic Infrastructures strategy. Based on that strategy, Fujitsu has developed customer-centric solutions which enable you to use cloud computing in your enterprise in ways that are easy and secure. It is a very flexible concept that helps IT organizations to meet the challenges posed by their IT more effectively: Dynamic Cloud Services include standardized IT services from the cloud which you can use within a very short period of time. And this is possible without having to deal with the complex operation of hardware and software.

Furthermore, for enterprises that would like to implement their own cloud infrastructure, Fujitsu offers Dynamic Cloud Infrastructures that are already pre-integrated and tested.

Fujitsu includes best-in-class products from partners to provide highest efficiency and flexibility, e.g. NetApp storage systems. This has multiple benefits including faster implementation and earlier savings with minimum capital outlay. One example is Fujitsu’s FlexFrame for SAP which has been recognized by Forrester Research as a perfect base for private cloud environments. Fujitsu provides Dynamic Cloud Services with its global homogeneous cloud platform combined with technologies from

our partners like NetApp storage. Fujitsu offers unique options, from “as a Service” provisioning to delivering building blocks for Private Clouds, thus giving customers the ability to transition smoothly from today’s data center architectures and technologies to the innovative sourcing mix provided by clouds to precisely fulfill individual customer requirements.

NetApp, Fujitsu, and Fujitsu Technology Solutions (FTS) deliver flexible, adaptable solutions that increase your ability to quickly respond to business changes, give you better resource utilization for efficient and responsive provisioning, and provide operational efficiencies that will

help you reduce costs and maximize your budget.

A Dynamic Cloud – right now, today

Page 2: Cloud Solution Brief Fujitsu_EN

At Fujitsu, we believe cloud computing is more than a technology

model. It can change the way organizations do things, impacting

processes and people alike.

Optimization with a global homogeneous offeringThe Fujitsu Dynamic Cloud supports global as well as local

customers in improving existing business processes and

collaboration among employees, customers and partners, and

through new offerings the ability to retain current customers and

address new target groups while using their IT more efficiently

than ever before. This can be achieved on the basis of a global

homogeneous Infrastructure as a Service offering and the

provisioning of services worldwide from standardized data centers

according to the highest standards of quality.

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)Infrastructure as a Service bundles the offerings for provisioning

virtual and dedicated servers, storage capacities in various classes

as well as workplace environments. This offer is well suited for

small and medium sized enterprises which we serve via channel

partners as resellers. With ServerView Resource Orchestrator, Fujitsu

offers resource orchestration software that enables IT organizations

to deliver IT infrastructure resources faster while at the same

time lowering the barriers for users to gain access to IT resources.

Automation of provisioning processes helps to streamline

infrastructure administration workflows with a positive impact on

operational data center costs. A logical server concept hides the

complexity of the underlying physical infrastructure and provides

users with an interface from which they can request server resources

easily and efficiently. As one of the major pre-requisites for operation

in enterprise data centers, ServerView Resource Orchestrator offers

operation security supporting role-based administration for multi-

tenant environments. Moreover, users can choose from various

high-availability options to ensure business continuity, ranging

from failover solutions for single physical and virtual servers, up to

protection against complete site failures.

Dynamic Cloud ServicesThe cloud you want – the help you need

Private and Enterprise CloudsWhen customers face restrictions putting certain applications and

services into our cloud due to governance reasons or because

they prefer a gradual approach to the cloud, our Dynamic Cloud

Infrastructures are the solution. They are the predefined and

tested combination of infrastructure, middleware and software

helping customers to build their own cloud. These dedicated

environments always include billing, provisioning and security

functionalities that also bridge into our Dynamic Cloud Services

to enable a Hybrid Cloud scenario based on our Trusted and

Private Clouds. The build in interface for communicating with

the Fujitsu cloud allow for quick disaster recovery and deliver

additional capacity and storage on demand, for example during

peak loads. By using standardized infrastructure components

along with packaged installation and migration services, we

ensure a high level of security plus the agility typical of the cloud.

Dynamic Cloud Infrastructures are usually managed by Fujitsu

even though the infrastructure is hosted at the customer’s site in

a Private Cloud environment. If the customer assumes exclusive

responsibility for operating the cloud, we call this an Enterprise

Cloud environment.

Cloud ConsultingHow can enterprises benefit from the cloud? How complex is it

and are the possible risks? Every enterprise must determine for

itself how much potential is in the cloud and the options available

to improve IT performance must be identified and included in

an overall concept. Fujitsu can fully support you in conducting

this evaluation: Starting with the definition of objectives, the

clarification of IT asset ownership and ending with the definition

of the right sourcing strategy. If your enterprise would like to gain

some initial experience with Cloud Computing – for example in

software development or for workplace systems – you can take

advantage of the »Try & Buy« option. The consulting also covers

the strategic aspects for optimizing internal or cross-enterprise

collaboration, business intelligence or even the fulfillment of

compliance requirements. Cloud consulting is based on proven

methodologies and tools for analysis and planning which Fujitsu

has used successfully for many years in international projects. The

consulting focuses especially on the integration of Dynamic Clouds

in enterprise IT, SLAs as well as data privacy and data security.

As an inhouse IT service provider K+S IT Services GmbH

supports K+S Group companies wordwide. To meet the

requirements as permanent availability of all SAP services,

optimal

performance and adequate capacity K+S decided to completely

virtualize resources and build a private cloud infrastructure.

FlexFrame for SAP turned out to be the perfect infrastructure

base to meet demands of the K+S Group and at the same

time allows significant TCO reduction. Today the FlexFrame

for SAP implementation for K+S Group’s private cloud consists

of a two-site configuration where both configurations are

production environments. A total of 136 PRIMERGY blade and

stand-alone servers, and NetApp FAS systems in a MetroCluster

configuration are distributed over two physically separate

locations. This approach provides 100% protection against

outages and eliminates the cost of a standby environment.

Significant increase in the performance of SAP Business

Warehouse environment was also achieved through the

use of Fujitsu’s BW Accelerator Infrastructure solution that

incorporates a dedicated NetApp FAS3140 storage system. The

recent integration of VMware into FlexFrame for SAP and the

introduction of the latest version of SAP’s Adaptive Computing

Controller enable virtualization both at the hardware and

application level, a first in the market. K+S Group’s SAP
