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
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.

for their SAP operations. FlexFrame for SAP is an end-to-end
operating concept for service-oriented SAP infrastructure that
enables the consolidation of SAP applications on industry standard
platforms delivering a high quality of service. It dynamically
assigns physical and virtual servers to SAP applications on
demand. The pre-tested delivered solution dramatically
reduces costs in all phases of operations such as planning and
implementation, operation for one or several clients and change
management. The high agility of the solution enables easy
scalability of servers and applications during operation. Here’s how
K + S Group implemented private cloud:

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
