Fujitsu drives data centre transformation

Fujitsu has announced new options for enabling businesses to run mission-critical SAP HANA workloads on a hyper-converged infrastructure. These options will allow businesses to manage and scale advanced, fully-virtualized SAP solution environments.The Fujitsu Integrated System PrimeFlex for VMware vSAN unlocks the benefits of decoupling compute, storage and networking capabilities from underlying hardware. This means businesses can enjoy cloud-like economies by virtualizing entire data centers running all workloads – including SAP applications and other business applications running on SAP HANA – on a common, software-defined pool of resources.As a result, high-performance applications can be scaled according to demand, with the benefit of a unified management of resources. Optimising on-premises resources delivers cost savings and powers the performance of data-rich applications. This enables enterprises to plan for the flexible growth of SAP solution landscapes in line with the demands of the digital era – while the hyper-converged approach builds a bridge to future cloud integration.
