Fujitsu: Availability of Integrated System PrimeFlex for VMware vSAN

Fujitsu America, Inc. announces the availability of Integrated System PrimeFlex for VMware vSAN, a hyper converged infrastructure (HCI) product that integrates software-defined storage (SDS) technology into a physical server.

By leveraging PrimeFlex for VMware vSAN, IT organizatins can more rapidly deploy the core virtual infrastructure foundation needed for their software-defined data centers (SDDC).

It is tested and delivered on server Primergy, the server platform optimized for virtualized environments.

The company delivers technology based on improvements in usability and operability on top of Xeon Scalable processor-based server platforms and VMware vSAN 6.6 for increased performance and security.

This configuration delivers the power and flexibility enterprises need to deploy a number of cost-cutting, efficiency-boosting infrastructure types, including VDI, virtualization infrastructure and private cloud infrastructure. Furthermore, PrimeFlex for vSAN ships loaded with the company-developed software, ServerView Infrastructure Manager (ISM) for PrimeFlex, which helps eliminate issues related to installation, operation and expansion. As a simple next-generation platform, ISM for PrimeFlex enables flexible infrastructure operation of a customer’s business environment as it grows and evolves.
