OREANDA-NEWS. Fujitsu announced the Japan launch of FUJITSU Integrated System Cloud Ready Blocks, a vertically integrated virtualization and cloud platform that enables the quick and easy deployment and operation of virtual and cloud environments. Representing the second offering based on Dynamic Integrated Systems—Fujitsu's portfolio of vertically integrated platforms—the new product enhances the functionality of the previously released solution, Cloud Ready Blocks.

The new product leverages the expertise that Fujitsu has accumulated in building and operating virtual, private cloud, public cloud and other systems for both customer and in-house applications to provide customers with fully optimized infrastructure, from the configuration of server, storage, and network infrastructure, to its operational design and management.

This product offers enhanced functionality as an infrastructure platform upon which automated operation is available when adding resources, and makes modernization possible by lowering operating costs through integrated infrastructure system monitoring across the entire physical, virtual and cloud platform. It also performs as a platform that allows for innovation with hybrid cloud support. In addition, by including a switch that supports network virtualization based on the recently announced software defined networking, this product removes the difficulties of network operation when expanding system scale, cutting down on operational and administrative costs across the system's entire lifecycle by up to 60%.

The new platform will be steadily rolled out worldwide under the brand name FUJITSU Integrated System, and will be exhibited in Japan at the Fujitsu Forum, held at the Tokyo International Forum from May 16 to 17, 2013.
