1 Experience server virtualization Find the fast track to greater flexibility and lower costs Intel Xeon processor.

2 As business priorities surge ahead, are you keeping pace? Today s IT infrastructures must be ultra-agile to meet fast-changing business challenges and opportunities. Planning horizons are shorter, revenue streams are uncertain, and flexibility is required at every turn. For IT directors and managers, the pressures have never been greater - especially when it comes to server provision and management. While the business wants to drive forward relentlessly, your team is battling to keep the lights on with day-to-day operations. Then there s growing complexity to tackle in your data center, challenges with power and cooling, and a limited amount of staff and resources.

3 Forward-thinkers recognize that change is essential When these pressures increase, it s like a rope being pulled tighter and tighter to a point where it s fraying and will soon break. But too often, this reality is only appreciated by forward-thinking IT directors and managers. They recognize that something has to change fast. But it s frustrating if their regular IT partners fail to come up with cost-effective solutions not just more of the same. What s needed is a new and sustainable approach, with flexible infrastructures that include servers, networks and storage. The answer is server virtualization. Organizations can then benefit from improved management and the ability to exploit technologies and trends to deliver value to business lines without extra costs and risks. That way, resources will be fully aligned to meet business priorities. Fujitsu enables you to take control With our help, you can address these fundamental issues with a proven and innovative server virtualization strategy. We make it possible for you to deliver outstanding performance, year after year. Intel Xeon processor.

4 Capitalize on the full benefits of server virtualization Transform your IT infrastructure faster, reduce costs and reap the rewards without concerns over risk. makes it possible to reduce costs associated with your server infrastructure by a factor of five. At the same time, you can increase your application availability and have a new service ready with just a few clicks. 20+ With server virtualization, you can replace 20+ servers with 1new server. This gives you massive CAPEX saving and lower OPEX costs from using less energy, space and management resources. Gain major advantages: Increase application availability massively. New applications can be deployed rapidly. The virtualization layer lets you run old and new operating systems on new, energy efficient, powerful hardware enabling any virtual machine to run on any physical server. Easily move applications from one server to another automatically without disruption.

5 Do you want a pain-free transition to server virtualization? It s now within reach, because the hard work has been done up-front. A do-it-yourself approach to server virtualization brings a lot of complexity and risk. New servers, storage and networking have to be selected, procured and integrated. Then extensive tests must be conducted, because the compatibility of the individual components is not always guaranteed. This requires time, resources and a deep knowledge of all components and their various interdependencies. It would be challenging even with limitless resources. But Fujitsu provides a better and more cost-effective solution to server virtualization. We ve delivered successful solutions for organizations of all types, the world over. And we ve used this know-how to create ways to fast track server virtualization. With our help, you don t have to experience all the pain, cost, and risk that normally comes with integration. Instead, you can gain the rewards faster.
