SUNNYVALE, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 12/08/09 -- Fujitsu (http://solutions.us.fujitsu.com) today announced it will be offering end-to-end enterprise cloud services designed to help enterprises and ISVs in North America quickly reap the cost and agility benefits of reliable, secure cloud computing. Fujitsu enterprise cloud services will let companies migrate existing multi-platform and multi-vendor mission-critical systems to enterprise clouds. Clients moving to the cloud will minimize their capital expense-intensive investment in technology and instead purchase a service that can be tailored to meet their specific business requirements, allowing them to align their IT costs with revenue. In preparation for a Q1 2010 launch, Fujitsu has upgraded its environmentally-friendly data center at its Sunnyvale, Calif., headquarters to the Tier III level and will also support the cloud application interface (API) specification, which it recently submitted to the Open Cloud Standards Incubator of the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) in an effort to promote interoperability of cloud computing environments. CoolRock Software, an ISV specializing in email management software for archiving, ediscovery and collaboration, and Intershop Communications, a leading ecommerce solutions ISV, intend to leverage the Fujitsu cloud computing solution to offer their software to clients using a SaaS business model.

Designed for enterprises in manufacturing, finance, healthcare, retail and other compute- and data-intensive industries, Fujitsu is offering a complete array of cloud solutions, including system construction, operations, maintenance services and full-featured vertical applications. In order to comply with vertical industry standards and regulations, retail transactional applications will be hosted in a PCI-compliant data center and health care applications will be hosted in a HIPAA-compliant environment.

News Highlights

• For enterprises, Fujitsu is offering new platform products and related support and services to help clients employ their existing multi-vendor, multi-platform, mission-critical systems as enterprise clouds. Fujitsu is working with partners in a variety of verticals, including finance, healthcare and retail, to provide tailored services and applications that will accelerate the time-to-value for cloud deployments. Fujitsu enterprise cloud services will help companies achieve greater scalability and agility, obtain faster response times from their systems, and reduce overall IT costs while simultaneously transferring their capital expenditures to an operating expense.
  
• ISVs can leverage hosted, pay-as-you-go cloud computing services from Fujitsu to quickly offer their software solutions using a SaaS model -- while staying focused on their core business and paying only for the infrastructure they really need. By partnering with Fujitsu instead of attempting to build their own cloud infrastructures, ISVs gain agility and scalability to react quickly to changing market conditions, and eliminate the cost and disruption of continually upgrading a data center. The Fujitsu solution also provides ISVs with a secure, performant and trusted platform upon which to build, test and demonstrate their solutions for clients.
  
• CoolRock Software, an independent software development company, provides corporate and government sector markets with TEAL (Transparent Email Archiving Library), a suite of enterprise software products for email archiving and management. CoolRock Software will partner with Fujitsu to offer its hosted email archiving service in North America.
  
• Intershop Communications AG (Prime Standard: ISH2) is a leading provider of comprehensive, state-of-the-art ecommerce solutions and a business process outsourcing provider, covering all aspects of online retailing, including fulfillment. Intershop Communications will partner with Fujitsu to offer as a SaaS solution the Intershop Enfinity high-performance software package for Internet sales.
  
• Scheduled for completion in early 2010, the multi-million dollar upgrade and expansion of the Fujitsu data center in Sunnyvale, Calif., will more than double available raised floor space, reduce carbon emissions by 21%, increase available power and cooling capabilities that will dramatically expand the data center's effective capacity by over 800%, and include Tier III-level enhancements to both electrical and mechanical redundancy. In keeping with continued commitment to Fujitsu "Green Policy Innovation," the data center design will incorporate green technology including a hydrogen fuel-cell generator supplying power to the cooling systems and the utilization of bio-fuels in the expanded generator farm. The redesign leverages market-leading technology from Fujitsu, including its PalmSecure^{<font size="-1">TM</font>} palm vein recognition technology for physical access control, Fujitsu 10-gigabit switch technology for core backbone fabric, and Fujitsu PRIMERGY^&reg; server and ETERNUS^&reg; storage technologies. Sunnyvale will join other premier Fujitsu Tier-III+ and Tier IV facilities in the Americas, including Dallas, Montreal and Trinidad, in delivering high-availability IT solutions.
  
• Fujitsu recently announced enhancements to its Interstage^&reg; Cloud BPM service and new programs that let ISVs and enterprises cost-effectively build process-based applications while remaining focused on their core competencies.
  
• The goal of the cloud API submitted by Fujitsu to the Open Cloud Standards Incubator of the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) is to maintain interoperability among various cloud computing environments, so clients do not need to worry about vendor lock-in when adopting a particular cloud computing platform. Fujitsu plans to actively participate in the standardization process of the DMTF and aims to implement the API as part of its next-generation IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) platform.
  
• Fujitsu has previously announced enterprise cloud services in Japan and EMEA. The announcement in North America is another step in a global rollout.
