Fujitsu Delivers TRIOLE Strategy For IT Optimization

Fujitsu outlined the global expansion of its TRIOLE strategy for the optimized design, development and deployment of highly reliable and adaptive business-critical IT infrastructure in heterogeneous environments. Fujitsu Computer Systems will play a key role in bringing products, solutions and services based on the TRIOLE strategy to customers in North America, allowing them to increase business efficiency, agility and continuity.

One example of the TRIOLE strategy in action is the FlexFrame for mySAP Business Suite solution. The FlexFrame for mySAP Business Suite solution replaces yesterday's complex environment of multiple dedicated servers with a modular concept that incorporates the latest business-critical computing technologies like Fujitsu PRIMERGY servers. This modular approach simplifies the IT infrastructure and offers on-demand provisioning and other autonomic features to reduce TCO by 30 percent or greater.

"Over the years, Fujitsu has amassed a wealth of knowledge in the implementation and management of comprehensive IT solutions," said Toshio Morohoshi, president and chief executive officer for Fujitsu Computer Systems. "We are able to combine this real world experience with best-of-breed technologies to deliver highly adaptive IT solutions that help customers reduce TCO, improve service levels and increase business profitability."

The TRIOLE strategy is based on real life customer experiences and three core technological areas in which Fujitsu has leading-edge expertise: integration, virtualization and automation. Virtualization separates applications and data from dedicated systems; automation refers to the autonomic self-healing and adaptation of IT infrastructure to meet changing business needs; and integration is the fast, low cost and low risk implementation of those technologies across the full IT infrastructure spectrum, including server, storage, network and middleware elements. Fujitsu has applied these core concepts to develop pre-verified solution templates that will serve as functional building blocks to speed the construction of highly reliable open-system installations.

"A major advantage of the TRIOLE strategy is that Fujitsu bears the cost of Quality Assurance (QA)," said Vernon Turner, group vice president for IDC. "Removing QA costs and complexity off the customer floor significantly reduces the risk for customers and allows them to implement stable and reliable systems via a shared knowledge base."

Over the next year, Fujitsu will continue its efforts to boost the reliability and reinforce the interconnectivity of its key server, storage, network and middleware offerings under the TRIOLE strategy.
