SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Fujitsu today
announced that it is adding new offerings for customers running or
planning to adopt SAP® software, in a further expansion of its
PRIMEFLEX® portfolio of Integrated Systems. These additions extend
the PRIMEFLEX brand, which has received a very positive response
from customers and is emerging as one of the industry's most
comprehensive set of pre-configured and pre-tested ready-to-run
systems for the business-centric data center.
Fujitsu continues to enhance the PRIMEFLEX portfolio of
workload-specific Integrated Systems with two infrastructure
solutions purpose-built for SAP software landscapes: FUJITSU
Integrated System PRIMEFLEX for SAP Landscapes, and reference
architecture versions of the FUJITSU Integrated System PRIMEFLEX
for SAP HANA®.
Both new additions to the PRIMEFLEX family draw on Fujitsu's
close working relationship with SAP and leverage the company's deep
expertise in designing solutions based on proven Fujitsu
intellectual property that support SAP software deployments with
outstanding levels of business continuity, ease of use and
predictable performance.
FUJITSU Integrated System PRIMEFLEX for SAP Landscapes
integrates Fujitsu's renowned FlexFrame Orchestrator technology
into a ready-to-run PRIMEFLEX solution, enabling the rapid,
high-quality deployment and rollout of infrastructure for SAP
workloads, applications and databases, including SAP HANA.
Fujitsu's powerful FlexFrame Orchestrator software now also
powers PRIMEFLEX for SAP Landscapes. This enables data center
managers to simplify the deployment and operations of multi-site
SAP software installations while also reducing planned system
downtime. FlexFrame Orchestrator software has been widely
recognized by customers around the world for its ability to
dramatically accelerate the provisioning of SAP software updates,
and is a key enabler for the rapid integration of new SAP
services.
FUJITSU Integrated System PRIMEFLEX for SAP HANA,
formerly known as Fujitsu Power Appliance for SAP HANA, has enjoyed
a very positive response from customers since it was introduced in
early 2012. Fujitsu is now introducing reference architecture
versions of PRIMEFLEX for SAP HANA to address demand from customers
and system integration partners for more flexible configurations.
These enable the creation of purpose-built systems for SAP HANA to
meet exact customer requirements, creating secure, reliable
architectures that meet the highest demands for running business-
and mission-critical SAP software landscapes.
With more than 20 Integrated Systems on offer, the
still-expanding PRIMEFLEX line-up from FUJITSU is distinguished by
its focus on providing customers with powerful solutions for the
data center that deliver much faster time to value. All PRIMEFLEX
systems include servers, storage, network connectivity and software
that are pre-defined, pre-configured and pre-tested, therefore
shortening time to production and helping ensure trouble-free
implementation.
Jens-Peter Seick, Vice President,
Product Management and Development, at Fujitsu Technology Solutions
comments: "By bringing these new PRIMEFLEX systems to market, we
are providing customers running mission-critical SAP workloads with
the confidence that their underlying technology can dynamically and
rapidly adapt to ever more demanding end-user needs. A hallmark of
PRIMEFLEX systems is the focus on providing easy-to-manage systems
that support seamless and unlimited system growth, all the way from
single-node systems through to enterprise-class top-of-the-range
24-node systems."
Simplified and flexible management of powerful
infrastructure
Kuwaiti trading company Al-Sayer Holding turned to Fujitsu when it
wanted to introduce SAP HANA to consolidate its business
applications landscape, which spans a wide range of high-quality
customer services, specifically for automotive and commercial
vehicles, and the sale of spare parts. In addition to general
trading and car imports, Al-Sayer Holding also operates in the
fields of car rental, engineering, insurance brokerage and trading,
and operates factories producing soft drinks and animal feed.
To fully exploit the vast capabilities of its new SAP software
landscape, Al-Sayer Holding also required a powerful infrastructure
and a smart operations concept, and chose Fujitsu PRIMEFLEX for SAP
HANA to provide simplified and flexible management of the entire
system.
Mr. Sayer Al-Sayer, a board member at Al-Sayer Holding, says:
"With FUJITSU Integrated System PRIMEFLEX for SAP HANA and
PRIMEFLEX for SAP Landscapes, we experienced simplified and
accelerated deployment and operations. This also laid the
foundation for a quick path to productive use of the new SAP
applications and the SAP HANA database. As constant availability is
critical for running and growing our business, we highly appreciate
the support contract which not only ensures the recovery of
individual components, but of the entire infrastructure solution
according to the required service levels. Choosing to partner with
Fujitsu has given us the confidence that we can provide business
users with an agile and highly reliable platform."
Another customer already successfully using Fujitsu PRIMEFLEX
for SAP HANA to simplify its SAP landscape is the Modern Bakery in
Dubai, one of the most innovative
bakeries in the Middle East, with
ultra-modern fully automatic and semi-automatic production lines.
The Modern Bakery produces huge varieties of products, serving
thousands of stores across the Middle
East, and uses Fujitsu's technology to simplify the
management of its systems running on SAP HANA, which manage bakery
production.
According to Modern Bakery CEO and Managing Partner Dr.
Fawaz Al Bahri: "We picked Fujitsu
based on its comprehensive portfolio of infrastructure solutions
and long experience deploying SAP solutions. Fujitsu PRIMEFLEX for
SAP HANA helped us to go live much faster than we thought. We
appreciate the ease of getting started and feel we have all the
support we need to focus on our business rather than on the
integration work."

FUJITSU Integrated System PRIMEFLEX for SAP Landscapes and FUJITSU
Integrated System PRIMEFLEX for SAP HANA are both available to
