Fujitsu Siemens Computers showcases the dynamic data center at the Microsoft IT Forum

Future-enabled solutions for Microsoft-based IT infrastructures


Munich/Germany, November 11, 2004 —Fujitsu Siemens Computers, a platinum sponsor of the Microsoft IT Forum (November 16-19 in Copenhagen, Denmark) will show attendees how they can “future-enable” their Microsoft-based IT infrastructures in the data center. An IT Director survey*, commissioned by Fujitsu Siemens Computers, asked senior IT managers to rate the importance of various issues for their IT spending. The top priority was quite clear: future-enabled IT infrastructures. Therefore, the leading European IT provider will demonstrate the dynamic data center, designed to enable customers, from mid-sized to large enterprise, to better utilize their existing servers today while enhancing business efficiency, business agility and business continuity for tomorrow’s environments.

To achieve this, the company will showcase the dynamic data center in the context of the TRIOLE™ strategy for optimized IT. Developed globally by the Fujitsu group of companies, TRIOLE has the three key answers when it comes to being prepared for the future. “All good things come in threes” is the old saying and TRIOLE™ features a triple combination of innovative technology – virtualization, automation and integration – for servers, storage solutions and software. For the customer in the data center, the strategy has three objectives: increased IT efficiency, flexibility and availability. And at the Microsoft IT Forum, Fujitsu Siemens Computers will address three topics as key examples of TRIOLE in action:

Virtual servers to enhance utilization: Fujitsu Siemens Computers will reveal how virtual machine concepts based on Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 and VMware ESX help to decrease costs through better server utilization. There will be a special focus on the automated relaunch of virtual machines or Windows Servers using Adaptive Services Control Center (ASCC™), a recently announced Fujitsu Siemens Computers tool for supporting the administration of automated data centers.

Increased productivity & enhanced compliance with easyXchange, an Exchange Server 2003 IT mail infrastructure solution developed by Fujitsu Siemens Computers based on its own in-house migration and mail server consolidation from 38 to two server sites. easyXchange encompasses migration, consolidation, backup and archiving, and is already in operation at various customer sites (e.g. Deutsche Messe AG).

Enhanced productivity through mobile access with Managed Mobility, a complete pre-tested solution stack allowing the easy and efficient connection of mobile devices, like the LIFEBOOK T4010, to corporate mail servers via GSM and GPRS networks or WLAN hotspots.

With its LIFEBOOK T4010, Fujitsu Siemens Computers has introduced the world’s first convertible notebook with a modular bay. With integrated wireless, 8.5 hours of battery life and weighing less than 2 kg, the LIFEBOOK T4010 offers true mobility. The unique screen technology allows users an extra-wide viewing angle, and the notebook can be transformed into a tablet PC by simply turning the display.

Fujitsu Siemens Computers is also one of the presenters at the forum. With special presentations and a keynote speech entitled “Best Practices: Automated Terminal Server Application Deployment” customers can better understand the dynamic data center approach.
