1 PRIMEFLEX vshape gets your data center into shape. Immediately.

2 Just imagine that you could make the complexity of your IT infrastructure simply disappear. Just by installing a reference architecture. A complete solution that would also enable you to cope with rapidly growing data volumes, without capacity or performance problems. Do you have any idea how much this could save you? It would be up to 40 percent in terms of time and 30 percent in terms of cost. And without the risks of typical do-it-yourself projects. Sounds convincing? If so, you should take a closer look at the benefits FUJITSU Integrated System PRIMEFLEX vshape can give you. 40% savings in terms of time 30% savings in terms of cost terms of tim Without the risk of typical do-it-yourself projects 2

3 PRIMEFLEX vshape paves the way to virtualization and the cloud e Faster return on investment (ROI) not do-it-yourself (DIY) PRIMEFLEX vshape enables the consolidation of IT, which means businesses need less hardware and can make more efficient use of existing assets, thus reducing operational costs and effort. To achieve this, the virtualization reference architecture offers a simple concept with highly scalable industry-standard components including storage, networking and virtualization software, all running on Fujitsu s PRIMERGY servers. It also provides the perfect foundation for private clouds. All components are harmonized and validated as a single solution delivering reliability, peace of mind and less risk. All too often we see companies working with a bag of bits. Designing infrastructure in this way means having to engage with multiple vendors. But consider the IT manager who is sick and tired of buying a bag of bits from one partner and who then has to speak to five other vendors to validate the configuration into a working solution. Why won t one company take full responsibility for the whole solution? Well, with PRIMEFLEX vshape, we ve done just that. The result is a huge reduction in the cost of design and time to deployment, while freeing up valuable internal IT resources, reducing implementation risks and optimizing the ROI of virtualization comprehensively. Customer Benefits Reduced risk Reference architectures tested and validated No unpleasant surprises when integrating solution components Reduced time to market Preassembled systems for different usage scenarios Simple, fast and risk-free implementation Reduced cost Ideal IT infrastructure for virtualized environments based on industry standards cost-efficient to scale Easy administration reduced operational costs 3

5 Getting there faster There are many reasons to adopt a different approach to IT projects in data centers. Among the more important: to consolidate environments, increase the availability of applications, increase the mobility of enterprise IT, and improve responsiveness to disasters. Software Equally important are reducing hardware costs, simplifying maintenance and, of course, saving energy. PRIMEFLEX IT managers also expect a successful virtualization strategy to save time and resources, because it increases operational transparency and enables IT departments to push ahead with innovative projects, like switching over to the cloud. Server vshape Storage How can all this be achieved as quickly and successfully as possible, so that enterprises can take advantage of the improvements? The solution that does it all: PRIMEFLEX vshape. Connectivity 5

6 PRIMEFLEX vshape Reference architectures Take off with virtualization now Avoid unnecessary investments and start with packages for server virtualization and Virtual Desktop Infrastructures (VDI) that perfectly match your requirements and deliver optimal performance, capacity and functionality for the workloads expected. Simply use a reference architecture solution comprised of perfectly synchronized components for your project. Expand this solution as needed with enhancement options like backup and disaster recovery. And scale your solution efficiently and conveniently whenever you need more virtual machines. You can even start out in the cloud if you like! Have you been thinking about setting up a cloud environment? PRIMEFLEX vshape is the ideal basis for taking off into the private cloud. Thanks to its modular architecture, with high-performance components, vshape is extremely flexible and versatile. For example, you could start with a solution for server virtualization, and then enhance it to include cloud management for VMs sometime later. Packages from 25, 50 or 100 up to 2,400 VMs Packages from 250 up to 2,000 virtual desktops For server virtualization or VDI you get just the right package for your requirements, and it can be scaled or enhanced at low cost. 6

7 An optimized platform for every scenario No matter whether you want more performance and reliability for your business-critical applications, or need a platform for desktop virtualization, business intelligence or cloud computing: We can make all of this possible quickly and without risks. PRIMEFLEX vshape has the flexibility to be sized and optimized to accommodate many different usage scenarios. Hybrid Cloud Private Cloud PRIMEFLEX Disaster Recovery Software Backup Server vshape Storage Installation Services Connectivity Migration Services BYOD VDI Applications 7

8 PRIMEFLEX vshape for Virtual Desktop Infrastructure Improve service quality for end users IT services for end users traditionally pose difficult challenges for IT departments: Workplaces are changing constantly, mobility is the source of new technological issues and requires solutions that ensure security and compliance, and the BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) trend is spreading as more and more employees want to use their own devices at work. All of that requires an effective, centralized strategy covering all of the devices used in an enterprise. Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) is just the right concept: bring the same workplace to any device in a secure and easy manner. VDI is ready to use with vshape The design and configuration of a VDI is unquestionably complex and, based on experience, some risk is involved if the final implementation does not meet expectations. Skip the effort, costs and stress involved by simply taking advantage of the know-how and security available to you through the vshape reference architecture for VDI. It integrates all of the hardware and middleware components in one solution, with desktop virtualization software from VMware or Citrix. The vshape reference architecture for VDI has been tested and validated for 250 and 500 users, and it offers high flexibility and scalability along with easy management. The Warren School in the UK, serving 1,200 students along with teaching and support staff, had outgrown its current IT infrastructure. With Fujitsu vshape, the school has chosen a high-availability, futureready IT system and solved the BYOD problem at the same time. From the very first conversations with Fujitsu, we felt there was a real commitment from them. We were very excited about the solution that they were proposing and the added value that we could see from working directly with experts. Andrew Szymanski, Network Manager, The Warren School 8
