Fujitsu Announces Foray In Cloud Domain

Tokyo, Japan-headquartered Fujitsu Ltd has announced its foray in the cloud domain.

The new service is called “Trusted-Service Platform”, which will comprise several thousand servers installed within a green datacenter. The company is setting up the server farm at the Fujitsu Tatebayashi System Center located in Gunma Prefecture of central Japan.

The platform will have a dedicated cloud security center that will ensure the safety of information and communications technology resources. This security center is scheduled to be set up by the end of April 2009. In addition, the platform will have an environment conducive to make business processes transparent, so that customer’s existing information and communications systems can be transferred with full reliability.

By its nature, a Cloud environment allows customers to access infrastructure as well as applications without having to make upfront investment of owning them. In the case of Fujitsu, customers will be able to access the company’s cloud remotely through new set of network services called FENICS II Universal Connect.

The company’s press release gives the typical price of System Platform Services at JPY 175,000 and above per month, and the price of Security Services at JPY 250,000 and above per month.

The new service will be showcased at the Fujitsu Forum 2009 which is taking place on May 14 and 15 at the Tokyo International Forum.
