Fujitsu has launched six support services in Japan for building and operating cloud environments, which employ open source software (OSS).
The new services are aimed at corporations and organisations that are building and operating private cloud environments with OSS, and cloud services providers that deploy public cloud services using OSS.
The new OSS cloud is build by using templates that have been pre-verified to work with both Fujitsu hardware and OSS.
In addition, Fujitsu will be extending the use of the same templates to its On-Demand Virtual System Service, OSS cloud environments can also be built on Fujitsu’s On-Demand Virtual System Service public cloud. This will enable customers to use it as back-up for their own systems in times of emergency, or to supplement their own systems during periods of peak demand, said the company.
The new support services offer OSS cloud platforms and 18 different OSS cloud templates, in which the OSS has been pre-verified to work with hardware, including Fujitsu PRIMERGY PC servers and ETERNUS storage systems.
Three services: OSS cloud platform building service; OSS cloud template building service; and OSS cloud system building service – use components to build OSS cloud environments.
However, the remaining three services are designed to provide operational support after the cloud deployment: SupportDesk OSS cloud platform operational support service; SupportDesk OSS cloud template operational support services; and SupportDesk OSS cloud system operational support services, the company said.
Fujitsu said that the new services features include: use of pre-verified OSS cloud platforms and templates enable OSS cloud environments to be built quickly; rich templates catering to PaaS and SaaS; and interoperability with Fujitsu On-Demand Virtual System Service.
