Fujitsu and Linux vendor Asianux have entered into a partnership to jointly deliver advanced Linux server products. Under the collaboration, Fujitsu will provide Asianux with technical inquiry support and related adaptation information and in turn, Asianux will validate and certify Fujitsu’s PRIMERGY servers on Asianux Server 3 operating system (OS).
Fujitsu and Asianux consortium members will also pursue joint expansion of business opportunities in China, Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, and Japan. They aim to offer Asian-focused value around Green IT technologies to customers in Asia.
The companies said Fujitsu’s cooling design concept for PRIMERGY servers coupled with Asianux Server 3 will cater to the demands of those cooling-conscious datacentre customers in Asia to help reduce energy costs.
Akira Kabemoto, president of the IA Server unit at Fujitsu, said, We are happy to be working closely with Asianux to allow more PRIMERGY servers to be available on the Asianux Server OS. Asianux has a strong presence not only in the Asian government and Internet sectors, but in corporate sectors as well. It is a great pleasure for us to be cooperating with Asianux to pursue the provision of Asia’s unique value around Green IT technologies specifically for Asian customers.
Jaykay Kim, COO of Asianux, said: We are delighted to cooperate with Fujitsu on their new environmentally friendly servers. Fujitsu is the leading IT vendor worldwide, and has a strong and successful experience on the server market. Through Fujitsu and Asianux’s close cooperation, I believe we will soon deliver affordable green Linux servers to our clients.
Asianux has been developing operating systems and software products for x86 servers for six years, with Asianux Server 3 being their latest version.
