Cloud Infrastructure Management SoftwareV1.2.0 User's Guide

1.1 Features

In order to optimize customers' ICT systems, it is important to use virtualization to integrate ICT resources (such as servers, storage, and networks) so that they can be used efficiently.

There is also a demand for self-service functions that enable virtual platforms to be provided to users as soon as they are required. Cloud Infrastructure Management Software is a software product that manages ICT resources in a private cloud environment by grouping them into pools and automatically deploys ICT resources in response to user requests.

This product also supports efficient usage by visualizing the usage status of ICT resources.

This product has the following features.

Private cloud systems can be created easily

Cloud systems that deploy everything from infrastructure systems (Fujitsu PRIMERGY servers, storage and networks) through to operating systems can be provided quickly.

ICT resources can be utilized efficiently according to how much they are used

Visualizing ICT resources allows users to track their usage status, which makes it possible to utilize ICT resources flexibly.

The private cloud can start small

This product allows users to start off small by purchasing only a single server and then expand to full-scale operations later.

The private cloud can be expanded in the future

By installing the following related software products, Cloud Infrastructure Management Software can be used as internal service infrastructure where everything up to the middleware level has been deployed, or can be used to create private clouds for multi-vendor server environments. For each of these related software products, a new license must be purchased.
