FUJITSU Cloud Service K5 in detail

• The only cloud computing platform that enables digital transformation through deploying OpenStack technology across all cloud deployment modes, guaranteeing infrastructure and application compatibility, as well as offering native cloud application development and API management tools. In fact, FUJITSU Cloud Service K5 also received the prestigious OpenStack Interoperability Challenge Award at the OpenStack Summit in Barcelona.
• Guaranteed data residency within the physical boundaries of the U.S. This means U.S. organizations using Cloud Service K5 can meet any legislative, legal or compliance requirements that restrict certain data to be held within U.S. geographic boundaries. Organizations in the U.S. may also choose any of the other K5 availability zones worldwide.
• Cloud Service K5 is available to organizations in Canada, through leverage of the U.S. availability zone. Additionally, organizations in Canada can choose other K5 availability zones, worldwide.
• Seamless interaction with existing IT infrastructures, enabling customers to easily deploy hybrid IT and cloud environments. This includes cloud services and enterprise data centers suitable for many applications, such as web shops, database services, customer relationship management (CRM) systems and payroll solutions. This feature helps to extend the service life of legacy equipment and increase return on investment.
• A full range of delivery model extensions will become available to enable customers to choose the best approach for their organization. For all K5 deployment models - Public Cloud, Virtual Private Hosted, Dedicated (Private) and On-premise - Fujitsu provides enterprise-class support, robust Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and high-availability.

"To survive in a highly competitive and rapidly evolving market, organizations must be able to make smart decisions and respond very quickly," said Shobhit Porwal, Head of Hybrid IT at Fujitsu America, Inc. "This is why companies increasingly look to cloud solutions, because it offers greater freedom to focus on the core business strategy and to redirect investments by lowering the total cost of ownership. As or more importantly, Fujitsu offers added value to organizations with legacy environments, because they benefit from secure and seamless integration between cloud and existing infrastructures, enabling the deployment of new technology in no time – be it mobile applications, online retailing solutions or internal systems. With FUJITSU Cloud Service K5, customers can exploit the full competitive advantages offered by the MetaArc portfolio, while unlocking the capabilities offered by their legacy systems."
