Enterprise Systems to the Cloud
a Fujitsu datacenter for the first time in Japan; sales commence for Fujitsu
Cloud Service K5 DB powered by Oracle Cloud
Limited and Oracle Corporation Japan today announced that Oracle Cloud Platform
services, including Oracle Database Cloud Service, are now available from
Oracle’s public-cloud services environment-Oracle Cloud-now hosted in a Fujitsu
datacenter, a first for Japan.
A variety of Oracle Cloud Platform services were
made available from March 27, 2017 followed by the April 20 release of Fujitsu
Cloud Service K5 DB powered by Oracle Cloud (K5 DB (Oracle)), which adds Oracle
Database Cloud Service to the lineup of database options from Fujitsu Cloud
Service K5.
Oracle and Fujitsu have a long history of
collaboration when it comes to processors, servers, and software. This synergy
now extends to the datacenter, where Oracle’s cloud services will be available
locally to Japanese customers backed by Fujitsu.
Fujitsu has the largest number of
Oracle-certified Oracle Cloud engineers in Japan, and offers a coordinated
portfolio of services to assist in the deployment and operations of Oracle Public
Cloud, to help organizations build new modern cloud-based solutions and
transition their enterprise systems, including mission-critical operations, to
the cloud.
Fujitsu and Oracle formed a strategic alliance
announced on July 6, 2016, and based on a strategic collaboration to deliver
enterprise-grade, world-class cloud services to customers in Japan and their
subsidiaries around the world, have commenced sales of public cloud services
from Japan. Together with making Oracle Public Cloud services available from
Fujitsu’s robust and reliable datacenter in Japan, can now be used as part of
Fujitsu Cloud Service K5, Fujitsu’s public-cloud service.
“The Oracle Cloud Platform running in
Fujitsu’s Japan datacenter alongside Fujitsu Cloud Service K5 DB powered by
Oracle Cloud is a natural continuation of the three decade history Oracle and
Fujitsu have working together to help customers achieve competitive
advantage” said Edward Screven, Chief Corporate Architect, Oracle.
“By combining Fujitsu’s system integration expertise with Oracle’s cloud
services, Fujitsu and Oracle will accelerate the transition of our joint
customers’ enterprise systems to cloud.”
The Oracle Cloud Platform offered by Fujitsu and
Oracle
Oracle Cloud is the industry’s broadest and most
integrated public cloud, offering a complete range of public cloud services
across SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS. Oracle Cloud Platform, which includes Oracle’s
analytics, application development, data management, and integration services,
has experienced steady growth, adding thousands of customers in fiscal 2017.
Global enterprises, SMBs, and ISVs are turning to Oracle Cloud Platform to
build and run modern Web mobile, and cloud-native applications.
By delivering Oracle Public Cloud services,
including Oracle Database Cloud Service with high-available, high-scalable
features, such as Oracle Real Application Clusters(1), from Fujitsu’s robust,
reliable datacenter, mission-critical systems can be used in a cloud
environment with peace of mind and superlative performance. Because Fujitsu
provides access to Oracle products and services such as Oracle Database, via a
public cloud environment, which is used in the enterprise systems of many of
its customers, Fujitsu is able to meet its customers’ diverse needs for
enterprise-grade cloud services, including support for private clouds.
About Fujitsu Cloud Service K5 DB powered by
Oracle Cloud
Based on the Oracle Database Cloud Service, this
service incorporates Fujitsu’s systems-integration know-how and is delivered as
the kind of distinctive database service that customers expect from Fujitsu.
For example, this automates the settings used when creating a database, such as
the security settings, encryption, and operational monitoring needed when
deploying and building a database. Customers need not learn any new
cloud-specific technologies, and can immediately start using Oracle Database
Cloud Service. They can also use the service in peace of mind thanks to
Fujitsu’s high-quality one-stop support.
This service connects the Fujitsu K5 cloud
service, which supports systems of record (SoR)(2) and systems of engagement
(SoE)(3), to Oracle Cloud Services, extending K5’s database offerings with K5
DB (Oracle). This enables companies to move their existing ICT assets into the
cloud and enhance their support for SoR.
Engineers on hand to assist with customer
cloud-transition needs
As part of this service offering, Fujitsu maintains
a network of engineers and services to facilitate Oracle Cloud deployment and
operation. Fujitsu has the largest number of people with “ORACLE MASTER
Cloud Oracle Database Cloud Service” certification in Japan (winner of
Oracle Certification Award 2016), with more than 100 engineers already on
staff. Structuring the “Cloud Solution for Oracle” as a service to
aid in Oracle Cloud deployment and operation has, with certified engineers(4),
realized rapid, secure and steady transition to Oracle Cloud, responsively
meeting customer cloud transition needs.
A Diamond member in the Oracle
PartnerNetwork(5), Fujitsu and Oracle have a relationship that spans more than
three decades. This joint project works to increase Fujitsu’s systems
integration capabilities and further strengthens Oracle technology expertise.
By increasing the number of Oracle Cloud engineers in the Fujitsu Group and
formalizing their place in the organization, Fujitsu and Oracle look forward to
being able to work together more closely.
Details of this announcement are being presented
at the Oracle Cloud Platform Summit Tokyo 2017 (April 25, 2017, at The Westin
Tokyo) and at Fujitsu Forum 2017 (May 18-19, 2017, at Tokyo International
Forum).
