Fujitsu Digital Business Platform MetaArc embraces the reality of two-speed IT landscapes by providing comprehensive foundations for cloud and digital businesses of the future
With the unveiling of its Digital Business Platform MetaArc, Fujitsu outlines its vision for enabling customers to digitalize their business with confidence. MetaArc provides the enabling platform to allow customers to take advantage of key digital capabilities such as Big Data, enterprise mobility and the Internet of Things (IoT) on a global basis.
Fujitsu MetaArc encompasses the technologies, tools, services and partnerships needed to establish a strategic cloud foundation with a choice of cloud deployment methods – public, private and hybrid. It supports the delivery of cloud-based ‘Fast IT’, usually driven by business units and generally used for initiatives that explore and exploit innovative digital solutions. MetaArc also supports the modernization of what Fujitsu calls ‘Robust IT’ systems and enables customers to monetize the value locked in existing data and systems.
Fujitsu highlights that sustained competitive advantage will come by creating a position of balance between both Fast IT and Robust IT systems. This approach exposes and exploits existing data and processes, integrating and orchestrating Fujitsu’s own and third party cloud services, and managing these alongside on-premise IT.
Joel O’Halloran, Senior Vice President, Head of Managed Infrastructure Services and Digital Business Platform, Global Delivery at Fujitsu, says: “Fujitsu reduces the complexity and risks of managing the emerging Hybrid IT environment by providing cloud solutions, expertise and services for both Fast IT and Robust IT systems that integrate and orchestrate both Fujitsu and third-party cloud services.”
