Fujitsu partners Red Hat on cloud, Oracle on Unix servers |
|
|
Fujitsu and Oracle have announced that they are adding muscle to a multi-decade partnership by extending their SPARC development relationship, an expansive, new product distribution agreement and a commitment to further joint engineering, marketing and sales promotion efforts. Reports had earlier said that Fujitsu will update its SPARC64 processor, combining it with Oracle's operating system, to create Unix servers six times faster and with 15 times processing power by around 2014, as compared to those in use presently. Fujitsu and Oracle will advance joint engineering efforts to ensure their products are optimized and tested to best run Oracle software in mission critical environments. A new unified enclosure design will feature the logos of both companies for the Fujitsu and Oracle SPARC Enterprise M-series servers and the two have also laid out a road map of M-series servers that provides 15 times better performance in the next three years. Sales teams from both companies too will align to jointly sell SPARC Enterprise servers, while Fujitsu inked a new Oracle Partner Network distribution agreement allowing it to resell and distribute the latter's products across the entire Oracle portfolio. Open source Linux company Red Hat too expanded its partnership with Fujitsu into the cloud, with its Red Hat Enterprise Linux now available as a guest operating system on Fujitsu's "On-Demand Virtual System Service" public cloud. Red Hat's Enterprise Linux as a platform runs applications in the cloud, has a broad base of developers and an extensive ecosystem of certified applications that makes for flexibility, portability and scalability. |
