Fujitsu and iTernity form new partnership

Fujitsu and iTernity are forming a technology partnership for greater security and efficiency in healthcare data storage. With the combined solution of Fujitsu PRIMERGY servers and iTernity software, clinics of all sizes can store their data in a scalable, cost-efficient, and resilient manner.

"The focus of our joint solutions is on future-proof data storage in Healthcare IT," explains Martin Wagner, Head of Healthcare Germany at Fujitsu. "Hospitals need to store enormous amounts of critical data, comply with strict regulations, secure against ransomware - all with limited budgets and a lack of IT professionals. Together with iTernity, we address these challenges and create simplicity, efficiency and security."

Healthcare data must be stored in a particularly protected way. Backups help protect against data loss and cyber-attacks, while digital archives help ensure regulatory compliance and data integrity. But how can backup and archive data be stored securely and easily - without losing control of costs and effort?

Fujitsu and iTernity aim to resolve this tension in healthcare with joint storage solutions. Fujitsu delivers the industry's most comprehensive x86-based portfolio with its PRIMERGY servers, focusing on scale-out, simplicity and flexibility. iTernity's storage solution iCAS FS, sits on top of Fujitsu PRIMERGY servers and contributes the software intelligence to meet regulatory requirements, protect against data loss and reduce costs, effort, and complexity.

"Our storage solutions have been certified for over 140 software vendors. This gives our joint customers all the flexibility they need to integrate the storage platform into their IT landscape. The potential for IT departments in healthcare and beyond is enormous with a strong partner like Fujitsu. We are happy to be present with our software power on the Fujitsu Ecosystem Platform," adds Marcel Cramer, Sales Director EMEA at iTernity.

The combined solution of Fujitsu PRIMERGY servers and iTernity iCAS FS offers multiple benefits:

• Data loss protection through immutability, managed services and intelligent replication

• Audit-proof archiving and resilient backup storage

• Maximum flexibility and scalability

• Low total cost, effort, and IT complexity
