Fujitsu Deploys Juniper Networks’ AppFormix for Cloud Operations Management and Optimization
May 21 2018 - 10:00PM
Juniper Networks (NYSE:JNPR), an industry leader in automated,
scalable and secure networks, today announced that Fujitsu Limited
has deployed Juniper’s cloud management platform AppFormix in
Japan, as a key part of ensuring the operational efficiency of the
new region of its widely adopted enterprise cloud platform Cloud
Service K5.
Open, agile and legacy-compatible, Fujitsu’s K5 is the world’s
largest open-source based platform and has seen strong adoption
globally by organizations looking to drive digital business
transformation, across the public, private and hybrid cloud.
However, the open-source software used previously for the
management of the K5 platform did not provide Fujitsu with the
automated real-time management and data visualization features it
needed, which resulted in manual processes and increased OPEX.
As Fujitsu prepared for the launch of the new region of K5 which
scales several times the previous version, they required a cloud
operations management solution that could address these operational
requirements, while also bringing significantly increased
capabilities.
To combat these ongoing challenges, Juniper was selected to
carefully develop and deploy AppFormix for Fujitsu’s K5 platform to
address these growing operational needs, offering simplified cloud
operations management and performance optimization capabilities
through big data analysis and machine learning.
In addition to significantly reducing operational burden and
complexity, AppFormix’s unique user-friendly GUI dashboard
displaying real-time reporting and high level compatibility with
OpenStack has also allowed Fujitsu to better plan resource
consumption and capacity expansion, which is crucial in light of
potential continued service expansions of the K5 platform in the
future.
