AppFormix features such as real-time intelligent monitoring and the
easy visualization of data, were crucial for the increased
requirements of the new region of Fujitsu's K5 cloud platform
TOKYO, May 22, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)
-- 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.
