Fujitsu featured in IT Jungle: Microsoft Azure: An AS/400 for Private and Public Clouds
I may be a whippersnapper compared to many of you dyed-in-the-wool System/38, System/36, and AS/400 old-timers, but I have been around long enough to see the irony of things with a certain amount of good humor and healthy detachment. And so I got a good chuckle last week when I saw that Microsoft was taking its Azure public cloud computing platform private, and perhaps to many more masses than it would have gotten through a public-only cloud.

Fujitsu featured in eWeek: IT Infrastructure: Fujitsu Massively Expands Data Center Co-location Capacity
Fujitsu America’s Sunnyvale, Calif., headquarters is an expansive piece of property that once housed large-scale manufacturing operations. Over the years that manufacturing capacity has been relocated. So the company has transformed much of that space into data center-ready square footage—32,071 square feet, to be exact. Fujitsu isn’t new to the data center business. For years, the company has hosted custom application deployments for customers who requested such service. Now it has invested tens of millions of dollars and is opening more of its secure data center floor space to companies seeking professional Web, cloud computing and application co-location services.

Fujitsu featured in Small Business Computing: Buyers’ Guide: How to Buy a Small Business Server
According to research firm Gartner, approximately one million servers in North America should have been replaced in the past year or two but weren’t due to economic concerns. The likelihood, therefore, is that many small business servers need to be changed out for newer, more powerful models.
Obviously, if your existing small business servers are chugging along and doing everything you ask of them, leave them alone.

Fujitsu featured in IT Jungle: Server and Storage Array Sales Rebound in Q1, Says Gartner
After a dismal late 2008 and early 2009, the server and storage arrays markets are starting to perk up a bit in the first quarter, according to the box counters at Gartner. It may take years to climb out of the hole in hardware spending that the Great Recession created, but at least the global economy seems to be getting up off the ground and moving forward.
 Gartner’s server gurus estimate that in the first quarter of 2010, worldwide server revenues rose by 6 percent, to $10.75 billion, and server shipments were up an astounding 23 percent, to 2.12 million units.

Fujitsu featured in Ed Tech Magazine: Systems Survival Guide
When Scott Sidoti became Geneva Area City Schools’ technology director in November 2008, his top priorities were to increase both the resilience and redundancy of the Ohio district’s IT systems. But when the air-conditioning failed in the high school computer room on a weekend in December 2009, the district faced full-scale disaster.
The district’s main network server overheated and died, bringing down systems for the high school, junior high, administration and food service, as well as causing collateral damage to elementary school servers. At the time, the only good news seemed to be that the meltdown occurred a day or two before winter break, buying a little time for Sidoti as he tried to figure out how to restore vital systems and data.

Fujitsu featured in ComputerWorld: 3 convertible tablets that mean business
Big and bold, the Fujitsu LifeBook T900 is built around a screen that’s more than twice as big as the iPad’s and is clearly designed for people who have to use both graphics and type.
The LifeBook T900 has a plastic case and a magnesium lid, which is more stable than the Portege M780’s case, particularly around the screen bezel. The T900 is the largest of the three units reviewed here, at 1.5 by 9.5 by 12.5 in. It weighs 5.1 lbs. and hits the road with its AC adapter at 5.8 lbs., making it the heaviest of all the three models, too.
