Balancing efficiency in normal times with resilience in the event of an emergency is becoming increasingly difficult. We live in a complex and unpredictable world where traditional forecasting techniques have become insufficient. We need to be able to digitally rehearse future scenarios and quickly execute Plan B or C by sensing data in real time.
The current edition of Fujitsu’s Technology and Service Vision explains how digital technology can expand our ability to predict what might happen through digital rehearsal methods based on federated systems, digital twins and the convergence of the physical and digital worlds.

Digital resilience is about balancing investments in infrastructure with those in business innovation. Investments in IT and hybrid cloud address both areas and deliver digital innovation as a result. In addition, cloud infrastructure plays a significant role in supporting digital resilience. Infrastructure resilience in particular is delivered through a hybrid cloud strategy and developer services such as containers and open APIs.
IDC’s info brief points to the differences between digital leaders, the mainstream and the followers when it comes to laying the foundation for a resilient enterprise.

For years, organizations have been investing in new technologies, developing their culture, and transforming their processes in the race to get ahead of the competition. The pandemic was a disruption hardly anyone could foresee. For many businesses, Covid-19 meant the end of their journey. Others just about managed to keep going.
But some powered ahead.
What made them different? How did they turn this crisis into an opportunity? And how can their success be replicated? New research from Fujitsu shows that it was their hybrid cloud strategies that set these businesses apart.

In a hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI), key IT elements such as servers and storage are implemented as software on a shared platform. This allows HCI to offer significant gains over traditional IT in terms of efficiency, consolidation and utilization of resources – the main drivers behind the increasing adoption of HCI technology.
But what is the relevance of HCI for hybrid infrastructures?
As this survey by Freeform Dynamics and Fujitsu shows, both the conceptual similarities between the two as well as the potential for significant cost savings make HCI an ideal foundational technology for hybrid cloud.

Hyper-converged infrastructures (HCI) are transforming the economics of IT and creating the next-generation foundation of the hybrid cloud. However, the do-it-yourself approach to HCI is fraught with challenges.
Fujitsu Integrated System PRIMEFLEX for Microsoft Storage Spaces Direct is a pre-configured integrated system, providing IT organizations with an easy way to deploy HCI environments based on in Windows Server 2022. Find out how it can
