OREANDA-NEWS. December 06, 2012. Fujitsu announced the immediate availability in Japan of Fujitsu Integrated System HA Database Ready, a vertically integrated, open-standards database system offering high performance, exceptional reliability, and rapid setup.

The new product is a unified hardware and software database system optimized for the fast, accurate processing of business data, and builds on integration technology the Company has developed through its experience delivering and operating diverse database systems. Additionally, performance levels are up to 20 times greater than Fujitsu's earlier database systems. The use of Fujitsu-developed software technology(1) enables databases to go into operation the day the hardware is installed, and makes operational tasks such as backup and recovery easy to perform.

For customers, the ability to bring a fast, reliable database online quickly and easily, and to have automated backups and one-click recovery, significantly reduces operational burden. Furthermore, an open-standard PostgreSQL database interface enables the new product to work with a wide range of software and packages. PostgreSQL is guaranteed to be compatible between versions, ensuring that customers have uninterrupted use of their data.

Fujitsu has developed Dynamic Integrated Systems, a new vertically integrated platform covering both hardware and software to provide configurations optimized for deployment and operations. The release of Fujitsu Integrated System HA Database Ready marks the platform's first phase, being a vertically integrated product optimized for database systems. Cloud Ready Blocks, a private-cloud integrated software package that Fujitsu has already been offering in Japan, will be added to the Dynamic Integrated Systems line and will continue to be enhanced.

While hardware performance and functionality continues to undergo dramatic improvements, making the most of hardware capabilities requires sophisticated integration technology involving multiple pieces of hardware and software. Even in database systems focused on transaction processing, there is a growing need for high-performance, high-reliability products that can be brought online quickly, that offer 24 Ч 7 operations, and that work with existing software and packages.

With Fujitsu Integrated System HA Database Ready, customers have the benefit of great performance with a very reliable open database system that they can use quickly without any specialized deployment or operations technology.
