Fujitsu plans to install the Oracle Cloud platform in its Japanese data centers
Fujitsu and Oracle Corporation Japan signed a strategic alliance to deliver cloud platform and services to customers in Japan and their subsidiaries around the world.
Under terms of the agreement, Oracle Cloud application and platform services – such as Oracle Database Cloud Service and Oracle Human Capital Management Cloud – will be powered by Fujitsu’s data centers. The agreement also stipulates Fujitsu will work to drive sales of cloud-computing offerings to companies in Japan and their global subsidiaries. Fujitsu currently connects Oracle services to its K5 service in order to deliver an enterprise offering. The first Oracle app to be offered to Fujitsu customers under the joint offering is Oracle HCM Cloud.
“For over three decades, Oracle and Fujitsu have worked together using our combined [research and development], product depth and global reach to create innovative solutions enabling customers to scale their organizations and achieve a competitive advantage,” said Edward Screven, chief corporate architect at Oracle. “Oracle’s new strategic alliance with Fujitsu will allow companies in Japan to take advantage of an integrated cloud offering to support their transition to the cloud.”
“The combination of these innovative solutions … will enable Fujitsu and Oracle to deliver mission critical systems over a cloud environment within Fujitsu’s data centers while maintaining the high levels of performance and reliability that had previously been achieved in on-premise environments,” said Hiroshige Sugihara, president and CEO at Oracle Corporation Japan.
