SAP and Fujitsu Siemens Computers to collaborate on manufacturing mid-market

Users will get SAP All-in-One ERP preinstalled on the Fujitsu Siemens Computers hardware, which, says Rolf Strotmann, vice president, Software and Solution Business, Fujitsu Siemens Computers, will help them to centralise and consolidate their IT. Manufacturers will receive Primergy servers with SAP Business All-in-One and SAP MaxDB database running on the SUSE Enterprise Linux operating system from Novell. The software will run on Primergy RX300 S4 racks as test and production servers, while Primergy RX100 S5 models will also be available as infrastructure servers and back-up with the FibreCAT TX08 tape device. “Although the benefits from an integrated system are clear to any midsize company, many have been reluctant to move from proprietary solutions managing single functions, because of the perceived complexity and timescale of migration,” says Strotmann. “Our joint modular approach is focused on problem-solving by removing the obstacles and allowing businesses to quickly and easily integrate and reap the rewards from an integrated system focused on the functionality they need,” he adds.
