Organisations are under constant pressure to innovate, adapt and secure their data assets. The convergence of digital transformation, robust cybersecurity and the evolution of hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) is reshaping how businesses manage and protect their information.
Solutions such as Fujitsu ETERNUS DX hybrid storage, PRIMEFLEX HCI and NetApp’s hybrid cloud portfolio can help drive this transformation, enabling enterprises to expand while managing an increasingly complex and data-driven landscape.
Digital transformation: Storage as a catalyst
Digital transformation is a strategic imperative for businesses aiming to remain competitive. At the heart of this transformation lies the ability to harness data efficiently and securely.
Fujitsu ETERNUS DX hybrid storage is designed to consolidate both structured and unstructured data within a single system, balancing speed, capacity and cost. Consolidation is crucial for organisations that use real-time analytics, virtualisation and large-scale databases, as it enables seamless scalability and automation.
The integration of NetApp’s hybrid cloud solutions further increases capability. By combining on-premises infrastructure with cloud resources, you can achieve a unified data management experience, regardless of where your data resides. This flexibility is essential for modern workloads, including AI, machine learning and business-critical applications, which demand high performance and agility. Moving data seamlessly between environments optimises operational efficiency and accelerates business outcomes, allowing you to reach digital transformation goals faster.
Cybersecurity: Protecting data in a hybrid world
As digital transformation accelerates, so do the risks associated with data breaches and cyberattacks. The rise of hybrid IT environments has introduced new vulnerabilities, making robust data protection critical. Fujitsu ETERNUS DX offers advanced security features, including automated quality-of-service management, failover capabilities and built-in system security to prevent unauthorised access to valuable business data.
ETERNUS LT and Scalar tape libraries play a vital role in safeguarding data against ransomware and other cyber threats. By providing an air gap between live and protected data, tape storage ensures that even if a network is compromised, critical information remains secure. This approach is particularly effective for long-term archiving and disaster recovery, offering a cost-efficient and reliable solution for organisations looking to mitigate risk.
Simplifying backup and recovery processes and automating threat detection is indispensable for maintaining trust and operational integrity.
Hyper-Converged Infrastructure: Simplifying IT complexity
The adoption of hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) is another key trend driving digital transformation. Fujitsu PRIMEFLEX integrates servers, storage and networking into a single, pre-tested solution, streamlining deployment and reducing operational complexity. PRIMEFLEX enables organisations to easily scale their infrastructure by adding more building blocks, ensuring capacity and performance scale in line with business needs.
Hyper-converged infrastructure solutions are particularly well-suited for virtualisation, where agility and flexibility are paramount. By consolidating IT resources, businesses can achieve greater efficiency, reduce costs and accelerate time-to-market for new applications and services. The ability to deploy and manage infrastructure quickly and reliably is a significant advantage as the speed of business continues to accelerate.
Data protection and innovation, empowered by HCI
The intersection of digital transformation, cybersecurity and hyper-converged infrastructure is redefining the future of data management. Solutions like ETERNUS DX, NetApp hybrid cloud and PRIMEFLEX HCI empower organisations to navigate the complexities of the digital age, ensuring that data is not only accessible but also secure and resilient. As your business embraces these technologies, you will be better equipped to drive innovation, protect assets and achieve sustainable growth in an uncertain market.
