Storage solutions provider, Network Appliance, has signed a partnership agreement with IT services provider Fujitsu Australia to provide storage, recovery and backup capabilities for Fujitsu’s FlexFrame Solution for SAP.

FlexFrame was developed as a new infrastructure architecture for mySAP environments.

“NetApp is an integral part of the FlexFrame solution,” said Alistair Latham, executive GM, Platforms and Systems Group, Fujitsu Australia. “The FlexFrame infrastructure is built on NetApp’s network attached storage solutions which were chosen for their ability to provide better price performance over traditional storage area network solutions and to offer the latest in data storage and security technology.”

“We’re delighted to be working with Fujitsu and making headway into the SAP market,” said Mark Heers, marketing & alliances director for NetApp ANZ. “Customers are crying out for a complete solution with unmatched simplicity as the requirements have become more complex over time.  Our research showed this solution is what customers are looking for and this has been proven by the success we have had to date, with more than 80 customers worldwide already using the product.”
