Global Development of Data Centers Supporting Outsourcing
Fujitsu has a global network of some 80 data centers. These critical facilities play an
indispensable role in the provision of outsourcing services. Fujitsu can also respond
to customers’ varied language requirements with help desks available in 29 differ-
ent languages.
In Japan, Fujitsu complemented its three main data centers—Fujitsu Tatebayashi
System Center, Fujitsu Akashi System Center and Fujitsu Tokyo System Center—with
the opening of the Fujitsu Tokyo No. 2 System Center in December 2007. Already
used by many customers, the new center has double the permissible power usage
of the older Fujitsu Tokyo System Center, and is equipped with more advanced secu-
rity measures, such as cutting-edge palm vein ID and RFID technology.
At the start of 2008, Fujitsu began globally expanding its base for meeting cus-
tomer needs, particularly in Asia, with the opening of data centers in Thailand and
South Korea. In Japan, plans going forward will see a capacity upgrade for the
Fujitsu Tatebayashi System Center (October 2009), as well as preparations for the
opening of a new data center in Yokohama, as we take steps to further enhance
competitiveness in this area.
Reducing Customers’ Environmental Impact via
“Green Infrastructure Solutions”
Fujitsu leverages its technical expertise in achieving greater energy efficiency by offering its customers
“Green Infrastructure Solutions”, which include diagnostic, design, construction and operation support
services for improving the environmental performance of customers’ data center facilities.
Fujitsu Architects & Engineers, a group of in-house specialists with expertise in both IT and construc-
tion, helps customers optimize their entire IT infrastructure by evaluating and selecting the most effec-
tive and efficient air conditioning and power supply systems, and the most advanced server room
equipment, all consistent with customers’ IT assets and system operation policies. In fact, the Fujitsu
Tokyo No. 2 System Center, opened in December 2007, embodies many of these advanced technolo-
gies, including a building layout design based on heat flow simulation models. Apart from the tech-
nologies adopted for this center, Fujitsu utilizes know-how gained from energy-saving techniques applied at its 50 data centers across Japan
to optimize the server rooms and data centers of its customers.
By offering Green Infrastructure Solutions, Fujitsu strives to assist customers in reducing power consumption related to IT infrastructure,
thereby minimizing their environmental footprint. Reductions like these, in turn, help to reduce society’s overall impact on the environment.
