Fujitsu urges enterprises in Saudi Arabia to adopt dynamic approach to IT

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, March 24, 2011 - With CIO's facing increased pressure to lower costs, increase service levels and reduce carbon footprint, Fujitsu is urging organizations to adapt a more dynamic approach to its IT deployments. Along with its technology partner Symantec, Fujitsu will kick off its regional roadshow in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on March 27th at the Park Hyatt, with Dynamic Infrastructure as the pivotal focus. The roadshow will also take place in Riyadh on 28th March at Al Faisaliah hotel, and Al Khobar on March 30th at the Movenpick hotel.

Designed to meet the growing interest in virtual networks and related technologies in the GCC region, especially in the Kingdom, industry experts at the conference will discuss key topics that will apprise IT directors and administrators on the latest trends and best practices in the industry. Experts from Fujitsu and Symantec will share insights on workplace, datacenter, virtualization & backup solutions; including technology breakthroughs such as Zero Clients (smart displays) that will help businesses grow while lowering costs.

"The relationship between business processes and IT environments has been at the center of every CIO's attention for more than three decades. Even today, building entirely 'business-driven' hard-and-software architectures for organizations is still a challenge, and networks with matching characteristics are the exception rather than the norm," said Yaman Abo Saleh, Sales and Operations Director- KSA, Fujitsu Technology Solutions. "Businesses need to be able to rapidly adapt to changing needs, and with Dynamic Infrastructures, Fujitsu is providing flexible IT capacity that adapts to new situations as they begin to unfold. We have combined state-of-the-art technologies such as virtualization and real-time allocation of resources with advanced management options for automation and orchestration, to create a framework for IT operations that focus on increased efficiency, high agility and enhanced reliability."

The roadshow will cover topics like 'Virtual Workplace Technologies' by Fadi Hamdan, Pre-sales Manager- KSA for Fujitsu Technology Solutions; 'Datacenter Technologies' by Chandan Mehta, Head - Enterprise Product Management and John Stadden, Director - Storage Solutions at Fujitsu Technology Solutions; 'Service Capabilities in KSA' by Aiham Al Akhras, Services Director- ME at Fujitsu Technology Solutions.
