Fujitsu and Oracle Strengthen Decades-Long Relationship

Companies Extend SPARC Collaboration; Add Global Distribution Agreement Across Oracle Product Portfolio

Fujitsu and Oracle today announced that they are strengthening a multi-decade partnership with the extension of their SPARC development relationship, an expansive, new product distribution agreement and a commitment to further joint engineering, marketing and sales promotion efforts.

New Facts

Oracle and Fujitsu will advance joint engineering efforts to help ensure Oracle and Fujitsu products are optimised and tested to best run Oracle software in mission critical environments.

The companies previously announced (December 2, 2010), a new unified enclosure design featuring logos of both companies for the Oracle and Fujitsu SPARC Enterprise M-series servers. Oracle and Fujitsu have also made available a roadmap of M-series servers that provides 15 times better performance in the next three years. These new developments will further ensure these milestones are met.

Moving forward, sales teams from both Oracle and Fujitsu are now aligned to jointly sell SPARC Enterprise servers. This will help to ensure ongoing continuity while continuing to improve customer satisfaction.

Additionally Fujitsu signed a new Oracle PartnerNetwork distribution agreement giving Fujitsu the ability to resell and distribute Oracle products across the full Oracle portfolio. This permits Fujitsu to act as a systems integrator and solution provider for the overall Oracle stack.
