Customer stories–Software AG

To skillfully meet these requirements, the IT managers at Software AG went looking for an expert partner and issued an invitation to bid at the end of 2020. The company
has maintained a successful business relationship with Fujitsu for many years in the areas of mainframe supply and support. Software AG has also long procured powerful
products from Fujitsu in the client computing devices and data center segments. Based on good experience, and especially on a convincing proof of concept, Software AG brought Fujitsu on board for the pending consolidation project as well. Fujitsu’s many years of strategic collaboration with the data backup specialist Commvault also paid off. The two companies worked closely together to develop and implement a global backup solution that precisely addressed the customer’s special requirements and in doing so was able to prevail over other bidders. Their concept consolidated the existing heterogeneous data backup solutions on a central Commvault platform. The scale-out solution based on the Fujitsu Reference Architecture for Commvault HyperScale X software ensures a secure hybrid backup in six on-premise locations. It also acts as a central storage system for disaster recovery. Commvault supplies Metallic Backup-as-a-Service (BaaS) functions for four cloud locations that have no local storage resources. Fujitsu is responsible for project management, hardware and software support, as well as professional services. Software AG generally holds Fujitsu in high regard, not only as a solution provider but also as a service partner.
