Tokyo-based FujiFilm needed to improve its competitive edge and restructure its business activities using the latest digital technology.

To make it happen, the company wanted to introduce a virtualization solution for running business applications. The one it chose was based on virtualization software from VMware running on servers with Intel® Xeon® processors 5400 series, based on 45nm process technology. With this virtualization solution, FujiFilm expects to improve utilization of processor resources to around 70 or 80 percent, with significantly reduced power consumption. This will also reduce operating costs and total cost of ownership (TCO). In fact, based on a cost analysis of integrating more than 150 servers, the company expects a payback on its investment in just two years.

"Considered in terms of the TCO rather than the initial cost, we believe that adopting the latest hardware technologies with a virtualization solution will contribute to a better ROI for the FujiFilm Group," explains Hideki Shibata, senior operations manager of FujiFilm's Infrastructure Information Technology Information Systems Division.
