This month’s “Bridging the Gap” focuses primarily on the Fujitsu PRIMEQUEST server line. We discuss a couple of case studies in which PRIMEQUEST solutions have been used to significantly reduce costs while increasing efficiency. We also present details about the thirty-three PRIMEQUEST 580 servers that are being used to create an extraordinarily powerful new supercomputer, and the use of a suite of Fujitsu server and storage products to implement an integrated information system at a major hospital. 

This issue also provides a couple of pieces about the use of legacy modernization software from Fujitsu to move from the mainframe into the Microsoft .NET environment. By moving to a .NET environment, customers are able to increase their flexibility and agility while saving on costs. 

We discuss our recently announced collaboration with Microsoft in the Microsoft Partner Solutions Center (MSPC). On the mobile side, details are provided about the exciting introduction by Fujitsu Computer Systems Corporation of the first pen-enabled notebooks with solid state drives (SSDs). 

We’re sure that no matter what your area s of interest, you will find an article you’ll enjoy in this month’s newsletter.
