Fujitsu Support Focus Group

Inaugural Meeting Report 

This Focus Group was launched on 10th September 2002 to provide a forum for assessing impact of the recent announcements from Fujitsu Services concerning withdrawal of support for FDS range of disk systems and the ESS Solid State disk system at the end of December 2002 and withdrawal of support for all models of the Series 39 DX range and for OpenVME for these products at the end of June 2003. The Group discussed options and will work with Fujitsu Services to help customers develop strategies for minimising risk to operational services.

Steve Clarke, Fujistu Services VME Business Marketing Manager, identified an initial set of options:

• migrate to alternative environment
• merge operations with an organisation having a similar business and operational environment which is also geographically convenient
• full or partial outsource of operation
• share peripherals with other systems
• replace with modern technologies
• risk running without hardware or software support.
