M2 PRESSWIRE-8 February 1999-FUJITSU: Fujitsu announces new Global Managed Network Solutions
in the United States (C)1994-99 M2 COMMUNICATIONS LTD
-- Fujitsu Ltd. will deliver FENICS service using FSBA's FANS service as their North American Service
Provider
Santa Clara, CA -- Fujitsu Systems Business of America, Inc. (FSBA), announced today that its FANS
(Fujitsu's Advanced Networking Solutions) service will be the North American extension of Fujitu Ltd.'s
highly successful FENICS (Fujitsu's Enhanced Information and Communication Service) Global Managed
Network Solutions. Through this partnership, the FANS network will reach 37 countries worldwide,
providing frame relay service, ATM, remote LAN access service, and the highest service level agreements
in the industry to nearly 30,000 business customers worldwide.
The FANS network will be connected to Japan by a 155 Mbps Trans-Pacific ATM link. This will account
for approximately 10% of the Trans-Pacific telecommunications traffic. With this new partnership, FANS
and FENICS customers will have a transparent connection between the two countries without having to
change service providers to connect with their overseas counterparts.
The combination of the FANS and FENICS services will provide companies with a single point of
accountability for an extensive array of networking services, including enterprise network design,
implementation and ongoing monitoring support. Through its comprehensive list of agreements with
industry leading suppliers, including MCI WorldCom, AT&T, Qwest Communications, Microsoft, Citrix,
Nokia IPRG, Sun Microsystems, HP, Cisco Systems, Check Point Software Technologies, FORE
Systems, 3Com and others, Fujitsu can provide world class networking solutions to customers of all
sizes.
Takashi Matsutani, president of FSBA, states, "This synergy between the FANS and FENICS services
reinforces our commitment to provide our customers with networking solutions that protect them from the
risks they face when deploying a complex systems infrastructure. We respect our customers' investment
in our services, so we strive to provide them with best-of-breed products and services that will scale with
their growth."
Both FANS and FENICS have already established successful relationships with customers worldwide.
The connection between the two services is expected to bring added benefits to current and future
customers and is scheduled to be available in April of 1999.
