"As businesses react to market dynamics, datacenters will support the business through improved IT service levels, as well as improving efficiency and lowering IT operating costs." But he added that the "key challenge for Fujitsu in 2007 is intense competition from other industry players due to the commoditization of the server market and the increasing need for virtualized products and solutions."
