Storage in the new Fujitsu Technology Services By Chris Mellor, 30th March 2009 -- Tomorrow Fujitsu Siemens Computers will become Fujitsu Technology Services, as Fujitsu completes its buyout of Siemens' 50 per cent share of FSC. FTS becomes Fujitsu's global storage competence centre. FTS is responsible for selling and supporting Fujitsu IT products and services in Europe, the Middle East and India, and Africa; it's Fujitsu EMEA in other words. It has around 10,000 employees, with 1,000 in research and development. One reason to have FTS as a separate entity is to let Fujitsu think global and act locally, in the words of Fujitsu president Kuniaki Nozoe. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/03/30/fts_storage_role/

Fujitsu is aiming to almost double sales of servers in the next two years as it absorbs Fujitsu Siemens Computers and reorganizes many aspects of its servers business into a single, global organization.

NEC retreats while Fujitsu plots expansion
- Japanese vendors harbour contrasting ambitions for global PC and server market -
CRN by Doug Woodburn - 30 Mar 2009 -- NEC has revealed it is winding down all PC market activity outside its native Japan - just as compatriot Fujitsu unveiled bullish plans to grow its global server business. After recently announcing it will cease PC production in EMEA, NEC has confirmed plans to exit the Asia-Pac PC market this summer, Reuters reported. The retreat is part of its NEC’s strategy to dump under-performing business units and cut more than 20,000 jobs as it faces up to anticipated losses of 290m yen for its current fiscal year. But just as NEC retrenches, fellow Japanese vendor Fujitsu is plotting an assault on the global server market in a bid to double its market share.

Google launches free, legal music downloads in China
Mar 30, 2009 - BEIJING (Reuters) -- Google Inc on Monday launched free downloads of licensed songs in China, while sharing advertising revenue with major music labels in a market rife with online piracy. Lee Kai-Fu, president of Google in greater China, said one reason Google lagged in the mainland search market was because it did not offer music downloads, the missing piece to its strategy in a market where it trails leader Baidu.com Inc. "We are offering free, high quality and legal downloads," Lee told reporters. "We were missing one piece ... we didn't have music."
