Global IT services giant Fujitsu (TYO) will invest approximately $2 billion in its cloud business.

The company has announced it plans to invest in its infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS), platform-as-a-service (PaaS), software-as-a-service (SaaS) and cloud integration services to support business innovation and agility for its customers.

Fujitsu said it wants to increase its U.S. cloud sales to $3.5 billion, and the new investments will help it achieve its goal.

“We see cloud as the natural platform for delivering these new types of applications, which is reflected in both the increase we are seeing in cloud adoption and how it is becoming a standard part of IT service delivery models for many chief information officers (CIOs) today,” Cameron McNaught, Fujitsu’s executive vice president of solutions and global delivery, said in a prepared statement. “We also recognize that no single cloud services provider (CSP) can meet all customer needs, so we are continuing to invest in our cloud integration services.”

As of 2 p.m. ET, Fujitsu did not respond to Talkin’ Cloud‘s requests for further comment about the investments.

Fujitsu currently offers several cloud services to customers worldwide, including:

  • Backup-as-a-service

  • Managed hosting

  • IT management-as-a-service

  • Private cloud infrastructure

The company also unveiled the Fujitsu Cloud Integration Platform last November.

This platform will enable Fujitsu customers to leverage cloud services and integrate and manage them via existing cloud and on-premise systems, the company said.

Fujitsu noted an early adopter program for its Cloud Integration Platform is already underway, and the company is planning a global launch.
