Overview
Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc.'s (FCPA) FACT Lab performs the important task of interoperability testing to determine compatibility between the Fujitsu Enterprise and Mobile hard disk drives (HDDs), customers' systems and third party partners' products, such as host bus adapters, HDD enclosures and cables.

In addition to interoperability testing, our FACT Lab offers the following to solution providers and interoperability partners:

• Perform problem duplication and resolution of HDD related issues in complete systems
• Develop, test and publish application-based solutions of hardware configurations containing Fujitsu hard disk drives
