[May 10, 2013] Fujitsu launches three new software packages in Japan Tweet May 10, 2013 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- Fujitsu, an information and communication technology company, has announced the launch of sales in Japan of three new and five upgraded software packages, all designed to transform work styles by leveraging data from smart devices, such as smartphones and tablets. The software is also scheduled to be released outside Japan. According to the company, in addition to a development and execution platform for building information systems that take advantage of smart devices, the new software packages include security management, tools for collecting data in the field, an open-interface database, and rapid analysis and forecasting using big data. All of the software packages being introduced are equipped with the ability to assess their software and hardware environments. They also feature proprietary Smart Software Technology from Fujitsu. The packages can be used with the Fujitsu FGCP/S5 public cloud service, NIFTY Cloud, or Amazon Web Services. FUJITSU Software Interstage Mobile Application Server v1 is an open application server designed for information systems that link smart devices with servers. It can control GPS receivers and cameras from different devices with the same application. It uses an application programming interface (API) as a common framework so that application developers can use the open, standard languages of JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS3 to develop new applications for platforms, including Android, iOS, and Windows 8. Equipped with security measures, including encryption of business data on the smart device, features such as data deletion when certain predefined conditions (related to location information, for instance) are met, and applications for linking with back-office information systems (for analysis and batch processing), information gathered in the field can be quickly put to use in business, the company said. FUJITSU Software Systemwalker Desktop Patrol and FUJITSU Software Systemwalker Desktop Keeper v15 provide unified security management over complete equipment lifecycles, for personal computers as well as smart devices. This unified approach to management improves security by enabling security settings for both computers and smart devices, controls over devices used, and monitoring of usage logs. Remote locking reduces the risk of data leaks in the event that a device is lost or stolen. Business applications can be provisioned to and revoked from smart devices. FUJITSU Software Interstage AR Processing Server v1 is an augmented-reality platform that provides functions for developing, executing, and managing overlay displays. These displays show immediately useful information on a smart device's screen, layered on top of reality, when a user simply points the device's camera at an augmented-reality marker. Authoring technology (patent application approval pending) lets the developer match information with real-world objects using a device's built-in camera and touchscreen. FUJITSU Software Interstage Business Analytics Modeling Server v1 is analytic and forecasting software that can generate processes, including the collection and manipulation of data needed for analysis. It can analyze heterogeneous sets of big data while making it possible to define a single coherent workflow that covers everything from the collection and manipulation of data to analysis, forecasting, and output. Additionally, forming and testing hypotheses for analysis or forecasting is 20 times faster than before (according to Fujitsu research). Businesses can use this to replace guesses and ingrained habits with objective data so that they can respond to changes with greater precision and take targeted action in the field, the company added. FUJITSU Software Interstage Information Integrator v11 is collection and integration software that has been updated for high-speed data transfer to remote locations, speeding up web application downloads, image displays, and file transfers. Fujitsu's proprietary error-correction technology, which works even on low-quality connections, and UDP communications result in faster TCP/IP software (patent application approval pending), the company reported. FUJITSU Software Symfoware Server v12 is database software that uses the open PostgreSQL interface standard. Using PostgreSQL means that it can work with a range of other products, including those related to design development, data integration, operations management, and business intelligence. Compatibility with other databases has been improved, and one-eighth the number of steps are required for application transition. It uses FUJITSU Integrated System HA Database Ready, the vertically integrated database system that includes automatic backup and recovery functions to reduce operations and maintenance workloads, the company concluded. http://www.datamonitor.com Republication or redistribution, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited without prior written consent.
