Fujitsu has released new version of its integrated software framework for virtualised distributed computing, which expands the user capabilities with enhanced security, enhanced framework management, and a shared repository for collaboration and performance improvement.
SynfiniWay is a middleware used in creating virtualised IT frameworks for private and trusted clouds. It provides an integrated set of capabilities: workflow technology to orchestrate services from its internal directory, a meta-scheduler for optimal resource utilisation, and data movement of large-volume files.
Fujitsu said SynfiniWay V4.0 features a new access management subsystem based on roles, which enables fine grained authorisation on workflows, applications, services and data.
The offering also enables to monitor servers, networks, workflows and tasks throughout the SynfiniWay framework.
It incorporates a shared repository for workflows, applications, and profiles that enables quicker access, more manageable development and sharing of these objects between teams of users located in different geographical locations.
In addition, the version 4 has been added with automated encryption and compression of files during transfer, and automated conversion of text files from Unix to Windows format have been added.
Fujitsu Systems Europe CEO David Papiah said that with SynfiniWay V4, organisations lower the boundaries between their own departments as well as with their suppliers and partners by creating and linking secure and manageable IT infrastructures together.
"By lowering these boundaries an organisation is able to achieve higher levels of integration and collaboration, thereby speeding up projects and reducing costs," Papiah said.
