OREANDA-NEWS. October 2, 2012. Fujitsu today announced that Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University (APU(1)) has recently deployed Cloud Ready Blocks, Fujitsu's integrated private-cloud package, to add an on-campus private cloud to its existing administrative information system for managing course registration, processing grades, and performing other administrative tasks.

With this upgrade, APU has the flexibility to allocate servers in response to peak demand, thereby increasing system performance and dramatically slashing the time needed to set up a server for temporary use down from one week to one day.

In addition, APU has deployed RapidWeb+, Fujitsu's web-system development solution that makes it possible to quickly set up applications needed for administrative tasks such as classroom management and facility reservations. APU looks forward to increasing workplace efficiency with the new environment.
