OREANDA-NEWS. Fujitsu announced the immediate worldwide availability of FUJITSU Software Systemwalker Centric Manager V15, a software product that centralizes management of all ICT system resources and monitoring information throughout the system's operational lifecycle.

Previous versions of this software could handle on-premises environments and private-cloud environments. This new version adds the ability to handle hybrid, multiple public-cloud environments, creating one-stop operations management, from software deployment and systems monitoring to troubleshooting. This software product is based on technology that offers self-diagnoses of hardware and software conditions, which it can then optimize for easier, more reliable operations. It offers filtering and portal screen customization that lets administrators review only the messages designated to be of high importance out of a stream of numerous monitoring messages, and to conduct operations in a way most suitable to a customer's operational style.

The product ties in with FUJITSU Software Interstage AR Processing Server, an integrated augmented-reality platform, so that connected devices can be used for checking the operational status of equipment and for displaying step-by-step tasks in response to monitoring messages. This enhances operational efficiency in the field where equipment is located.

It can also be used with FUJITSU Integrated System Cloud Ready Blocks, a vertically integrated platform for virtualization and private clouds, to provide centralized management across an entire cloud.

In recent years, a growing number of customers have been pursuing server consolidation through virtualization and the use of private clouds with the aim of utilizing their ICT resources in a more effective manner. This has created a need for operations management that centralizes the oversight of ICT resources and that monitors multi-cloud environments, where multiple public clouds are combined to provide a mix of features.
