OREANDA-NEWS. Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd. announced, in an industry first, it has developed distributed service platform technology that automates system architecture and operations in line with changes in service conditions, and conducts distributing deployment of cloud-based processing and data to servers within a wide-area network.

With recent advances in "machine to machine" (M2M) technology, in which machines communicate among themselves without human intervention, and with the widespread use of mobile devices, there has been a surge in the amount of data exchanged between cloud services and devices. As a result, to deliver services in real time given limited network bandwidth, it is necessary to distribute processing to intermediate servers situated either near where the data are generated or over a wide-area network.

To facilitate this, Fujitsu Laboratories has now developed a distributed service platform for which, in accordance with varying service requirements, such as changes in the number of devices that can be connected, the optimal location to deploy is determined, with deployment conducted automatically. This cuts the construction time required for redeployment of a distributed system from several days to several minutes. And because it can also accommodate the operations of systems comprised of several hundreds of thousands of devices and servers, which are impossible to accommodate manually, cloud services that start on a small scale can be automatically scaled up. Such scaling up can be done as the need to spend time on such tasks as revising applications becomes redundant.
