the impact of foreign exchange rates,
among other factors.
Network Products: Sales increased 4.7%
year on year to ¥280.8 billion.
Sales of optical transmission systems
decreased for the year as previously
robust performance in North America
suffered in line with a slowdown in capi-
tal investments in the second half of
2011. Another factor was NGN investment
in Japan, which has now come full circle.
Sales of mobile systems and network
solutions rose sharply due to higher sales
of 3G equipment and routers to cope with
higher data traffic stemming from the
increasing popularity of smartphones.
Sales also increased on the back of full-
scale LTE investment.
Operating income for the System
Platforms sub-segment totaled ¥47.2
billion, an increase of ¥1.7 billion from
the previous year. Income from System
Products fell on account of a precipitous
drop in UNIX and other server-related
sales, despite the effect of cost cutting,
particularly for x86 servers. GRAPH 5
Profit from Network Products also
increased, benefiting from higher
revenues stimulated by greater
investments aimed at coping with
increased data traffic stemming
from the widespread popularization of
smartphones, and in LTE.
Initiatives Going Forward
System Products: ICT plays an increasingly
vital role in ensuring social prosperity and
security. This trend is raising the impor-
tance of servers, storage, software and
other infrastructure products that support
society’s development. Along those lines,
Fujitsu will move forward with developing
platforms optimized for supporting cloud
computing, which will enable flexible ICT
utilization. GRAPH 6
In the x86 and storage divisions, we
are raising development efficiency by
integrating Fujitsu Technology Solutions
of Germany into Group operations and
creating a single set of global standards
for our products. We have achieved
strong market positions with high sales
volumes in Japan and Europe and are
endeavoring to further increase our
market share in these regions. At the
same time, we are striving to expand our
global business by developing partner
channels in newly emerging economies,
where server markets continue to grow,
as well as in North America, the largest
server market in the world. In the soft-
ware business, we are launching platform
as a service (PaaS) products and focusing
investment in cloud computing offerings.
In the UNIX server business, we are
bolstering our product capabilities
through our alliance with Oracle, with an
eye to expanding our business.
Network Products: Network products are
playing an increasingly important role in
the cloud era as data and networks
merge. In recent years, we have returned
the business to profitability by reforming
the development process to achieve
significant cost savings and expanded
sales in key markets like Japan and North
America. In the next stage of growth for
the business, we are aiming to improve
profitability by promoting cost reduc-
tions, together with developing new
business fields using networks, such as
home networks and domains specializing
in related services. In the optical trans-
mission system business, we will further
solidify our market position in Japan and
North America with the launch of
advanced products.
In mobile systems, together with the
definitive rollout of an LTE business for
NTT DOCOMO in Japan, we will leverage
our advantages in LTE base stations and
alliances with other companies to offer
total solutions and develop peripheral
services, with an eye to achieving busi-
ness expansion.
