FROM THE FRONTIERS OF THE CLOUD COMPUTING BUSINESS
—INTRODUCING EMPLOYEES—
Experienced, savvy human resources drive every
aspect of Fujitsu’s cloud computing business, from
the planning and proposal of cloud systems for
customers to system development and operation.
Along with system engineering and sales staff,
Fujitsu is training technical experts capable of
designing and leading the creation of system
architecture that meets customer requirements, as
well as those able to leverage network and sens-
ing technologies to explore new domains for ICT
utilization. Plans going forward call for boosting
the number of cloud human resources to 5,000
across the Fujitsu Group.
Fujitsu’s cloud-savvy talent explores
the new possibilities of ICT.
Striving to Develop Middleware for Worldwide
Adoption by Honing Usability
I am involved in developing one of Fujitsu’s middleware prod-
ucts, namely the Systemwalker Desktop series of integrated
operation management software. Corporate information systems
have become more complex than ever in recent years with the
introduction of cloud computing and virtualization technologies.
Consequently, the role of middleware for system operation
management is growing substantially. Enhancing middle-
ware functions is of course a vital step in minimizing cus-
tomers’ system operation burden, but an even more
important point for customers may be to improve usabil-
ity after adoption. Going forward, my aim is to focus
more intently on this point to develop middleware that
will satisfy the needs of customers worldwide.

Cloud computing is...
a platform that enables the ICT* resources behind any network, such as servers, storage
and software, to be accessed via the network on an as-needed basis. For users, these
unseen elements of the network are likened to a cloud, hence the term “cloud computing.”
Today, use of cloud computing is growing more widespread, with sophisticated ICT utiliza-
tion emerging in a diverse range of fields.
