(Years ended March 31)
* Including intersegment sales
In the East Asia region, Fujitsu will
increase sales of x86 servers and storage
through tie-ups with local partners, and
expand its cloud services business. We will
also focus on driving further expansion in
the healthcare and distribution-related
solutions businesses, where we have
established a strong market position.
In India, we intend to continue efforts
to increase business from Europe and the
United States by boosting our offshore
resources. Fujitsu Technology Solutions
will lead our strategy and planning of the
ICT infrastructure business in India, which
will improve business in terms of both
scale and management quality. We will
also aggressively expand our sales of
system products such as x86 servers.
In the Oceania region, Fujitsu will make
its cloud services available across the entire
market while maintaining a strong position
in the IT sector. In doing so, we aim to build
a business model to grow Fujitsu Group
businesses outside of Japan, and further
expand our market share and develop
our business laterally across the region.
Additionally, we will work to raise the
efficiency of outsourcing services centered
on offshore operations, with managed
services at the core. By industry type, Fujitsu
currently holds a strong position in the
public sector business, but also plans to
broaden business scope by expanding the
network and broadband businesses, and
by extending its range of infrastructure
services for the finance industry.
CUSTOMER SOLUTION PROFILE
The Australian National University
Fujitsu Supercomputer Helps to Meet National Challenges
Established in 1946 as Australia’s first full-time
research institution, the Australian National
University (ANU) has an exceptional international
reputation for research. Fujitsu’s relationship with
ANU began in 1988 when Fujitsu Australia was
commissioned to install a VP100 supercomputer
as a new scientific computing platform. Immedi-
ately the university received many requests for
time on this leading-edge machine.
In 2012, Fujitsu was commissioned to provide a
High Performance Supercomputer to ANU to form the infrastructure core of the National
Computational Infrastructure (NCI)—Australia’s national high-end research computing service
which is hosted by the University. NCI, which operates as a formal collaboration between
ANU, CSIRO, the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, and Geoscience Australia, together with a
number of research-intensive universities supported by the Australian Research Council,
provides high-end capability computational services to the Australian research community.
As part of this contract, Fujitsu will also establish a collaboration with NCI, through ANU, in a
number of research areas related to strategic objectives common to NCI and Fujitsu—in par-
ticular with the optimisation of the ACCESS climate modelling suite, and in the optimisation
of computational codes in anticipation of next-generation processor architectures.
The Fujitsu Primergy supercomputer being installed at the NCI will be available to
researchers across Australian universities and research agencies. The Fujitsu Primergy
system features 57,500 x86-core, 160 terabytes of main memory, and 12 petabytes of
disk storage. At the time it was commissioned, it was ranked Australia’s most powerful
computer and the 24th most powerful in the world. It will be comparable in scale to about
30,000 desktop computers working together in parallel.
The NCI supercomputer will take Australian research capacity to new levels in areas
such as climate and weather, physics, astronomy, geosciences, chemistry and
advanced materials.
Commenting on the role of the new computer, ANU Vice-Chancellor Professor Ian Young
AO said: “The new supercomputer will provide Australia with a much needed capability to
meet national challenges. It will take Australia’s research to new levels in areas such as
weather and climate modelling, computational chemistry, particle physics, astronomy,
material science, microbiology, nanotechnology and photonics.”
