Fujitsu has launched new Data Utilization Platform Services, which use cloud services as a platform leveraging big data.

Data Utilization Platform Services are a core part of the Convergence Services. Convergence Services are the key to bring about a "human centric intelligent society" in which ICT resources are used to create a society that is more secure and more prosperous for everyone.

Data Utilization Platform Service is a cloud service for gathering, compiling and integrating massive quantities of sensing data, processing it using realtime processing or batch processing and using it for such purposes as making future projections. The services are designed to help companies seeking to leverage big data to get new business initiatives off the ground quickly and add value to products and services.

In addition, Data Utilization Platform Service integrates all required technologies, integrates different types of large data sets and can be offered as a cloud service with a la carte options.

Furthermore, the Data Utilization Platform Services covers four specific services offerings: Data Management & Integration Services, Communications Control Services, Data Collection and Detection Services, and Data Analysis Services.

With Data Management & Integration Services, a huge volume of diverse data in different formats constantly being collected from sensors can be efficiently accumulated and managed through the use of technology that automatically categorises the data for archive storage.

Communications Control Services comprises three functions for exchanging data with various types of equipment (such as home appliances) over networks: communications control, equipment control, and GW management.

In Data Collection and Detection Services, by applying rules to the data streaming in from sensors, an analysis of the current status can be performed and based on that analysis, decisions can be made with navigation or other required procedures performed in real time.

With Data Analysis Services, a huge volume of accumulated data is quickly analysed using a parallel distributed processing engine to create value through the analysis of past data or through future projections or simulations.
