FUJITSU DEPLOYS JUNIPER NETWORKS' APPFORMIX FOR CLOUD OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT AND OPTIMIZATION24/5/2018 AppFormix features such as real-time intelligent monitoring and the easy visualization of data, were crucial for the increased requirements of the new region of Fujitsu’s K5 cloud platform
TOKYO, May 22 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Juniper Networks (NYSE:JNPR), an industry leader in automated, scalable and secure networks, today announced that Fujitsu Limited has deployed Juniper’s cloud management platform AppFormix in Japan, as a key part of ensuring the operational efficiency of the new region of its widely adopted enterprise cloud platform Cloud Service K5. Open, agile and legacy-compatible, Fujitsu’s K5 is the world’s largest open-source based platform and has seen strong adoption globally by organizations looking to drive digital business transformation, across the public, private and hybrid cloud. However, the open-source software used previously for the management of the K5 platform did not provide Fujitsu with the automated real-time management and data visualization features it needed, which resulted in manual processes and increased OPEX. As Fujitsu prepared for the launch of the new region of K5 which scales several times the previous version, they required a cloud operations management solution that could address these operational requirements, while also bringing significantly increased capabilities. To combat these ongoing challenges, Juniper was selected to carefully develop and deploy AppFormix for Fujitsu’s K5 platform to address these growing operational needs, offering simplified cloud operations management and performance optimization capabilities through big data analysis and machine learning. In addition to significantly reducing operational burden and complexity, AppFormix’s unique user-friendly GUI dashboard displaying real-time reporting and high level compatibility with OpenStack has also allowed Fujitsu to better plan resource consumption and capacity expansion, which is crucial in light of potential continued service expansions of the K5 platform in the future. mrem.bernama.com/viewsm.php?idm=31944 KUALA LUMPUR, May 21 (Bernama) -- The International Trademark Association (INTA) will host its 142nd annual meeting in Singapore from April 25 to 29, 2020 the first time INTA is hosting the event in Southeast Asia.

"Xinhua-China banana producing area price index" compiled jointly by the People's Government of Chengmai County of Hainan Province and China Economic Information Service (CEIS) of Xinhua News Agency was officially released in south China's Hainan Province on May 15. The index aims to monitor the operation status and development trend of banana producing areas in China and create a barometer for the industry. It is reported that the base date for the index is set on July 3, 2017, with the base point standing at 100 points. As of May 11, 2018, the index was reported at 87.05 points, up 0.63 points or 0.73 percent from the previous release date and down 12.95 points or 12.95 percent from the base period. The "Xinhua-China banana producing area price index" selects the transaction prices of the five major banana producing areas (Hainan, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guangdong and Fujian) as samples, and collects price data every two days. The weights of the index are adjusted according to market production, consumption and seasonal features. The index is a classic example of deep integration of big data and the real economy. It takes full advantage of Chengmai County's location and industrial expertise in banana production. It is of positive significance to assisting the government's decision-making, guiding the industry development, fostering scientific cultivation of banana farmers, and building the Hainan free trade zone (port), said deputy County director of Chengmai County Wang Baohan. The index can objectively and accurately reflect the operation conditions of the banana producing areas in China, provide open and transparent price information for the industry, and avoid the price confusion in the banana market, according to Su Huizhi, vice president of CEIS. CEIS is a wholly-owned company of Xinhua News Agency, and boasts five national-level platforms including Xinhua Finance, Xinhua Silk Road, Xinhua Credit, Shanghai Petroleum and Natural Gas Exchange (SHPGX) and Xinhua Think Tank. As China's first professional institution studying, releasing, promoting and operating composite indices, Xinhua Indices have been committed to building four product systems: Xinhua Price Index, Xinhua Theme Index, Xinhua Evaluation Index and Xinhua Finance Index, and launched a series of influential products.
