Cloud service platform Cosminexus

Recently, cloud computing has attracted attention as a means of rapid, low-cost construction of flexible systems that can quickly respond to changes in the business environment. Cosminexus has evolved to become a foundation for constructing services in the cloud.

By visualizing the IT systems in the cloud computing environment from a business viewpoint, Cosminexus allows services to be provided and improved quickly, contributing to business development.

Create, activate, evaluate: Support of the life cycle of business services

To maintain and increase competitiveness, it is important to be flexible in introducing and modifying business services to respond to changes in the business environment. Considering this need, optimization of IT resources through visualization or adoption of a cloud computing environment has a high potential.

To optimize IT resources, business services must be created after considering the system and service properties. However, there are many more considerations. In particular, grasping the status of hardware resource across the entire system has become more and more confusing due to recent trends in server integration.

Cosminexus v9 provides a visualization capability tailored for the cloud computing environment. The life cycle of business services is defined as three phases: create, activate, and evaluate. Cosminexus v9 provides a collection of reliable, high-performance products that support this life cycle to help optimize IT investments.

Create

By focusing on processes, operations, and information, users can attain rapid development and can create business services that adapt and flexibly respond to any change, including operational changes.

Cosminexus provides a collection of products for the following categories: processes, operations, and information.

Processes

Products in this category are related to work process linkage that improves the efficiency of the workflow of individual persons, and to business process linkage that improves the efficiency of the workflow between persons or between organizations.

Operations

Products in this category are related to online processing, batch processing, and document and form processing.

Information

Products in this category are related to common master linkage that satisfies the need for synchronizing common masters that are viewed by different types of tasks, and to data management that implements fast processing of large amounts of data.

Activate

Using templates that correspond to service properties saves time and effort when deploying and executing services.

Cosminexus provides many templates appropriate for service properties of middleware, OSs, and networks. These templates enable the visualization of both system configuration and service level for each business, and the simple design of infrastructure with ensured performance and reliability. This provides for the rapid deployment and execution of services.

Evaluate

Cosminexus provides services that visualize service statistics from a business viewpoint.

By understanding how a service contributes to the business, you can determine whether to continue or cancel the service, thus optimizing your IT investment. In addition, by viewing the operation statistics, you can easily identify bottlenecks in the running service.
