Fujitsu Asia Unveils Primergy-based SAP Discovery System for SOA Evaluation in ASEAN

Leading regional IT and communications solutions provider Fujitsu Asia today announced the SAP Discovery System, an out-of-the-box software-based evaluation tool for enterprise service-oriented architecture (ESOA).

Designed to encourage SOA adoption, the SAP Discovery System enables customers and partners to evaluate the benefits of aligning the SOA with business processes for reducing total cost of ownership.

Powered by the Fujitsu Primergy TX300 S3 dual-core Linux and Windows server, the SAP Discovery System comprises the SAP ERP 2005 and the SAP NetWeaver 2004x, both pre-installed software applications.

The Primergy TX300 S3 automatically returns the SAP Discovery System to its factory settings after testing, thus ensuring a risk-free and cost-effective environment for SOA evaluation and training. As a result, end-users are able to evaluate different business processes – designed using standards-based enterprise web services – using original data each time.

“The unique features of the Primergy TX300 S3 provide an ideal platform for businesses to learn more about enterprise SOA using the SAP Discovery System,” said Mr Tom Kobayashi, Director of Solutions Marketing, Fujitsu Asia. “In addition, the SAP Discovery System represents a simple way for application specialists, IT managers, and enterprise infrastructure managers to evaluate SAP applications within the familiar structure of their own organisations.”

The SAP Discovery System allows end-users to experience the simplicity and flexibility of composing new business processes using enterprise services in a standalone SOA environment, thus accelerating their learning curves. Examples of such end-users include:

system architects
business process experts
IT development teams
consultants
systems integrators
independent software vendors
Fujitsu also offers end-users – especially those new to the SAP NetWeaver platform – various forms of assistance, including:

introductory workshops
SOA scenario recommendations
installation and/or scenario development support
The SAP Discover System is priced starting at US$7199 and is available for the ASEAN (including Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines and Vietnam) markets with immediate effect. Visit sg.fujitsu.com or call 6512-7555 for more information.
