Computing as a service

Fujitsu is launching a "Fujitsu Computing as a Service (CaaS)" service portfolio to provide customers with access to some of the world's most advanced computing technologies via the cloud for commercial use.

The new service includes computing resources such as Fujitsu's quantum-inspired Digital Annealer technology - the computing technology at the heart of the world's fastest supercomputer, Fugaku - and software applications that enable a wide range of users to solve problems with AI and machine learning. Fujitsu will offer these new services in the Japanese market from October 2022. A global launch in international regions such as Europe, the Asia-Pacific region and North and South America will follow.

As a first step, Fujitsu has started with pre-orders for the Fujitsu Cloud Service HPC. This offers the computing power of the Fujitsu PRIMEHPC FX1000 supercomputer, which uses the same CPU as the heart of the Fugaku supercomputer. Since April 6, 2022, Fujitsu has begun selling the service to the general public and businesses in Japan, with deliveries scheduled to begin in October. In the following months, Fujitsu will add more services for its Digital Annealer technology and AI cloud services to its service offering to provide more value-added services that seamlessly integrate various solutions.

"In the future, we want to further expand the portfolio with technologies such as quantum computing," says Vivek Mahajan, Chief Technology Officer (Corporate Executive Officer, SEVP) at Fujitsu.
