Product Overview

WebOTX leading-edge technology provides for high performance and supports the dynamic business model of the organizations

Cloud computing, which is receiving particular attention as a new IT trend, is revolutionizing businesses and society. In addition, high reliability that ensures stable operations, the flexibility to quickly handle changes, and practical use of leading-edge technologies are required for enterprise systems due to the quickly changing business environment, emergence of new collaborative services, and growing e-businesses.

WebOTX is designed to handle the arrival of the cloud computing age, SaaS, and virtualization. Based on leading-edge technologies and an abundance of proven results, WebOTX helps set up systems that are always available, are adaptable to change, and utilize leading-edge technologies to achieve a new kind of business and new way of living.

What is WebOTX? Prompt development of leading-edge services

New technologies, information, information devices, and information networks, including multimedia services, NGNs, RFID systems, sensors, smart cards, cameras, and mobile devices, are appearing every day. To avoid missing out on business opportunities, these new items must be quickly incorporated into corporate systems. However, trying to build new components from scratch by using these technologies can slowdown the business.

Up until now, information systems have been optimized according to their purpose or organization, but overall optimization is becoming necessary to handle the speed of changes in the business environment. It is likely that, for overall enterprise system optimization, systems will increasingly progressed by using service-oriented architectures (SOA) that combine services and construct systems. In addition, being able to promptly incorporate the above sorts of new items into systems will become increasingly important. WebOTX develops middleware for promptly incorporating NGN service configuration infrastructures, RFID, sensors, and smart cards, into enterprise systems. WebOTX greatly assists companies in revolutionizing their business.

What is WebOTX? Flexible SOA-based system, which is adaptable to changes

The environments surrounding businesses and society, such as changes in market needs, compliance with laws, and changes in business processes, are always changing at a faster rate, and it is necessary to efficiently and quickly update the information systems to incorporate these changes.

Furthermore, the emergence of cloud computing produced a new way to use some information systems, which were conventionally owned by individual corporations as services provided through the network from the outside. The environment surrounding information systems is rapidly becoming diverse and complex in other ways as well, therefore flexibility is essential to combine and utilize various systems inside and outside an enterprise, based on the service-oriented architecture (SOA). WebOTX provides front-end and back-end infrastructures to flexibly integrate various systems in enterprises and society, and makes enterprise and social activities efficient through the timely adaption to environment changes, and effective usage of the systems.

What is WebOTX? Secure system based on highly reliable system infrastructure

Information, which is increasing in amount and becoming more diverse, and the information systems required to handle such information are now related not only to the enterprise activities but also social activities, and it is not an exaggeration to state that it is of high importance for enterprise businesses and people's lives.

Information systems are directly or indirectly used by a wide range by people within the enterprise or outside the enterprise. In other words, disruption of the information system is equivalent to disruption of the enterprise and social activities with a serious effect on society. Furthermore, in today's cloud environment, multiple information systems exist in the same data center or on the same server making the system configuration more complex. The effects that information systems have on enterprises and society are becoming larger and larger, and the reliability on such systems is becoming increasingly important. WebOTX provides highly reliable and secure system infrastructures for cloud environments in response to the diversification of technologies used in services, such as online jobs and batch jobs, as well as the Internet and NGNs.

Batch Server

WebOTX Batch Server Overviews

WebOTX Batch Server (WebOTX BS) is the Java batch application platform which executes Java batch application efficiently.
This platform is based on the open source software "Spring Batch" framework. WebOTX Batch server offers various functions such as job execution control, operation monitoring function,and so on.

• Spring Batch is a batch framework that is based on Spring Framework.
  Spring Batch is developed by the collaborative team of SpringSource and Accenture.

High performance batch processing utilizing resident Java VMs

By utilizing resident Java VM for job execution, it is possible to reduce Java VM starting overhead. The multiple batch applications can be executed at the same time by means of multithreading. This reduces the amount of memory usage.

High productivity of the batch application development

"Spring Batch" framework has general batch control logic such as commit processing function, checkpoint restart processing function and I/O (File, Database etc.) classes for various resources. Therefore, by developing only the business logic, batch application developer can develop the complete batch applications.
By unifying the Java language development of batch and online processing, it is possible to share the application program in batch processing and online processing.

High stability of the batch processing system

When a Java VM process shuts down abnormally, another Java VM process continues to execute the batch processing.
WebOTX Batch Server outputs OS log when it detects the delay of the batch processing or the indication of memory shortage. Therefore the operator can handle the issues early on.

Portal

WebOTX Portal is a business portal platform product to integrate user interface of business systems. WebOTX Portal combines multiple web system views, and realizes optimization of integration for users business operation.

User interface integration

Business portal greatly improves business speed for individuals with single view from mashup of lots of web systems and information. With business portal, several business systems such as operation window of end-user, business information regarding sales data, workflow approval list etc. can be used from single view seamlessly.

Personalized views for individuals

Integrated web window is optimized according to usersf organization / job title / role. For instance, it is easily enabled to create specific page for sales division, and put the manager-only areas for approval purpose on this page. By partially adding authority for GUI setting to specified person, individual / division based customization is realized while information system division still keeps their management.

Front platform with high scalability

As well, WebOTX Portal provides user interface with high flexibility and scalability. Window deployment and its contents can be changed with GUI, and rapidly supports business change. WebOTX Portal is compliant to latest portal standard specification, and flexibly supports new web system view integration.
