Fujitsu Ltd and Hewlett-Packard Co are to work together to market Fujitsu’s Unix-based Exekit strategic information and management system: known in Japan as Manasus, and originally available on Fujitsu mainframes, the software was implemented for the DS-90 and S (for Sun) families of Unix machines last year, and according to Fujitsu has been well received; this is the first time that Fujitsu has planned to offer its own software to another line of Unix machines, but Hewlett-Packard’s SoftBench middleware was converted for Fujitsu’s machines last year; shipment began in December; Exekit will be available from around $6,000 for a single- server- single-client implementation, and Fujitsu is hoping to sell 500 systems in three years.
