SynfiniWay is Fujitsu’s middleware for distributed IT virtualisation, providing a framework for accessing dispersed and heterogeneous computational resources and data stores, and optimising the efficiency of globally distributed technical workflows. SynfiniWay removes the IT complexity associated with the growth in organisational and process scale that is fundamental to the aerospace industry, with engineers across multiple sites, organisations and countries working towards a common single product.

In this environment MSC Software’s SimManager provides the solution to manage simulation content and methods, allowing more effective and productive collaboration. We will present a solution that combines the strengths of these two products to enhance the collaborative and resource access capabilities on a global scale, extending the remote data access and workflow functionalities of SimManager to start processes anywhere within the global IT framework and allow data movement directly between any points on the network, within and between collaborating organisations.
