NEC Express5800 Fault Tolerant Servers
Full Redundancy with 99.999% System Uptime
Full Redundancy with 99.999% System Uptime
Today’s high performance enterprises depend on reliable access to tools, information and people to persistently operate smartly and compete effectively. This requires a robust communications and IT infrastructure capable of providing always-on availability that can also self heal should potential service disruptions occur.
Not taking high availability (HA) seriously has its risks. When infrastructure fails the consequences can be costly, including:
Whether looking to support a specific mission-critical business function or in need of a highly resilient ecosystem, NEC’s HA solutions set provides the functionality and reliability required.
From feature-rich communications solutions that make employee and customer engagement effortless and immediate to software and hardware offerings that recover quickly should disaster strike, our integrated and highly available solutions are simple to deploy, easy to maintain and provide the robust and comprehensive functionality to protect critical applications, information and relationships.
NEC High Availability solutions set includes:
UNIVERGE® SV9500 & UNIVERGE 3C Dynamic work environment Single point configuration Highly reliable
Express5800/FT Series Virtual appliance Easy deployment 99.999% system uptime*
NEC EXPRESSCLUSTER Software & hardware monitoring Local and remote 200+ apps support**
NEC Fault Tolerant Server & NEC EXPRESSCLUSTER Dependable solution Multi-data center Disaster recovery
* An average of less than 6 minutes downtime per year. This is a theoretical value calculated by NEC
** Verification experience with 200+ applications as of April 2016
Take a closer look on how NEC Express 5800/R320 FT servers with CPU lockstep technology for failover and server virtualization protection can reduce downtime to less than 6 minutes a year with 50% lower TCO than a high availability cluster with VMware fault-tolerance software.
NEC’s fault tolerant servers are designed with innovative technology that enables continuous availability for a solution with up to 99.999% system uptime while providing data integrity and exceptional performance.
The heart of the dual-modular redundancy architecture for the FT server is its GeminiEngine™ chipset, a feature specially engineered to synchronize redundant components and prevent CPU performance degradation due to hardware redundancy control. The GeminiEngine feature enables "lockstep" processing, allowing the redundant components to process the same instructions simultaneously, and thereby eliminating potential failure points for continuous processing.
The Rapid Disk Resync (RDR) is a disk synchronization technology that enables the disks to be resynchronized in a short period of time when their mirror has been broken due to a system failure or system maintenance. The RDR resumes disk mirroring by performing quick copies of only data changes, rather than entire disk data, thereby minimizing the time that the system runs with non-redundant disk system.
* The RDR is available on the Windows models only.
Our HA solutions set is ideally suited to market sectors where mission-critical performance is of vital importance.
For example, sectors such as:
Enterprises and their customers are already experiencing positive outcomes from working with NEC and by using our HA solutions.
Take for instance how we HA-enabled the following customers:
“Even though NEC’s fault tolerant server and virtualization solution make administration easier and lowers costs, security and continuity of service remain our top priorities at Intersnack France. It was these two criteria that prevailed in choosing NEC and its high availability solution.”
