Virtualization Has Permanently Changed Enterprise Computing
Deploying software for
vertical scalability
Pooling CPU resource clusters for HPC and big data computing tasks
And software for horizontally-scaled
cloud computing
Clustering low-cost servers to provide
peak-time redundancy
But, mission-critical computing requires guaranteed uptime
Pooling and clustering can provide on-demand resources for peaks and troughs, but true hardware-based
fault-tolerance is required for
• 99.999% continuous uptime • Scalable vCPU Performance

NEC FT Servers Combine the Best of SW Virtualization Efficiency and HW Availability
NEC Express5800/R320
Leverages Intel® Xeon® architecture to achieve continuous availability
Supports the leading virtualization software environments including Microsoft®
Hyper-V™ and VMware vSphere®
Brings operational simplicity by eliminating clusters and external SAN-attached storage
Built-in Fault Tolerance
Traditional Fault Tolerance

Historically, Hardware-based, Fault Tolerance Cost About 2x Standard Enterprise Servers
Then Now
NEC is proving to enterprise IT that
99.999%*
uptime is possible
$ at 50% lower TCO**
(compared to a HA cluster with fault-tolerance software)
Costly specialized hardware to detect faults, plus redundant components to limit down-time.
Clusters of highly-available servers running virtualized operating systems became a popular alternative to hardware-based fault tolerance.
But, complex virtualized clusters could not prevent downtime required for processes to resume across an HA cluster.

99.999% (Yes, That’s Five 9s!)
99.999% Availability
CPUs use “Lockstep” for immediate failover and server
virtualization protection
Transparent Resynchronization, no-touch, automatic
Fault-tolerance requires no additional software or
configuration hassles
This fault-tolerance is built-in, and invisible to
applications and to IT staff
An NEC FT server is always on -- 99.999% availability means
you can typically expect less than 6 minutes of total downtime in a
full year

Designed for Virtualization
NEC and Intel® Xeon® have optimized the FT Express5800 platform for leading
virtualization environments
Ideal for data center workloads and mission critical departmental applications
Leading solutions for hosting applications that require linear
scalability at reduced cost

Simplified Availability
With NEC Intel® Xeon® Fault-tolerant systems, Enterprise IT can avoid:
Complicated cluster architectures and
continuous maintenance
Costly SAN-based storage
Separate management
consoles for HW, SW and storage
Specialized software required for cluster deployments

Lifecycle Cost Savings
Time
Capex IT Quality of life
• 50% reduction in deployment cost and TCO
• No specialized fault-tolerant software licensing expense
• Dramatically simplified deployment (compared to HA clusters)
• No application customization required
• Simplicity and zero-touch reliability frees IT from cluster disasters
With NEC Intel® Xeon® Fault-tolerant systems, Enterprise IT Conserves Cash and Resources
