Simply Affordable 99.999% Availability for Virtual Server Environments The NEC Express5800/R320
Virtualization Has Permanently Changed Enterprise Computing • But, mission-critical computing requires guaranteed uptime Deploying software for vertical scalability And software for horizontally-scaled cloud computing Clustering low-cost servers to provide peak-time redundancy Pooling CPU resource clusters for HPC and big data computing tasks • 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 Supports the leading virtualization software environments including Microsoft® Hyper-V™and VMware vSphere® Traditional Fault Tolerance Built-in Fault Tolerance Brings operational simplicity by eliminating clusters and external SAN-attached storage Leverages Intel® Xeon®architecture to achieve continuous availability NEC Express5800/R320
Historically, Hardware-based, Fault Tolerance Cost About 2x Standard Enterprise Servers Costly specialized hardware to detect faults, plus redundant components to limit down-time. NEC is proving to enterprise IT that Clusters of highly-available servers running virtualized operating systems became a popular alternative to hardware-based fault tolerance. 99.999%* Then Now uptime is possible at50% lower TCO** But, complex virtualized clusters could not prevent downtime required for processes to resume across an HA cluster. (compared to a HA cluster with fault-tolerance software) $ *Based on NEC Corporation Testing **According to Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG)
99.999% (Yes, That’s Five 9s!) 99.999% An NEC FT server is always on -- 99.999% availability means you can typically expect less than 6 minutesof total downtime in a full year This fault-tolerance is built-in, and invisible to applications and to IT staff 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
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 With NEC Intel® Xeon®Fault-tolerant systems, Enterprise IT Conserves Cash and Resources • Dramatically simplified deployment (compared to HA clusters) • No application customization required Time • 50% reduction in deployment cost and TCO • No specialized fault-tolerant software licensing expense • Simplicity and zero-touch reliability frees IT from cluster disasters IT Quality of life Capex
