A better approach to fault tolerance in an enterprise class server.
Achieving full fault tolerance for large, enterprise class servers has proven to be an expensive
and frustrating operation. Software clustering has been the best solution to date, but it is
extremely costly to set up and maintain, and still results in hours of downtime each year. But
now, with NEC's new four-way High Availability Fault Tolerant server, you can put multiple data
center applications on a single, powerful server—a server with two redundant sets of 4 Intel
Xeon
®
MP 2.8 GHz CPUs—for full fault tolerance and maximum reliability.
THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF AVAILABILITY
NEC Solutions America introduces an innovative approach to
fault tolerance for large, enterprise class applications: the
Express5800/340Hb-R Four-Way Fault Tolerant server. With
four logical CPUs, this enterprise class server has the
horsepower required to consolidate multiple applications
onto one server.
Designed with complete hardware redundancy, every
component in this four-way High Availability Fault Tolerant
server has an identical part, so there is no single point of
failure. If a component does fail, it provides instantaneous
failover to the redundant component, ensuring that there is
never a loss of system state or data. Furthermore, the
server's unique design employs hot-swappable modules,
where if any component within the module fails, it can be
replaced while the application continues to run at 100% on
the redundant module.
The result is 99.999% uptime, the highest levels of availability
in the industry. Most non-fault tolerant servers suffer an
average of 44 hours of downtime each year, this four-way
Fault Tolerant server averages less than 5 minutes of
unplanned downtime a year.
Every IT department would like to reduce the number of
servers in their architecture, and with the powerful
performance of the NEC Express5800/340Hb-R, you can
safely consolidate your applications onto one server.
POWERFUL ENOUGH FOR DATA CENTER APPLICATIONS
This four-way server has enough performance to run large,
data center applications in a fully fault tolerant environment.
Applications such as enterprise messaging, resource
planning, customer relationship management, supply chain
management and other mission critical applications can now
safely be consolidated to a single server.
A MUST FOR MISSION CRITICAL APPLICATIONS
Server downtime can wreak havoc on an organization,
especially those running mission critical applications.
Because the NEC Four-Way Fault Tolerant server has the
capability to run mission critical applications with full fault
tolerance, it is the ideal solution for many organizations.
Financial. In banks, credit card sales authorization
companies, or brokerage operations, downtime can cost
millions of dollars per hour.
