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

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
