“This kind of constant availability can be valuable to almost any type of business, most notably those providing portal or Web services. Collaboration and messaging applications are also best-served by fault-tolerant systems, especially when you consider that many companies grind to a halt in the absence of e-mail.”
The overall Best of Show winner at TECH ED 2003 was NEC Solutions’ Express 5800/320Lb-R Server. “This product redefines the fault-tolerant product category,” said Chernicoff. 6/5/03
The overall Best of Show winner at CeBIT America was the NEC Solutions’ Express 5800/320Lb Server. “Technology that was $250,000 just one year ago is now $26,000. The Express 5800/320 LB offers data and application integrity, remote serviceability, and is completely modular, including the CPU, storage, PCI boards and power supplies. Each can be removed or replaced like a toner cartridge without bringing down the server. “ 6/19/03

“It’s perfect for environments where even a few hours of downtime are not an option.”
