A better ROI thanks to NEC virtualization solutions

Virtualization allows one system to do the work of several, through the sharing of its resources across several different environments. The servers and virtual desktops can host different operating systems and applications, locally or on remote sites, thus freeing you from physical and geographical constraints.

Through creating a virtualized infrastructure, you will not only reduce your energy costs but also ownership costs, thanks to a better use of hardware resources, and you will also benefit from high availability of your resources, better administration of your clients, more security and finally Disaster Recovery procedures after a threat.

The 5 key benefits of virtualization

Server consolidation and optimization of the infrastructure by creating resource “pools”, virtualization significantly improves use and frees the company from the heritage model “1 application, 1 server”

Reduction of physical infrastructure costs thanks to virtualization, you can reduce the number of servers and associated hardware in the datacenter. You will reduce the cost of surface occupation, electricity consumption and air conditioning.

Better application availability and business continuity Planned downtime is no longer necessary and restoration in the event of unplanned downtime is rapid, with the possibility to back up and migrate in entire safety to virtual environments without service interruption.

Better administration and security of Clients deploy, administrate and supervise secure Client environments, which your users can access locally or remotely, with or without network connections, from any desktop, notebook or thin client.

NEC is a forerunner in the hardware and software virtualization domain.

It’s no surprise that its range of products and solutions is probably the most complete. Designed to simplify and streamline the global administration of an infrastructure, regardless of size, acquisition and operating costs are reduced.

For all technical and budgetary constraints, NEC proposes a precisely adapted virtualization and consolidation solution. Servers, clients, administration solutions…NEC is an established choice with decision makers and IT actors.

Virtualize your workstations, servers and storage…

To address the multiple aspects of this problem, NEC proposes a virtualization solution which comprises of a wide range of added value servers and advanced virtualization software.

Discover virtualization through NEC’s eyes, in collaboration with other market-leaders: Intel, VMWare, Microsoft, Parallels and Red Hat, can all help your company to achieve its key objectives:

For a continuously available virtualized infrastructure!

When virtualization is at the heart of infrastructure projects, the risk linked with service interruption of a virtualized system becomes a major issue of virtualization.

With the NEC Express5800/350Ft fault tolerant server, the virtualized infrastructure is totally secure and NEC is committed to providing an unmatched level of availability.

NEC reinforces its position in the virtualized infrastructure domain and supports VMWare Virtual Infrastructure 3.x and PARALLELS Virtuozzo 4.x solutions.

NEC SIGMABLADE, ideal to optimize the virtualized infrastructure

More specifically designed for consolidation needs, the NEC SigmaBlade solution comprises of blade servers and an administration software console- SigmaSystemCenter- which simplifies the dynamic administration of the Information System like never before.

From installation to the maintenance of application hardware, it takes advantage of the performance of associated physical servers.

Designed with high density chassis blades, offering unlimited scalability, removing complex cabling problems and optimizing induced and direct electricity consumption as well as floor occupation. Whatever the size of the company, there is an adapted NEC SigmaBlade solution which is immediately profitable.

NEC FlexPower, an “All-in-One” virtualization solution

The NEC FlexPower solution, developed in conjunction with Intel Corporation, is the first modular server designed for small and medium businesses (SMEs) and which combine all server functions, network and administration storage for IT system simplicity and flexibility on a reduced budget.

Combined with the VMWare, Virtual Infrastructure 3.x virtualization solution, it represents a truly ready to work virtualization solution.

In combination with NeoCoreTech's NDV it also provides in an affordable VDI solution with innovative technology. The combination within the FlexNDV concept provides a complete business solution for educational, governmental institutions etc.

…But priority to business goals!

To be useful, virtualization is more than the installation of a hypervisor. It is necessary to deploy the tools which allow disassociation between “hard” and “soft”, whatever they may be. Infrastructures are becoming increasing complex, so it becomes more difficult to ensure in an industrial manner, a real quality of service.

Thanks to SigmaSystemCenter, management and centralized surveillance of PCs and servers, both physical and virtual, automate and facilitate provisioning. Because resource distribution is dynamic, intelligent and transparent, the use of hardware equipment is optimized without additional costs. They can also be aligned with the strategic priorities of the company.

NEC is more than just a manufacturer; it is a supplier of global offers, based on virtualization.
