High Availability & Disaster Recovery Solutions

Protect your business critical systems with ExpressCluster

NEC's award-winning ExpressCluster is a family of integrated high availability and disaster recovery software providing fast recovery and continuous protection of business critical applications and data.

ExpressCluster enables easy to deploy and cost effective continuity solutions for industry standard database, email, and virtualization applications and platforms.

The ExpressCluster product family is the only true integrated application and data continuity solution available today.

"Admist the increasing need for business continuity, the need for high-availability systems and disaster recovery measures has increased. Clustering is an effective solution for both of these needs."
IDC Excerpt: Japan High Availability Clustering Softeare 2007-2011 Forecast

ExpressCluster Enables:

Disaster Recovery

Powerful disaster recovery capabilities for business critical transactional applications and data. It ensures near-instant recovery after system failure for full data protection, even over standard T1 WAN spanning hundreds of miles.

Innovation:

Virtualization
ExpressCluster is the first software to demonstrate clustering on Microsoft Hyper-V Platform. It also supports other standard virtualization platforms like VMWare Server/ESX and Xen.

Hybrid Clustering
ExpressCluster is the first clustering software to implement Hybrid Clustering, i.e. mirroring of data in a shared disk for both LAN and WAN Enviornments.

Green IT
ExpressCluster utilizes multiple techniques to reduce power consumption, such as decreasing CPU clock (up to 20% savings) , Distant Servers and Server Consolidation.
