NEC Fault Tolerant (FT) servers provide an innovative solution to address planned and unplanned downtime for your most important applications. The Express5800/300 series servers deliver continuous uptime through its fully redundant modular hardware featuring Quad-Core and 6-Core Intel® Xeon® processors. These servers provide continuous availability through hardware redundancy in all components: CPU, memory, motherboards, I/O, hard disk drives, and cooling fans.
See how Genesis Hosting Solutions is leveraging NEC FT servers for continuous uptime in virtualized environments.

Lower Total Cost of Ownership
The FT Server can deliver a lower total cost of ownership compared to traditional high availability and traditional server solutions in the following areas:
|
While physically two servers, the FT server presents only one logical server, requiring only a single operating system / hypervisor instance (Software Licensing Considerations) |
|
Since the FT Server is a single system, it can be installed seamlessly and without complex configuration and infrastructure |
|
Maintenance is also considerably less for the FT Server approach when compared to complex configurations and infrastructure |
|
The cost of application down time - which is amplified through virtualization |
Operational Simplicity
Through redundancy at the hardware level, the NEC FT Server reduces failures to notifications and indicator light status. This approach significantly reduces the complexity associated with other forms of high availability in clustering and HA/FT Virtualization software solutions. It also simplifies system management and recovery operations, since administration and configurations are performed as a single system view.
It's simple to setup, simple to use, and simple to maintain.
