NEC Corporation of America, a premier provider of IT, network and
identity management solutions, today announced that the advanced
architecture of the NEC Express5800/1320Xf server will be utilized
for the world�s first demonstration of an autonomic �hot replace�
function of the dynamic hardware partitioning capabilities of
Windows Server 2008 (Longhorn). The demonstration is an example of
how businesses can now affordably experience mainframe-class
reliability, availability and serviceability. �The increased
reliability and availability that dynamic partitioning hot replace
provides is crucial to mission critical applications such as those
we deliver to our customers,� said Bill Michael, vice president of
Information Technology, Online Resources Corporation. �With more
than nine million of consumers accessing our systems day and night
to process financial transactions, we must have our Intel
Itanium-based servers from NEC available and performing around the
clock.� The increasing demand for businesses, regardless of size,
to have data centers and applications that are accessible and able
to deliver services around the clock means there is a greater need
for servers with mainframe levels of availability. �The joint
efforts of NEC and Microsoft to deliver high-end capabilities such
as dynamic partitioning to the world of Windows servers means that
businesses can have mainframe-class reliability, availability and
serviceability without the high cost,� said Barb Goldworm,
president and chief analyst, Focus Consulting. �Leveraging these
leading-edge technologies brings a cost-effective solution to an
age-old problem.� To help IT professionals improve the
availability, reliability and performance of their infrastructure,
Windows Server 2008 includes simplified failover clustering,
dynamic partitioning and auto-tuning networking features to
automatically manage system resources and help ensure that
customers have uninterrupted and optimized access to their company
network. The dynamic hardware partitioning functionality available
in Windows Server 2008, currently available as a public beta,
provides the ability to actively add memory, processor and I/O
devices while the system is running for enhanced scalability. At
the same time, the functionality also improves reliability,
availability and serviceability (RAS) by allowing �hot replace� on
systems to avoid�scheduled maintenance downtime. �Windows Server
2008 will help organizations increase the security, flexibility and
manageability of their server infrastructure while saving time and
reducing costs,� said Bill Laing, general manager, Windows Server
Division at Microsoft Corp. �Windows Server 2008 for Itanium-based
systems, along with SQL Server 2005, will offer customers the
highest levels of performance, reliability and scalability for
mission-critical applications. Our close collaboration with NEC has
been a crucial component in the development of next-generation
technologies such as dynamic partitioning in Microsoft Windows
Server 2008.� Designed as NEC�s next-generation mainframe
architecture, processing and I/O modules of the NEC
Express5800/1000 series of servers can be partitioned at the
hardware level to create multiple physically-isolated servers.
Through this architecture, the NEC Express5800/1000 servers have
the unique capability of providing hardware-assisted memory state
copy of a failing cell. This assisted �memory copy� capability
accelerates the hot replace function of dynamic partitioning within
Microsoft Windows Server 2008. A Focus Consulting analyst brief
