NEC ExpressCluster Replicator Essential on AWS Marketplace

NEC Corporation of America is offering the ExpressCluster Replicator Essential for Windows solution, a automated DR solution, on AWS marketplace.

This NEC solution provides data replication and automated recovery of physical or virtual production Windows file server to a standby VM running on AWS. The automated, remote DR solution can recover important Windows network file servers within minutes to avoid business disruption due to production system hardware, software or site failures. The solution leverages a flexible and low-cost ExpressCluster and AWS via subscriptions – thus eliminating the need for dedicated DR infrastructure and facility as well as perpetual licensing costs.

“We are pleased to have NEC’s ExpressCluster Replicator Essential available on AWS Marketplace,” said David McCann, VP, AWS Marketplace, Amazon Web Services, Inc. “Companies of all sizes are increasingly leveraging cloud-based solutions for more flexible IT infrastructure and NEC offers a great high performance DR solution with exceptional flexibility and affordability.“

While a range of companies of varying size will find the NEC solution, it is suited for customers that have Windows file servers without readily available DR infrastructure, but need automated DR at a minimized total solution cost.

Mitsuhiro Murooka, VP, strategic business and planning, NEC, said: “NEC has years of experience helping organizations in multiple industries. We recognize that companies that use on-premise or cloud file servers for their critical business operations need a high performance DR solution should their data be lost or become inaccessible due to hardware, software and site failures and the resulting huge negative business impact. Our new offering would provide real-time replication of production Windows file server to AWS and in case of disaster, the Windows file server and replicated data would be automatically recovered and accessible on AWS.”
