NEC Computers S.A.S., a subsidiary of NEC Corporation, announces the
release of new, innovative ready-to-use solutions, to meet
the increasing demand by companies for high performance solutions which respect
the environment.
The
environment: a major challenge for business
In a difficult economic climate, where budgetary
constraints are increasing and where performance demands are vital, it’s easy
to see how business interests and environmentally friendly practices can
converge, with companies seeking to:
- Significantly reduce energy bills
- Minimise storage space
- Improve of workstation ergonomics
- Optimised the use of physical and software resources
- Lower administration costs
New working
practices: to remain competitive
In order to remain competitive, it is now imperative
that new working practices are adopted. With Web conferencing and remote
working becoming commonplace; the era of expensive, energy consuming travel is now
over. To perform well, companies must give their employees the tools they need
to communicate and collaborate effectively.
To meet these
challenges, NEC offers an all-in-one solution
Traditionally, companies have needed to call upon
different suppliers to obtain a complete unified communications or virtualization
solution.
Now, benefitting from the synergy between all NEC
entities in Europe, NEC Computers is able to
integrate all the technologies needed to obtain complete solutions for its
clients. They can be adapted to the needs of each SME/SMI, in the public or
private sector, regardless of whether the sector is Education, Healthcare, Financial,
Services, or Public Authorities, etc….
To improve their productivity and therefore focus on
their core business NEC offers businesses turnkey solutions aligned along four
key approaches:
- Unified Communications
while respecting client demands in terms of security and high availability.
This packaged, tailored communications solution (Servers, storage, telephony,
software suite, professional services), ensures perfect interoperability and
overall consistency.
The offering is centred on what is termed a Unified
Messaging base (Microsoft Exchange 2007), complemented by optional modules
which enable the implementation of a complete, turnkey unified communications
solution.
- Continuity of service
need for global availability, both in terms of local resilience (Servers,
storage bay, backup systems, etc.) and geographical resilience (clustering
tools, replication software, BRP-BCP, etc.).
greater than 99.999%, both for core business applications and sensitive
virtualised environments.
- Virtualisation
offers an innovative, fundamental technological solution which allows IT
managers to optimise their IT infrastructure, to make it more flexible as well
as to adapt to any organisational changes. Also NEC is the only producer able
to offer a simple continuous availability solution for virtualised
environments, without the need to deploy more complex and expensive cluster
type software solutions (which are difficult to justify for local resilience).
- Visual Computing
vertical markets with a range of solutions ranging from a simple workstation to
graphical rendering farms, associating them with innovative yield and storage
calculation solutions, validated by the NEC centre of excellence to operate
with all graphical applications available on the market.
"For
NEC, ascending the value chain and selling innovative solutions is a real
strategic change. In the current economic climate, NEC will offer considerable
support to companies, not only to reduce their total cost of ownership (TCO)
and improve their results, but also to be competitive, thanks to the use of
powerful environmentally friendly computing", declares Tong Chhor,
Executive Director of NEC’s Enterprise Computing Business Unit.
