NEC Launches ExpressCluster® Replicator Essential on AWS Marketplace


NEC Corporation of America (NEC), a leading provider and integrator of advanced IT and communications solutions, today announced that it is offering the NEC ExpressCluster Replicator Essential for Windows™ solution, a new automated disaster recovery solution, on AWS Marketplace.

The new NEC solution provides data replication and automated recovery of physical or virtual production Windows file server to a standby virtual machine running on Amazon Web Services (News - Alert) (AWS). The fully automated, remote disaster recovery solution can recover important Windows network file servers within minutes to avoid business disruption due to production system hardware, software or site failures. The NEC solution leverages a flexible and low-cost ExpressCluster and AWS via subscriptions - thus eliminating the need for dedicated disaster recovery 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, Vice President, 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 disaster recovery solution with exceptional flexibility and affordability."

While a range of companies of varying size will find the NEC solution attractive, it is ideally suited for customers hat have high-value Windows file servers without readily available disaster recovery infrastructure, but need automated disaster recovery at a minimized total solution cost.



NEC VP of Strategic Business and Planning, Mitsuhiro Murooka, 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 disaster recovery 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."
