NEC Corp. of America is offering native VMware vSphere support on its fault-tolerant servers. This will give uptime assurance to virtualized environments running on the high-availability systems.
NEC officials announced June 29 that the company's sixth-generation FT Express5800/300 servers—which are powered by the latest Intel Xeon processors—support VMware's virtualization platform, a move they say will make it easier for enterprises to adopt virtualization for mission-critical applications.
