NEC has a very long history of tape products for main frame Computer and has been in the tape business for over 40 years. NEC started off in 1960s with half inch open reel tape, and kept on working to launch half inch cartridge type tape automation, which it successfully did in early 70s. The half inch cartridge type tape automation produced several products during 80s and 90s respectively.

NEC has always launched products that are the cores of market demand. The most recent of such ventures are introduced here.

The required type of storage environment varies depending on the business style and information environment of the company. SAN, a dedicated network between servers and storage, enables high speed processing of databases with minimal influence on the LAN traffic of enterprise business systems. The NEC Storage D/E series is a series of optimum disk array systems for open systems and suitable for use in SAN environments.

Storage growth is at unprecedented levels and will continue this phenomenal growth trend. But with today's conventional storage it is difficult to match the needs of the business. Current storage infrastructures are rigid and stove piped. Some are very inexpensive but cannot scale effectively. Others have scalability but the initial investment is extremely high and in some case prohibitive. The NEC series of Enterprise Modular Storage addresses these and other key issues facing today's IT executive. NEC's D-Series of Enterprise Modular Storage are designed to provide enterprise performance, connectivity, capacity and availability without the high initial cost of high end enterprise systems. The D-Series can start as small as one terabyte or less and scale to over 1.1 petabytes, all non-disruptively. In addition performance and connectivity scalability is linear making sure that business response is maintained. Utilizing innovative technologies the D-Series allows availability to scale dependent upon the criticality of the applications. New feature like RAID Triple Mirror and RAID 3 double parity address availability while maintaining performance. These and other aspects of the NEC D-Series make NEC Enterprise Modular Arrays not only a good investment but a strategic one. NEC has been demonstrating its Storage Excellence for almost 50 years as a leader in manufacturing for both branded as well as an OEM provider of enterprise storage systems. With the D-Series of Enterprise Modular Arrays NEC continues to maintain a leadership position in developing and deploying advanced technologies to address the storage requirements of the industry. The D-Series offers many innovative features that create a wealth of benefits for customers that require performance, availability and non-disruptive scalability. In addition, the entire storage offering addresses customer requirements for ease of use, low total cost of ownership, fully-tested solutions, and smoothly integrated hardware and software. NEC's storage products are designed to be deployed easily in any SAN environment, and are tested for interoperability with other storage manufacturers and supporting peripherals devices. Technology NEC's storage products help customers manage data more effectively, efficiently and reduce complexity. The D-Series of Enterprise Modular Storage (EMS) is built on NEC's proven advanced storage technologies. The D Series can scale from 219GB up to 1.152 PB's of capacity. Unlike previous technologies where scalability required moving from one model or architecture to another the D-Series provides a seamless and scalable path for all aspects of the storage system. These include capacity, connectivity performance as well as availability. What the NEC D-Series offers is a single and unified storage architecture that addresses the requirements of small enterprises to the largest enterprise. Performance is achieved by utilizing ultra-high speed host fibre channel interfaces, large cache capacity, and high performance SAS high density disk drives. Business continuity is enhanced with the use of resilient RAID 6 double parity technology and RAID TM (triple mirror), which tolerates two simultaneous drive failures to reduce costly downtime. Patented Phoenix Technology automates self-recovery of failed drives by separating them from the RAID group to perform background diagnostics and can reduce the need to do rebuild by 30 to 50 percent. NEC's storage technology offers users incredible scalability and availability at an exceptional total cost of ownership. D1-10 Storage Array NEC's D1-10 Storage Array is an entry-level model that offers excellent performance and TCO reduction, including support for a mixed SAS/SATA configuration that meets the demands of differing quality of service requirements.

Virtual PC Servers are key components of the Virtual PC Center solution. They are part of the backend of the solution. A Virtual PC Server is designed to run virtual PCs for the Windows operation system. All Virtual PC Servers are open configurations allowing customers full access to all the features of VMware VDI and SigmaSystemCenter, as well as the ability to integrate other third-party solutions. NEC's Virtual PC Servers are configured with VMware's VDI. Also, all NEC thin clients support VDI providing the ability to connect to server-based desktop virtual PCs via RDP and ICA protocols. VDI provides the benefits of server-based computing without the limitations of shared technologies or application integration hassles. Users have access to a complete image of their virtual PC including the operating system, applications and configurations. As shown on the table below, the complete hypervisor options for Virtual PC Center are: VMware ESX Starter Edition VMware ESX Standard Edition VMware ESX Enterprise Edition VMware VDI VI (Standard Edition) with Virtual Center and Sigma System Center

NEC's thin client computing devices capabilities range from multimedia support and video processing to data security in mobility. By incorporating leading-edge technologies from NEC and ServerEngines™ LLC, the US100 and US110 have extended multimedia support making the transition to virtual PCs almost transparent to end users. The TCM160 laptop thin clients provide higher PC data security for the enterprise mobile users. Thin Client Model Display Multimedia OS DESKTOP US100 1600 x 1200 MMA* Wyse Thin OS US110 1600 x 1200 MMA* Windows CE *MMA: Multimedia Acceleration Because NEC's thin client devices de-encode multimedia files on the client side, the multimedia content can efficiently reach the US100 or US110 thin client device through existing network bandwidth, with enough horsepower to play high-resolution video at full frame rate. Literally, hundreds of virtual PC users can simultaneously view multimedia files on the same network. The US100 and US110 sport a high resolution graphics card and a dedicated DSP to decompress/compress streaming audio-video content from the host computer. These devices are designed to be connected to a server in the datacenter hosting multiple virtual PCs. This architecture solution is the most cost-effective, easiest to manage and maximizes business PC efficiencies. NEC's complete PC virtualization solution is called Virtual PC Center.
