New Unisys IT continuity solutions and server platform
The SafeGuard Family comprises: * SafeGuard Duplex, a new, advanced capability providing data protection by replicating critical data to a backup site. SafeGuard Duplex protects data associated with a wide range of operating systems, including HP-UX, Sun Solaris, IBM AIX, Linux and Microsoft Windows, as well as storage systems from HP, IBM, EMC and Hitachi. * SafeGuard 30m, delivering automated, cost-effective application failover and recover to operations in 30 minutes or less through its capability to access data from a backup site anywhere in the world. In Microsoft SQL Server environments SafeGuard 30m can provide complete, cost-effective data protection using both data replication and server clustering. * ES7000/one - the ES7000/one enterprise server, the latest model in the award-winning Unisys ES7000 family, is designed to drive real-time enterprise computing based on open standards. It accommodates both Microsoft Windows and Linux environments, including Red Hat and Novell SuSE distributions. Simplifying IT server management, provisioning and re-provisioning, the ES7000/one can scale as workloads grow, accommodating between four and 32 processors supporting both 32- and 64-bit processing. The ES7000/one is claimed to be the first server on the market to enable users to configure a single platform for both Intel Xeon MP and Itanium 2 processors. With the ES7000/one, Unisys customers can now purchase servers populated with active and inactive processors. They can use the active processors at any time, and activate the inactive processors through an electronic key they obtain from Unisys. This capability can optimize customers' cost of IT acquisition and ownership. They purchase only the initially active processors and deploy the inactive ones as needed on a pay-per-use basis as workloads dictate.
