NEC's High-Availability Software "EXPRESSCLUSTER" No. 1 in Asia Pacific Two Years Running

TOKYO, Jul 26, 2011 - (ACN Newswire) - NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701) announced today that its high-availability software, "EXPRESSCLUSTER," secured top share in terms of monetary value (22%) in the 2010 HA cluster software market in the Asia Pacific region, including Japan. This is the second year in a row that EXPRESSCLUSTER has taken top share(1).

In 2010, EXPRESSCLUSTER took the number one domestic position in terms of monetary value with an approximate 30% share according to a sales performance survey on domestic clustering software.

Survey results also indicate that business expansion in the Asia Pacific region was driven through close cooperation with sales partners, particularly in China, where positive results were realized with financial institutions and telecommunications carriers. Domestically, support was received from many customers through implementation of an optimized licensing system(2) for virtualization environments in June of last year and software performed strongly with virtualization for the financial field and government offices.

Looking forward, NEC will continue to proactively enhance EXPRESSCLUSTER functions, improve support services and expand business partnerships while providing customers with a sense of security and reliability.
