NEC Cloud to Simplify Business Transformations to the Cloud


IRVING, Texas, Oct. 18 — NEC Corporation of America (NEC), a leading provider and integrator of advanced IT, communications, managed services and biometric solutions, today announced the launch of its NEC Cloud solutions and expansion of the portfolio to include transformational services that help customers navigate successfully as they move business functions to the cloud.

NEC Cloud leverages NEC's deep experience of delivering enterprise class Managed and Integrated IT solutions, including NEC's proven Software Defined Networking (SDN) product family (award-winning ProgrammableFlow networking and Nblock infrastructure), and UNIVERGE Cloud communications solutions to its customers.

NEC Cloud offerings share three core characteristics:

  • Transformation: Using a consultative approach, NEC tackles the first stage of chaos, helping customers choose which cloud services work best for their current business environment as well as their future business strategy.
  • Security, Compliance and Control: The chosen cloud services meet both industry and regulatory security and compliance requirements to give customers more control of their business.
  • Keeping it Simple: Provide end-to-end management automation of infrastructure and applications, enabling solutions that are easy to use, deploy and manage.

The NEC Cloud portfolio includes four core solutions: Private Infrastructure as a Service; Unified Communications as a Service; Enterprise Applications as a Service; and Testing as a Service. Solutions are delivered through three deployment models: private cloud, hybrid cloud, and public cloud.

"The NEC Cloud offerings are a natural extension of NEC's proven track record of delivering business value through integrated solutions that leverage our broad global technology portfolio," said Harumi Ikeda, executive vice president, Cloud Business Development, NEC Corporation of America. "We understand our customers' challenges as they move to the cloud, and our consultative approach simplifies these complexities throughout the cloud lifecycle."

"By taking a transformational approach, NEC provides cloud solutions that reduce the complexities customers encounter when transitioning critical business functions to the cloud," said Vinod Muthuswamy, vice president, NEC Managed and Cloud Services. "We reduce risk by establishing a baseline of the current environment, identifying business requirements, and determining the future business strategy so that customers can fully leverage the advantages of the cloud."

NEC will continue to focus its cloud solutions on higher value infrastructure, applications and managed services that enable business transformation of the enterprise.

CometCloud: Using a Federated HPC-Cloud to Understand Fluid Flow in Microchannels

The ever-growing complexity of scientific and engineering problems continues to pose new computational challenges. Thus, we present a novel federation model that enables end-users with the ability to aggregate heterogeneous resource scale problems. The feasibility of this federation model has been proven, in the context of the UberCloud HPC Experiment, by gathering the most comprehensive information to date on the effects of pillars on microfluid channel flow.

CERN, Google, and the Future of Global Science Initiatives

Large-scale, worldwide scientific initiatives rely on some cloud-based system to both coordinate efforts and manage computational efforts at peak times that cannot be contained within the combined in-house HPC resources. Last week at Google I/O, Brookhaven National Lab’s Sergey Panitkin discussed the role of the Google Compute Engine in providing computational support to ATLAS, a detector of high-energy particles at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
