New “Forward!” by Unisys Available
Unisys Corporation today announced that its new Forward! by Unisys enterprise computing platform is available for delivery to clients.
Forward! by Unisys is a breakthrough fabric-based platform that brings unmatched levels of mission-critical security, availability, scalability and predictable computing performance to workloads running on Intel-based servers.
With its blend of mission-critical performance and open-systems flexibility, Forward! by Unisys is ideal for running secure cloud and big data workloads, boosting the performance of ERP applications such as SAP, addressing server sprawl by consolidating data center resources, and migrating from legacy systems that use the Unix operating environment.
In contrast to typical virtualization environments that share common resources, leading to unpredictable performance, the Forward! platform uses Unisys' advanced secure partitioning (s--Par) software technology to create a secure "container" of dedicated resources for each application workload. Combined with industry-standard Intel Xeon family processors, this approach provides the flexibility and cost benefits of virtualization with the predictable performance of proprietary Unix systems.
"The availability of Forward! by Unisys culminates years of innovative thinking and hard work by our teams to bring a new paradigm to the enterprise computing market," said Dominick Cavuoto, president, Unisys Technology, Consulting and Integration Solutions. "For our clients, today's announcement is just the start of a more secure, more flexible, more cost-efficient way of powering their mission-critical applications. We look forward to helping organizations realize the very real advantages of this breakthrough platform."
