Unisys Unveils Plans for the Real-Time Infrastructure; New Offerings Position IT Infrastructure as the Dynamic Foundation of the 3D Visible Enterprise, Enabling Shared Infrastructure Resources to Adjust to Changing Business Needs

Business Wire, April 19, 2005

BLUE BELL, Pa. -- Unisys Corporation (NYSE:UIS) today announced plans to deliver a series of integrated IT infrastructure solutions and service offerings under the Real-Time Infrastructure (RTI) banner.

RTI solutions will enable companies to adapt to ever-changing business needs, while allowing CIOs to drive down costs, increase agility and improve quality of service. The first of these solutions, Business Continuance SafeGuard 30m series, overcomes key barriers that have prevented fast, inexpensive and long-distance disaster recovery.

"The concepts behind real-time infrastructure have been evolving for some time, under different names and from different sources, but with the same underlying principles," said Leo Daiuto, president, Systems and Technology, Unisys. "For CIOs and IT managers, it's all about having a set of shared computing resources that are tuned and sized dynamically and automatically based on business-driven demands. It's about making the infrastructure serve the needs of the business, rather than vice versa."

These announcements extend Unisys portfolio for the 3D Visible Enterprise (3D-VE) -- Unisys approach to delivering a holistic view into the cause-and-effect relationships of business strategy, process, applications and IT infrastructure. 3D-VE enables business managers to see, model and manage their businesses more effectively, aligning IT with the business to maximize return on existing assets and new investments.

"Infrastructure is a critical variable that can either stimulate or stifle real-time business," said Daiuto. "Unfortunately, today's IT complexity has often stolen control of the infrastructure away from the CIO, and has turned this vital piece of the enterprise into a potential liability rather than an asset. These innovative, integrated solution and service offerings build simplicity back into the customer's data center, allowing CIOs to regain control of the infrastructure while reducing costs, reducing risk and increasing agility. Ultimately, Unisys RTI solutions deliver the real-time infrastructures customers need to remain competitive."

The first of these solutions, the Unisys Business Continuance SafeGuard 30m series, significantly reduces the cost of overcoming the time and distance barriers for disaster recovery associated with standards-based servers. In an industry-first, the Unisys SafeGuard 30m series allows companies to automatically recover Microsoft clustered applications in less than 30 minutes when recovery sites are more than 300km apart. This enables customers to align recovery times with business process priorities, and protect their applications and data at unlimited distance. RTI solutions provide a dynamic foundation for the 3D Visible Enterprise (3D-VE), enabling shared infrastructure resources that adjust to business needs.

Future Unisys solutions for Real-Time Infrastructure will address standardization of infrastructure components for lower-cost business and IT operations; dynamic provisioning and virtualization of infrastructure resources; automation of infrastructure management to reduce costs and improve service levels; improved content management for better visibility and business process flow; and other critical infrastructure needs to enable real-time business. Future services for Real-Time Infrastructure will provide customers with blueprints for transforming their infrastructures to support real-time business. Additional details about solution availability and service capabilities will be announced over the next 12 months.
