Unisys Solutions for Latest Microsoft Software Boost Clients` Productivity Options - from Data Centers to Mobile Offices

Unisys Services, Software Solutions and Servers Extend Capabilities of Microsoft
Windows Server 2008 R2, Microsoft Windows 7, and Microsoft Exchange Server 2010
Throughout Clients` Enterprises
BERLIN--(Business Wire)--
Unisys Corporation (NYSE:UIS) today announced at the Microsoft TechEd Europe
conference that it is providing multiple services-based solutions for the new
Microsoft Windows 7, Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 and Microsoft Exchange
Server 2010 environments.

The solutions include data center transformation solutions whose value is
demonstrated by Unisys proof-point tests, as well as end-user services and a
unified communications service that Unisys is hosting for Microsoft Corp.

"When Microsoft delivers software innovations, Unisys is there with innovative
solutions that help clients realize the full value of the products," said Colin
Lacey, vice president, Systems and Storage, Unisys. "We`re doing that again for
these latest Microsoft offerings to help users improve their operations and make
their people better able to do business anywhere at any time."

These Unisys solutions are designed to help enterprises boost information
workers` productivity no matter where they are or how they work, improve the IT
infrastructure so it supports business more efficiently, and reduce the costs of
IT service delivery and support.

"Unisys deep understanding of both data centers and end-user experiences adds an
extra dimension that helps Microsoft customers realize new efficiencies in
computing across the enterprise," said Betsy Frost, general manager, UC
Marketing Management at Microsoft Corp. "We are impressed at the range and depth
of solutions that Unisys is offering to support Microsoft Windows 7, Microsoft
Windows Server 2008 R2 and Microsoft Exchange Server 2010."

Tests Show that Unisys Data Center Transformation Solutions Boost Windows Server
2008 R2

Unisys builds on expertise and best practices in virtualized infrastructure -
especially through Unisys Data Center Transformation Services, Infrastructure
Management Suite of solutions, and family of Enterprise Servers - to help
clients use Windows Server 2008 R2 to transform their data centers for greater
efficiency at lower cost.

Unisys recently conducted proof-point tests that demonstrate the power of
Windows Server 2008 R2 in a virtualized environment.

In the first test, Unisys demonstrated that the Unisys ES7000 Model 7600R
Enterprise Server provides a powerful platform for Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2
database consolidation.

Using Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter Edition, a single Unisys ES7000 server
supported the same workload as 32 dual-socket quad-core commodity servers, each
running two 85-gigabyte SQL Server 2008 R2 databases, while providing better
response times.

Unisys achieved those results while quadrupling the utilization rate of the
commodity servers and using 55 percent less power. The 32:1 consolidation ratio
shows that Unisys can help clients configure and manage their SQL Server
database infrastructure more efficiently and significantly reduce their
facilities, server maintenance and support costs.

In the second proof-point test, Unisys demonstrated high availability for
virtualized SQL Server 2008 R2 workloads delivered through the new Live
Migration capability of Microsoft Hyper-V.

In the past, clients` inability to move virtual machines (VMs) from one host to
another without any perceived downtime or service interruption - a capability
especially important in large-scale clustered SQL Server environments - has been
a key barrier to virtualizing SQL Server workloads with Hyper-V. Unisys solved
this challenge with the Hyper-V Live Migration capability.

Unisys migrated 12 VMs, with each running two 85-gigabyte databases in a single
instance of SQL Server 2008 R2 with 20 concurrent users, between two nodes of an
ES7000 Model 7600R clustered server. During the Live Migration process, users
experienced virtually no loss of performance or interruption of service.

A third test supported the Unisys decision framework that helps clients make the
right virtualization choices for their environment. Unisys demonstrated the
significant performance and total-cost-of-ownership (TCO) advantages delivered
by Hyper-V. The proof-point test revealed that a 12-socket Unisys ES7000 Model
7600R can support 384 VMs - the maximum currently supported under Windows Server
2008 R2 - with a three-year TCO per VM of $578. In contrast, a two-socket server
using the latest generation of Intel processors could support only 16 VMs at a
far higher three-year TCO per VM of $2,035.

End-User Services Extend Benefits of Exchange Server 2010 and Windows 7

Unisys End-User Productivity Services enable IT organizations to realize the
full business potential of Exchange Server 2010 and Windows 7. These services
provide multiple options for end users to securely access key productivity
environments - whether running centrally managed applications locally on mobile
devices such as netbooks and smartphones, accessing them through cloud-based
services or using a mixture of delivery options.

For example, users of Exchange Server 2010 can benefit from Unisys Unified
Communications as a Service (UCaaS), which delivers Microsoft Exchange,
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server and Microsoft Office Communicator
applications in a multi-tenant environment through Unisys Secure Cloud Solution.

In addition, Unisys provides migration and management support for Windows 7 to
help clients deploy the new environment most efficiently and effectively. Also,
the advanced desktop management, support and flexible applications delivery
capabilities of Unisys End-User Productivity Services give Windows 7 users
anywhere, anytime access to their critical productivity environments.

Unified Communications Solutions Help End-Users Explore the Possibilities

Based on Unisys expertise in managed services, Microsoft has selected Unisys to
build and manage the Microsoft Unified Communications Virtual Experience for
Exchange Server 2010 and Office Communications Server 2007 R2. This cloud-based
trial service enables enterprise users to try, free of charge, the latest
Microsoft UC technology.

The service gives organizations worldwide the opportunity to test key new
features of the Microsoft offerings, such as multi-party instant messaging and
voice and video conferencing, and evaluate the potential benefits of Microsoft
unified communications for their business. It also helps them assess how they
can help employees collaborate more productively using the devices and
technologies that best suit their work styles - whether PCs, web browsers or
mobile phones.
