And they think that normal enterprise servers have 43.5 hours of downtime every year.
What?
As in every single server in an enterprise has that much down time? wow! That's crazy!
Do they consider time a server is rebooting to be downtime? As in rebooting for patches? Even then, that might be high.
That's what they think. Who knows how they count it. It's all pretty crazy. If you reboot for OS patches, that would not count as their system has the same downtime for that.

They push that they are Japanese a bit too much. They've included being Japanese as a selling point twice now. Not sure why that matters. What does the fact that they are Japanese add in value?
Well there was a time that Americans considered Japanese products top notch, but I think those days are over.
That was like the 1970s.

As a friend point out today, this reference was actually made in the movie Back to the Future, 1985, so at least through the mid 80's consumers believed Japanese stuff was top notch.

We're jealous of Dell's VRTX series, we want to push something about as bad?

Far, far worse. I can come up with great uses cases for the VRTX. This train wreck, though, I have no idea. The VRTX is just niche for ROBOs. But this.... what idiot would even look at one of these?

NEC does fault tolerance.... without high availability. What a disaster.
